Unhappy with thigh lift results - do I need a revision? (photos)

Hello Independent440513 in Corpus Christi. Thank you for your question regarding thigh lift revision and additional procedures to enhance your results.

Upon reviewing your history and photos, it appears a multi-stage approach could offer significant improvements. Initially, I recommend comprehensive liposuction of your anterior, posterior, medial, and lateral thighs. This procedure should encompass the entire thigh area, from your knees to your groin, ensuring a uniform contouring effect.

Concurrently, a bilateral hip lift could be beneficial. This procedure would involve placing a scar over your hip, extending from any existing tummy tuck scar across the hip towards the upper buttock. This lift aims to elevate the lateral thigh area, similar to the effect you demonstrated in one of your pictures.

Following a recovery period of 4 to 6 months, a revision thigh lift would be advisable. This would entail an incision from the groin to the knee, allowing for the removal of any remaining excess skin and any fat missed during the initial liposuction.

It's crucial to allow adequate healing time between surgeries and to adhere strictly to wearing compression garments for at least six weeks post-procedure to support recovery and optimize results.

I hope this plan provides a clearer path towards achieving the thigh contour you desire. Good luck, and please ensure you discuss these options thoroughly with a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in complex body contouring revisions.

Sincerely,
