A thigh lift in Naperville is surgery that removes excess skin and fat from your thighs. The goal of the procedure is to improve the appearance of your thighs by removing the “dimpled look” produced by cellulite. Some surgeons say this body sculpting procedure is more effective for the front and side thigh areas, and less effective for the back and inside areas. The incision does leave a scar at the hip, but it fades in time and can be hidden by a bathing suit.
A thigh lift usually lasts several hours and can be an outpatient procedure or require a short hospital stay in Naperville. You may be given local or general anesthesia depending on the surgical plan you and your doctor have developed. The surgery begins with an incision in the groin area, near the hip. After the incision is made, your Dr. Richard A. Joseph separates the skin on your thigh from the fat and muscle below by pulling the flap of the skin upwards. Then, Dr. Joseph will remove the excess skin and stretches the remaining skin back in place.
When the procedure is complete, your Dr. Joseph will close the incisions with small stitches and cover them with bandages. A small drainage tube may be inserted in your skin for several days to drain excess fluid from the surgery.
