Thigh Lift / Thighplasty Surgery in Vancouver
An inner thigh life is a procedure that removes excess skin on the inner thigh where a loss of elasticity exists. Many patients desire this surgery to complete their weight loss journey. During the consultation, a detailed surgical plan will be created to meets the patient’s aesthetic goals. During thigh surgery, an incision is made along the groin crease, from the bikini line in the front to the buttocks crease in the back. Once this incision has been made, liposuction is used to remove excess fat, and loose skin will be lifted and trimmed away. Depending on the extent of the surgery, a draining tube may be placed to help control bleeding. Rarely, an incision is made along the inseam of the thigh, although this is very uncommon and rarely required.
The Surgical Experience
A thigh lift is performed under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility and typically takes around 2-3 hours to complete. It is considered an outpatient procedure. If this surgery is combined with another body contouring procedure, then the patient may be required to stay overnight in the facility. Following surgery, a compression garment will be used to help control swelling and promote circulation. Patients will experience a slow return of normal function.
Cost
The average cost for a thigh lift procedure varies. This price will increase if the surgery is combined with another body contouring procedure.
