Thigh Lift in Annapolis by D. Paul Buhrer, MD
Thigh Lift Surgery in Annapolis
Reshape Your Legs with a Thigh Lift
Are you looking to achieve tighter, more toned legs? A thigh lift procedure at D. Paul Buhrer, MD in Annapolis can help you attain the shapely legs you desire. Patients choose thigh lift surgery for various reasons, including:
- Weight loss following pregnancy, diet, or gastric bypass surgery
- Age-related changes
- Shifts in body composition
- Genetic factors
If diet and exercise have not provided the leg contours you want, a thigh lift can firm and reshape your thighs to be more proportionate with the rest of your body.
What is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin from the upper legs, resulting in smoother, more shapely thighs. Unlike liposuction which targets fat removal, a thigh lift addresses skin laxity along the inner and/or outer thigh. In some cases, the two procedures may be combined for optimal results.
Your Thigh Lift Consultation in Annapolis
To determine if you're a good candidate for a thigh lift, schedule a consultation with Dr. D. Paul Buhrer at our Annapolis office. During your visit, you'll discuss:
- Your goals and desired outcomes
- Medical history and lifestyle factors
- Areas of concern on your thighs
Dr. Buhrer will examine your thighs and develop a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
The Thigh Lift Procedure
Thigh lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia at our state-of-the-art surgical center in Annapolis. The procedure is typically completed on an outpatient basis. Incision placement and size depend on the treatment areas and amount of skin to be removed. Dr. Buhrer takes care to place incisions where they can be concealed by clothing and swimwear when possible.
Recovery and Results
Most patients require 1-2 weeks for initial recovery following a thigh lift. You'll notice smoother, tighter contours immediately, though some swelling and bruising is normal. Many patients return to normal activities within two weeks and resume exercise routines after 4-6 weeks.
Risks and Considerations
As with any surgery, there may be some post-operative discomfort for a few days, which can be managed with prescribed medication. Dr. Buhrer will discuss all potential risks and address any concerns during your consultation.
