Thigh Lift New York City
Introduction to Thigh Lift
Innovative Body Contouring
What makes the human body so unique is how genuinely different our bodies can be. While the diversity of our contours makes us beautiful, genetics sometimes plays a role in minor frustrations or what seem like impossible hurdles to overcome. We understand how incredibly frustrating it can be to work so hard to lose weight only to be left with excess and sagging skin.
One of the areas where this happens a lot is around the thighs. Oftentimes, the patients that come to William Samson, MD suffer from loose, inelastic skin along the upper legs after extreme weight loss due to diet, exercise, or bariatric surgery. If you’ve reached this page and are looking for a solution, Dr. Samson and our highly skilled team are here to help. When the thighs are disproportionate to the rest of the leg and the buttocks, an effective solution is a Thigh Lift. This popular procedure removes excess skin and fat, revealing a new you in the thigh and Buttock area.
By coming into our New York City practice for a thigh lift consultation, Dr. Samson will be able to answer all questions and provide his expert recommendations. If you’d like to book an appointment, please contact us today. Below, we’ve included our guide to the procedure.
Let’s start with the basics
What is a Thigh Lift?
We understand that medical terminology can be confusing and sometimes more than one can handle. At Dr. Our goal is to make our process of a thigh lift crystal clear, so you are satisfied and comfortable understanding all elements of the procedure. A Thigh Lift, also known as Thighplasty, is also recommended for patients who wish to gain more shapeliness and feel more comfortable wearing swimsuits, shorts, and jeans. To understand this procedure, you must first understand the nuances of the surgical methods.
- Medial Thigh Lift: Also known as an inner thigh lift, is when a surgical incision is made in the inner thigh along the line where the leg meets the groin.
- Lateral Thigh Lift: Also known as an outer thigh lift, the incision is made from the groin around the back of the body so that the buttocks are lifted along with the thigh
Main Advantages
What are the Benefits of a Thigh Lift?
Getting a Thigh Lift at William Samson, MD, in New York City focuses on the inner and outer thigh to maintain proportions during the procedure. This surgery addresses many issues related to age, weight loss, or pregnancy. Some of the most common benefits of the procedure include:
- Excess and unwanted skin removal
- Fat removal, leading to health benefits
- Muscle tightening for better tone
- Reduction of stretch marks
- Reduction of chances of skin infections
What to expect on the day of surgery
In New York City, we perform Thigh Lifts on an outpatient basis and use general anesthesia. On the day of the procedure, Dr. Samson will make an incision in the crease where the upper thigh meets the buttocks or in the groin area near the hip. The skin is then carefully separated from the underlying muscle and tissue, and excess skin is removed. The remaining skin is stretched and tightened over the area and sutured closed. Liposuction may be used to remove excess fat; this can be consulted during your appointment with Dr. Samson.
Thigh Lifts usually take between two to three hours; this will vary based on the type of patient. It should be noted that with this type of surgery, thin tubes may be placed under the skin to drain excess fluids.
*Dr. Samson recommends having someone drive you to and from your operation and stay with you overnight in case of complications arise; this is always a good move to help your day feel the most smooth and comfortable.
What’s the First Step?
If you’re interested in getting a thigh lift in NYC with Dr. Samson, the first step is to schedule a consultation. We will discuss your medical history, lifestyle, and your expectations regarding your surgery. Before a Thigh Lift, we ask that you stop taking medications that increase bleeding. These include aspirin, specific supplements, and anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen. Dr. Samson or one of our skilled technicians may also ask for a medical evaluation to ensure you’re a good candidate for this type of surgery. Contact us today to book your consultation, and we can take your first step toward the thighs you’ve longed for.
