Thigh Lift Surgery in Palm Harbor, FL

Understanding Thigh Lift Procedures

Thigh lift surgery, or thighplasty, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to improve the contour and appearance of the thighs by removing excess skin and tightening underlying tissues. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Isidoros Moraitis offers comprehensive thigh lift techniques for Palm Harbor and Clearwater patients.

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift Surgery

• Healthy individuals with stable body weight
• Non-smokers with realistic aesthetic expectations
• Patients with loose or sagging skin in the thigh region
• Individuals who have experienced significant weight loss

Thigh Lift Techniques

Limited Medial Thigh Lift

Addresses upper inner thigh skin with discreet incisions along the groin area, easily concealed by underwear or swimwear.

Full Medial Thigh Lift

Targets the entire inner thigh, from knee to upper thigh, with an incision running along the medial thigh area for comprehensive skin tightening.

Lateral Thigh Lift

Focuses on lateral thighs and buttocks, with incisions strategically placed at hip level to minimize visible scarring.

Surgical Procedure and Recovery

Thigh lift surgery is an outpatient procedure typically lasting 3-5 hours. Patients can expect to return to work within 10-14 days, with full recovery occurring over 4-6 weeks. Compression garments and post-operative care instructions are essential for optimal healing.

Important Considerations

• Not primarily a fat removal procedure
• Temporary activity restrictions apply
• Individual results may vary
