Thigh lift
A thigh lift is the ideal solution if your skin loses elasticity due to the natural ageing process or after weight loss, and there is visible sagging or unwanted fat deposits showing on the thighs.
Indication
A thigh lift not only results in a slimmer silhouette, but also offers the additional benefit of significantly and often permanently improving irregularities from cellulite, lipedema or as a consequence of unsuccessful liposuction.
Treatment
A thigh lift tightens the excess skin on the thigh. It is always combined with liposuction to protect nerves, blood vessels and lymphatic channels. If necessary, unwanted fat deposits can be removed from the outer thigh, knee and lower leg area.
Incision
A thigh lift is usually performed with a vertical incision along the inside of the thighs. This method allows for a thorough correction of skin excess, as horizontal incisions alone are often not sufficient and can cause wide scars that can migrate downwards over time.
Result
Although the wound takes several weeks to heal and long scars remain, satisfaction after the operation is usually high.
Compression garment
Wearing compression trousers is crucial for the result in order to minimize bruising, pain and swelling during the healing phase. In addition, compression pants effectively support scar healing.
It is my pleasure to work with you to develop an individual treatment plan that will make your legs elegant and harmonious.
