Thigh lift

After very rapid weight loss, which usually occurs after bariatric surgery such as a gastric sleeve or gastric bypass, it is very common for the thighs to lose so much fat and the skin to lose elasticity, leaving excess skin on both thighs. Especially in the internal part of these.

Thigh lift consists of removing all the excess skin from the thighs in order to improve their contour and reduce the discomfort of the appearance generated by having this excess skin on them.

Absorbable sutures that do not require removal are used.

General anesthesia or spinal block and sedation

2 weeks. Requires relative rest for 6 weeks.

Thigh lift is usually associated with other procedures at the same time or surgical event or in separate ones. These are usually circular or circumferential tummy tuck or liposuction.

Women or men with excess skin on the thighs secondary to weight loss by sleeve or gastric bypass.
