The inner thigh is one of the most aesthetically sensitive areas in body contouring. The “thigh gap” in youth can reflect fragility and femininity while excess skin from weight fluctuations or aging can be both aesthetically and functionally troublesome. Most often excess skin is accompanied by uneven fat distribution in this region. To treat excess skin and residual pockets of fat, Dr. Sasaki offers thigh lift surgery at his Pasadena plastic surgery practice.

Your Thigh Lift Procedure
Depending on your individual anatomy, a thigh lift requires a combination of liposuction and skin excision. Some patients only need surgery or liposuction. The appropriate treatment for you will be determined during your consultation.
As in any body lift procedures, Dr. Sasaki will make sure that patient’s weight has been stable and there is plan for maintenance around the same weight. Any weight changes could alter and lessen the aesthetic outcome.

Recovery & Results
The scar from the skin excision usually resembles letter “L” with the long limb in the middle of the inner thigh and short limb in the crease.
After surgery you can expect usual bruising. Swelling in this surgery can last for few months which would require you to wear a compression garment.
