Do You Dread Bathing Suit Season?
A Thigh Lift Could Be the Answer to Your Problem

If your thighs have any of the following, you may be an excellent candidate for thigh lift surgery:

• Loose, sagging skin after weight loss
• Dimpled skin caused by cellulite
• Reduced skin elasticity due to aging
• Fat deposits that don't respond to dieting and exercise

Thigh lifts can smooth the contours of your upper legs, giving you firmer, sleeker thighs that make you eager to get your swimsuit on and enjoy the sun. A thigh lift, also known as thighplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and tissue from the upper legs. You may need an outer or inner thigh lift depending on your problem areas, or Dr. Sterry may find that you are a good candidate for both.

With outer thigh lifts, which generally come as part of lower body lift surgeries, Dr. Sterry will concentrate on the buttocks and “saddlebags.” This procedure typically has the most dramatic affects. An inner thigh lift can be trickier, but sometimes it is the best option to achieve the optimal result for the patient. It may also be performed as part of a lower body lift if the patient is right for it.

Thigh lift surgery may be part of a lower body lift that includes a tummy tuck and buttock lift, or may be performed alone depending on the wants and needs of the patient. Inner and outer thigh lifts can provide the final enhancement for a patient who has already had a tummy tuck or who simply has extra skin, dimpling or reduced elasticity in this particular area. After consulting with Dr. Sterry, you can determine the best course of action for your unique situation.

Schedule a consultation with Dr. Sterry today, and leave your self-consciousness behind when bathing suit season begins. You and Dr. Sterry will discuss all the thigh lift options and costs, and he will determine whether you are an appropriate candidate for this surgery. Dr. Sterry and his team believe in giving each prospective patient the time and attention to make the most informed decision possible. He will listen to your wants and needs, evaluate your goals and decide what the best course of action is to achieve the overall look you desire.
