Leg Lift

SURGERY NAME: UPPER LEG LIFT, THIGH LIFT, VERTICAL INNER THIGH LIFT, VERTICAL BODY LIFT, HORIEZONTAL THIGH LIFT

OPERATION TECHNIQUES: Operation techniques vary according to the excess and sagging skin in the upper leg area of the patient. These operations can be performed in combination or liposuction can be added to these techniques.

LIPOSUCTION The patient’s fat in the upper leg can be reduced with liposuction. After liposuction, if the patient’s skin quality is good and the amount of sagging is not high, the skin can be tightened with radio frequency. Radio frequency postoperative 1. is an energy-based device applied to the skin on the moon. If the skin quality is not good and the amount of sagging is high, a thigh lift operation should be performed.

VERTICAL INNER THIGH LIFT: A scar is formed in the form of a line descending from the patient’s groin area to the inner side of the knee. This is trace 1. It fades over the years but does not disappear. It is difficult to see because it is on the inside of the leg. The patient can be recognized while sunbathing on the beach. Excess tissue and skin on the inner side of the leg is removed as needed and liposuction is performed on the other parts of the leg. The patient is provided with upper leg thinness as desired. The only undesirable situation is the scar.

HORİZANTAL THİGH LİFT: If the amount of prolapse is not too much, only the scar that will be located in the groin will remain. The tissue in the leg is removed parallel to the groin and the skin of the leg is sutured to the groin area. The inner fascia of the leg skin is fixed to the bone area in the groin with permanent sutures. These stitches carry the load on the skin and the skin is not burdened. Since the inner leg area is moist and due to the tension in this area, opening of the sutures is more common than vertical thigh stretching. There is a possibility of enlargement of the vagina towards the sides due to the tension. This operation is applied to patients who absolutely do not want scars and do not have excessive sagging. Liposuction can be performed together with this operation.

LATERAL THIGH LIFT: This procedure is performed in patients with excess skin and subcutaneous fat tissue in the buttocks and upper leg outer area that cannot be removed by liposuction. The frequency is extremely low. The reason for this is the scar that will form on the butt and upper leg side. It is suitable for patients who say “I cannot find clothes that fit me” due to excessive fat in this area.
