THIGH LIFT ALBUQUERQUE, NM | DR. MIGUEL L. GALLEGOS, MD

UNDERSTANDING THIGH LIFT SURGERY

Weight loss is a significant achievement, but excess skin can often
remain a challenge. For individuals who have lost substantial weight
or experienced skin laxity, a thigh lift offers a transformative
solution. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Miguel Gallegos
specializes in thighplasty procedures that remove excess skin and
create more contoured, tighter thighs.

BENEFITS OF THIGH LIFT SURGERY

 	* Removes excess skin causing chafing and discomfort
	* Improves body contour and self-confidence
	* Addresses skin laxity from weight loss or aging
	* Customized treatment plans for individual needs

CANDIDACY FOR THIGH LIFT

Ideal candidates for thigh lift surgery typically include:

 	* Individuals who have lost 100 pounds or more
	* Patients experiencing sagging skin due to aging
	* Women with significant body weight changes from pregnancy

SURGICAL APPROACHES

Dr. Gallegos offers three primary thigh lift techniques:

 	* Inner thigh lift: Targets the inner thigh area
	* Bilateral lift: Focuses on outer and front thigh regions
	* Medial lift: Addresses the upper inside thigh portion

PROCEDURE DETAILS

Thigh lift surgery typically involves general anesthesia and strategic
incisions to remove excess skin. The procedure takes approximately 2-3
hours, with careful surgical techniques to minimize scarring and
maximize aesthetic results.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients can expect a recovery period of 6-8 weeks. While some
scarring is inevitable, the improved leg contour and increased
confidence often outweigh surgical marks. Dr. Gallegos provides
comprehensive post-operative care instructions to support optimal
healing.

COMPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES

Thigh lifts can be combined with other body contouring procedures such
as tummy tucks or butt lifts for comprehensive body transformation.
During consultation, Dr. Gallegos will discuss personalized surgical
strategies to achieve your aesthetic goals.
