If you are considering a Thigh Lift?
Buttock and Thigh
Lift is a procedure that can have dramatic results. It gives
you the appearance of a tighter more attractive thigh and
buttock skin, it improves the overall shape and contour of
your upper legs and buttocks, and decreases the irregularities
in the skin surface which will leave you with less saggy,
orange peel dimpling appearance. Overall results vary but,
If you are self conscious about the appearance of your lower
body, and feel it is out of proportion and saggy in comparison
to the rest of your shape this procedure is a chance to regain
a more youthful slimmer appearance.
The best candidate for a Thigh Lift.
The best candidates
for a thigh lift are women who are looking for improvement,
not perfection, in the way they look. If you're physically
healthy and realistic in your expectations, you may be a good
candidate.

experienced a loss of skin elasticity of the thigh, hip,
or buttock areas. |
| • If your skin
area is saggy, has an orange peel, flabby and/or dimpled
appearance. |

appearance improves dramatically when you lift the lax
skin. |

Thigh Lift surgery.
The procedure is performed
under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis unless otherwise
advised by the Dr. Asaadi. Dr. Asaadi will show you what procedures
are available to solve your particular problem. Wide variations
in the design of the incisions to meet clothing or personal
desires are possible. Lifting the inner thighs requires only
short incisions extending from the anterior part of the groin
around to the buttock crease. Lateral or anterior thigh lifts
can be performed as separate procedures if desired. Lifting
the entire thigh and buttock (circumferential lower body lift)
will require much longer incisions that start in the buttock
crease, extend around the groin, up over the side of abdomen,
over the flank and across back.
Dr. Asaadi will give
you specific instructions on how to prepare for surgery, including
guidelines on eating and drinking, smoking, and taking or
avoiding vitamins, iron tablets, and certain medications.
If you develop a cold or an infection of any kind, especially
a skin infection, your surgery may have to be postponed. Though
it is rarely necessary, your doctor may recommend that you
have blood drawn ahead of time in case it is needed during
surgery. Also, while you are making preparations, be sure
to arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure
and, if needed, to help you at home for a day or two.
After Thigh Lift surgery.
After surgery, the
patient is placed in a compression garment (similar to a long-line
elastic support girdle) at the end of surgery to reduce swelling
and assist in the natural shrinking and tightening of the
skin. For smaller thigh lifts initial discomfort is usually
easily controlled with prescription pain medication. Larger
thigh lifts may require one or two nights care in a skilled
nursing facility is usually required. This allows for pain
injections, intravenous catheters, etc. Bruising and swelling
usually subside within a month, strenuous activities are usually,
possible in 6 weeks and almost all symptoms are gone in 4-6
months.
Dr. Asaadi and his staff will be happy to discuss this procedure with you. Please feel free to call for a private consultation or Schedule an appointment online @ either our New York or New Jersey offices. |
