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.

  • Canada Understand

    Canada is a land of vast distances and rich natural beauty. Economically and technologically, it resembles its neighbour to the South, the United States, and shares with it the longest undefended border in the world. Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 by an act of British parliament, and is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. Though a medium sized country by its population, Canada has earned respect on the international stage for its strong diplomatic skills. Internally, the country has displayed success in negotiating compromises amongst a culturally and linguistically varied population, a difficult task considering that language, culture, cuisine and even history vary significantly over the country. In contrast to the United States' image as a melting pot, Canada prefers to consider itself a mosaic of cultures and people. The information below will get you started, but be sure to check the specifics for given regions and cities. It has socialized medicine, too.


  • Canada By plane

    You are likely to arrive to Canada by air, most likely into Montreal, Toronto or Vancouver (the 3 largest cities, from East to West). But other airports in Canada also have international (mostly from the US) flights as well, particularly (from east to west), Halifax, Moncton, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Calgary, Edmonton, and Victoria.
