To see how Dr. Glat has helped others like you, visit our thigh lift before and after photo gallery. Dr. Glat also performs custom body contouring, including thigh lift surgery, for men.
The goal of body contouring is to enhance the natural shape of your body. Liposuction is an effective treatment if you only need excess fat removed from the upper and inner thighs. A thigh lift performed if you have two cosmetic issues with their legs – excess fat and loose, sagging skin.
Weight loss is the most common reason that people have loose skin on their thighs. The skin is stretched as a result of extra pounds, and a reduced elasticity means that the skin is unable to re-contour to the underlying muscle after shedding weight.
A successful thigh lift surgery, to achieve exceptional results, requires the help of an experienced plastic surgeon who will determine the best technique for your individual needs. When you meet with Dr. Glat during your consultation for your thigh lift in Philadelphia, he examines your thighs and works with you to craft a treatment plan that is most appropriate for the condition of your upper legs.
After your surgery, you will see some results of your thigh lift, but you will not see full results until all swelling has subsided. The most important part of your recovery is rest and limiting your activities as advised by Dr. Glat. You may have some discomfort, bruising, tenderness, and other symptoms. Dr. Glat may prescribe pain medication to help stay comfortable during the early phase of healing.
The Incisions are placed in locations where the resulting scars are barely noticeable and are hidden when wearing underwear or swimsuit bottoms. The incisions allow Dr. Glat to remove fatty deposits and tighten the skin to restore a healthy, firm, sculpted look to your thighs. Excess hanging skin is removed, and the incisions closed.
When you decide to undergo plastic surgery, your surgery must be performed by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon to ensure outstanding results. Dr. Paul Glat is a leading plastic surgeon practicing in the Philadelphia area, known for achieving exceptional results with custom thigh lift surgeries. Beyond his advanced skills and techniques, his offices are warm, inviting, and created to provide a superior patient experience, from start to finish.
Like other body contouring procedures, a thigh lift helps you achieve aesthetic improvements that are difficult to impossible with diet and exercise alone. If you are interested in a thigh lift after you have lost a large amount of weight, Dr. Glat may recommend other procedures for a more comprehensive post-bariatric body contouring treatment plan.
A thigh lift is not a weight-loss treatment. You should be in good health and practice good eating and exercise habits. Call our Bala Cynwyd plastic surgery office today to learn more about thigh lifts and schedule your consultation with Dr. Glat.
