Since the most important part that provides the aesthetic integrity of the hips is the thigh region, which is the inner face of the legs, thigh lift surgery is a very popular procedure among people who experience deformation in this region. Deformations in these areas seriously affect the entire leg. Since this situation causes patients to hide their legs, it is also reflected in the person’s clothing choices. In addition to psychological and social effects, deformed legs can cause friction while walking, which can lead to various skin diseases, especially dermatitis. So, what is thigh lift surgery? Let’s peruse the details together.
What is Thighplasty (Thigh Lift)?
Thigh lift surgery is an operation performed to recover sagging caused by excessive weight gain and loss in the thigh area, deformations caused by gravity and age. It is a surgical procedure that aims to obtain a tighter, younger contour as a result of the stretching of the sagging skin and adipose tissue on the upper part of the thigh. This area is genetically one of the weakest tissues in women. For this reason, the procedure is usually applied to women and rarely to men.
Who can have it done?
Those who generally prefer thigh lift surgeries are male and female patients over 40 years old. However, it is an operation preferred by more women, especially since weight gain and loss are more common in post-pregnancy women. Patients who need this operation can have the operation as long as there is no medical obstacle.
In some patients, the problem is only loosening of the skin, while in others, excess fat in the subcutaneous tissues is also a problem.
How and Where Is Thighplasty (Thigh Lift)Â Performed?
Thigh lift surgery is an operation that takes 2-3 hours on average and is performed under general anesthesia. After a detailed examination, the technique to be used is determined, and according to this technique, incisions can be made from under your hip fold or from the inner area of your groin area, and there may be incisions extending from the inner leg area to the knees, depending on the condition of the sagging. The skin and fat tissues that cause sagging are removed from these incisions made to collect the sagging, and the closing process is performed that scars remain in the body folds.
Turkey is the first country proposed by international institutions in this field. Because, in addition to successful operations performed by experienced and talented surgeons with high technology and quality equipment, it stands out from other countries with its affordable price policy. Due to health tourism policies, the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Turkey frequently inspects the competencies, physical facilities and price policies of institutions that accept international patients. In this way, the budget allocated for flight, accommodation and treatment by patients coming to Turkey for treatment is much more advantageous than a treatment in their own country.
