Thighplasty

A Thighplasty procedure, also known as a Thigh Lift procedure or a Thigh Contouring procedure, is intended to lift and reshape thigh skin that is unattractively saggy and dimpled. Many candidates for a Thighplasty procedure have excess skin as a result of weight loss, or simply because of the natural effects of aging. A Thighplasty procedure removes excess fat and skin from the inner and outer thighs to create a tighter, firmer, more toned thigh appearance.

There are a number of different ways to perform Thighplasty surgery, depending on the areas of concern.
Inner (or Medial) Thigh Lift - The inside of the thighs are very difficult to shape through exercise. An Inner Thigh Lift procedure involves an incision along the junction between the thigh and pubic area and removal of loose skin, and if necessary fat.
Outer (or Lateral) Thigh Lift - This procedure tightens the skin on the front and outside of the thigh.
Inner (Medial) Thigh Lift with Liposuction - This procedure tightens the skin at the top of the inner thigh; the effects do extend further down the inner thigh than a lift alone lift.

A Thighplasty procedure is a major cosmetic surgery procedure. All Thighplasty procedures are performed under a general anaesthetic. When the Thighplasty procedure is combined with a liposuction procedure, the entire process can take from two to four hours, but it really depends on the individual patient as well as the situation. The incision is very inconspicuous and is located in the groin beneath the bikini line. It has a tendency to heal slightly wide and dark but this gets better over time.

Drains are used for two days. These are soft and comfortable and removed without pain. You can shower on the second or third day after surgery after the drains are out. Dressings and a light compression garment are used for several days. The stitches are removed at ten days.

The Thighplasty procedure can be combined with other plastic surgical procedures. Such as a Buttock Lift, Liposuction, Tummy Tuck, or Breast Lift procedure.

After recovery from a Thighplasty procedure, the patient can go home after several hours, but it is more comfortable to stay overnight. The patient should plan on taking at least 3 weeks off work. You will feel tired and sore for 3 to 7 days after surgery. A compression garment is worn continuously for 2 to 3 weeks, and then at night for a further 2 to 3 weeks. This will help define the new contour of your thighs.
Activities that increase your heart rate above 100 beats per minute for 3 weeks are not recommended.

All surgical procedures carry a risk of infection, bleeding, and reaction to anesthesia. Specific Thighplasty risks can include scarring, nerve injury, and tissue damage.

The result of a Thighplasty procedure is beautiful, tightened, lifted and flattened contour to the thighs. A more confident and comfortable feeling in clothing, especially sports wear and jeans. If there is continued sagging or weight loss, then a second touch up procedure can help. A natural and presentable appearance in the first week that just gets better over the next three to six months.

  • Brazil Regions

    Brazil is the fifth largest country on earth. So large is it that, for economic planning purposes, it had to be divided into five regions. The five regions (below) are drawn around state lines, but they more or less follow natural, economic and cultural borderlines.


  • Brazil History and Economy

    Until 1500, Brazil was inhabited solely by indigenous people, mainly of the Tupi and Guarani ethnic groups. Actual settling by the Portuguese began later that century, with the extraction of valuable pau-brasil wood, from which the country draws its name. The following four centuries saw further exploitation of the country's natural riches (gold and rubber) besides the rise of an economy based on agriculture (sugar and coffee) and slave labor, millions of Africans taken to the new world in a forced diaspora. Meanwhile, extermination or Christianizing of natives kept its pace, and the 19th century saw a second wave of European (mainly Italian and German) immigration, adding to this unique and complex set of factors that generated today's equally complex and unique Brazilian culture and society.

  • In what is believed to be the first peer-reviewed study of its kind involving human subjects, researchers at the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy and the Georgia Institute of Technology have demonstrated that patches coated on one side with microscopic needles can facilitate transdermal delivery of clinically relevant doses of a drug that normally cannot pass through the skin.
  • First time runners, more likely to ignore foot and ankle pain, are at higher risk of injury, warns Temple podiatrist Howard Palamarchuk. For the past 24 years, Palamarchuk has cared for runners' feet at the finish line of some of the most difficult races in the country, including the Boston Marathon.
