Thigh Lift in Athens
What is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift is the ideal procedure for women and men who are bothered by the saggy and uneven appearance of their thighs. A thigh lift focuses on removing excess loose skin and pockets of fat from the thighs to create a slimmer, tighter, and more toned appearance. For patients looking to refine other areas of the body, this procedure can be combined with Liposuction
At Parker Plastic Surgery, we are dedicated to providing our patients with the personalized surgical care they need. Dr. James Parker is a board-certified plastic surgeon who strives to offer the best results Athens has to offer.
The Benefits of a Thigh Lift
There are a variety of factors that can cause the thighs to take on a saggy and lumpy appearance. Aging can cause skin laxity around the thighs and small pockets of stubborn fat can form around the thighs over the course of years. Major weight loss can leave behind loose and saggy skin around the thighs, which may cause self-consciousness. Patients seeking more comprehensive body reshaping may consider combining a thigh lift with a Tummy Tuck or Mommy Makeover to achieve balanced and harmonious body contours.

How a Thigh Lift is Performed
It is a surgery that reshapes thighs by reducing excess skin and fat resulting in smoother skin and better-proportioned contours of the thighs. The incisions and pattern vary based on the area or areas to be treated. For a medial thigh lift, the incisions are placed in the groin extending downward and wrapping around the back of the thigh. The incisions for an outer thigh lift start at the groin and extend upward and over the hip. Both types of incisions can usually be hidden by most types of clothing or swimsuits.
