Thigh Lift in Warrendale, PA | ReNova Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat tissue and skin rolls resulting from dramatic weight loss, aging, pregnancy, or other factors. ReNova Plastic Surgery offers comprehensive body contouring solutions for patients in the Warrendale and greater Pittsburgh area.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Thigh Lift Surgery?

Ideal candidates for thigh lift surgery are individuals who:

• Have experienced significant weight loss
• Struggle with loose or sagging skin in the thigh area
• Are in good overall health
• Maintain a stable body weight
• Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Thigh Lift Procedure Details

ReNova Plastic Surgery performs thigh lift procedures under general anesthesia in an accredited, state-certified facility. The surgery typically takes 3-4 hours and is conducted as an outpatient procedure. Surgical techniques are customized based on individual patient needs and treatment goals.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect a substantial recovery process involving swelling, bruising, and temporary discomfort. Most patients require at least one week of complete rest, with full recovery taking several weeks. Exercise and intense physical activities can usually be resumed after approximately one month.

Potential Procedure Complications

As with any surgical procedure, thigh lift surgery carries potential risks, including:

• Seroma (fluid collection)
• Chronic leg and thigh swelling
• Low risk of infection (<1%)
• Minimal bleeding risk (<1%)
• Potential recurrence of skin laxity

Cost Considerations

Thigh lift procedures in the Pittsburgh region typically range from $5,000 to $12,000. Costs vary depending on surgical complexity, geographic location, and individual patient requirements. ReNova Plastic Surgery offers financing options to make the procedure more accessible.

Maintaining Your Thigh Lift Results

While thigh lift results can be long-lasting, maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle is crucial for preserving surgical outcomes. Patients are encouraged to follow post-operative guidance and maintain consistent diet and exercise habits.
