Medial Thigh Lift Morristown, NJ | Farhad Rafizadeh MD

What is a Thigh Lift Procedure?

A thigh lift is a surgical procedure designed to tighten skin around the inner thigh, creating a more aesthetically pleasing and contoured leg profile. Dr. Rafizadeh utilizes over 25 years of surgical expertise to produce slimmer, proportionate thighs that harmonize with a patient's overall body shape.

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift Surgery

Thigh lift surgery is most suitable for patients who meet the following criteria:

• Are in good overall health
• Have excess skin and tissue in the thigh area
• Are near their ideal body weight
• Have realistic aesthetic expectations

Surgical Approach

The thigh lift procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically involves strategic incisions in the groin area. Dr. Rafizadeh carefully places incisions to minimize visible scarring, often concealing them beneath swimwear or undergarments.

Procedure Techniques

Two primary thigh lift techniques are commonly utilized:

• Inner (Medial) Thigh Lift: Focuses on the inner thigh with minimal incisions
• Outer (Lateral) Thigh Lift: More extensive procedure potentially addressing buttock contour

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect mild bruising and swelling following the procedure. Most individuals can resume light activities within two weeks, with full physical activities permitted after four to six weeks. The results are typically visible immediately and continue to improve as healing progresses.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While thigh lift surgery is generally safe, potential risks include infection, healing complications, and fluid drainage. Selecting an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Rafizadeh and closely following post-operative instructions can significantly minimize these risks.

Maintenance of Surgical Results

Thigh lift results can be long-lasting when patients maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Significant weight fluctuations may compromise the surgical outcome and potentially require additional procedures.
