Thigh Lift

Cellulite and excess skin can make anyone feel self-conscious. You want to wear shorts in the summertime and dresses in the spring, but your legs are holding you back. You’ve tried cleaning up your diet and exercising more regularly. Unfortunately, your efforts haven’t given you the results you want. What can? A pdo thigh lift.

Thigh Lift: Overview

A thigh lift is a cosmetic surgery that reduces excess skin and fat to create smoother skin and more shapely thighs. You’ll gain a more proportioned lower body and the confidence you deserve.

Who’s Eligible for a Thigh Lift?

The best candidates for thigh lifts:

  • DO NOT smoke
  • DO NOT drink heavily
  • DO NOT have a serious medical condition that could increase risk of surgery
  • DO have excess fat and skin along the medial (inner) thigh
  • DO lead a generally healthy lifestyle and can stay committed to it after surgery

Thigh Lift Techniques

There are two primary types of thigh lifts: the standard outer thigh lift and the inner (medial) thigh lift. Often, a thigh lift is combined with another cosmetic procedure, such as liposuction or a butt lift, in order to achieve well-rounded slimming results. In other cases, a thigh lift is combined with a procedure like Cellfina® or ZWave to improve the appearance of cellulite on the thighs and buttocks.

Inner Thigh Lift

Also called a medial thigh lift, this is the technique Dr. Ver Halen uses 95% of the time to improve the appearance of thighs. It involves an incision along the crease of your groin and up toward the top of your leg. Unlike an outer thigh lift, a medial thigh lift does not wrap around your back from the top of your leg. Instead, Dr. Ver Halen extends the incision backwards from the bottom of your buttocks. Depending on your desired results, Dr. Ver Halen may also make a vertical incision that runs down your inner thigh toward your knee.

Outer Thigh Lift

With this technique, Dr. Ver Halen makes an incision along the crease of your groin and follows it up to where your leg meets your hip. The incision runs along your underwear line and may continue around your back if buttocks augmentation by fat transfer or implants is also being performed. That’s why it’s sometimes referred to as a lateral thigh lift.

Does a Thigh Lift Cause Scars?

Since a thigh lift requires an incision to remove excess fat and extra skin, the surgical procedure can cause scarring. The extent of scarring depends on the technique Dr. Ver Halen recommends for you, as well as your own post-surgery skin care. If there is additional sagging skin to remove from the lower portion of your thigh, a vertical incision may be necessary. For this reason, the inner (medial) thigh lift can cause a more noticeable scar on the front of your legs. The standard outer thigh lift, on the other hand, only involves an incision along your underwear line, making it easier to conceal.

Thigh Lift: The Consultation

Dr. Ver Halen is a Board-certified plastic surgeon, whose number-one priority is your health and safety. It’s important that you let him know of any concerns you have about the thigh lift procedure, so he can address them. Dr. Ver Halen and his associates are dedicated to giving you the best care possible from initial consultation to post-op appointment(s)! In addition to answering any questions, your consultation with Dr. Ver Halen will include a discussion about:

  • Your desired outcome and expectations
  • Your family medical history, as well as any existing medical conditions
  • Your current use of alcohol, tobacco products, supplements, and/or prescription drugs
  • Any known allergies
  • The use of anesthesia during a thigh lift
  • Any potential risks of the surgical procedure

Dr. Ver Halen or one of his medical associates will take photographs and detailed measurements of your lower body. After a thorough understanding of your goals and examination of the images and measurements, Dr. Ver Halen will determine which pdo thigh lift technique is most suitable for you. The photographs will be kept with your medical records, so you can very clearly see the dramatic difference in your body post-surgery!

Thigh Lift: The Procedure

Dr. Ver Halen performs thigh lift surgery at our Colleyville office or at our surgery center in Plano. You may be asked to adjust your current medications, cease smoking, and avoid taking aspirin or other over-the-counter drugs or supplements before the surgery and during recovery. Plan to have a friend or family member drive you to and from surgery. You may be in surgery for two to four hours, depending on the type of thigh lift and any other procedures being performed.  The pdo thigh lift itself will go as follows:

Step 1: Dr. Ver Halen administers anesthesia either by intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. He’ll discuss the best option for you before surgery.

Step 2: Dr. Ver Halen makes the first incision along your groin crease and either draws it up toward your hip (outer thigh lift) or follows it to the back of your thigh (inner thigh lift). If necessary, a vertical incision is made from the groin crease down to toward the knee.

Step 3: Sutures are used to support the new contours of your thighs.

Step 4: The incisions are closed with sutures, skin adhesives, or clips.

Thigh Lift: Post-Surgery Care & Recovery

You will either be cleared to leave that same day, or Dr. Ver Halen may recommend overnight care. Either way, expect to stay for a few hours post-surgery. Once you return home, proper care of your incisions will be crucial to your recovery. Additionally, some patients have small tubes placed under the thigh skin to drain excess blood and fluid. Be sure to clean these open areas and change dressings or bandages as directed by Dr. Ver Halen. Due to swelling and bruising in the first 24 hours after surgery, you will need assistance with regular daily activities. Rest is important during this time, so you don’t disrupt your incisions with excessive force or movement. About one week post-surgery, you will have a follow-up appointment with Dr. Ver Halen. Depending on your progress, he may remove your sutures and drainage tubes. Swelling and bruising should subside within one month after your pdo thigh lift. Within eight weeks, you should be able to resume exercise and begin lifting weights over five pounds.

Risks of Thigh Lift Surgery

It’s important that Dr. Ver Halen’s recommendations align with your goals. You will be asked to sign consent forms before your thigh lift surgery to ensure you fully understand the procedure and any of its risks.   Thigh lift risks include:

  • Anesthesia complications
  • Bleeding
  • Hematoma
  • Deep vein thrombosis
  • Infection
  • Loss of sensation in the thighs
  • Poor wound healing
  • Unfavorable scarring
  • Asymmetry between the legs, leading to revisional surgery
  • Remaining loose skin
  • Death of fatty tissue deep in the skin (fat necrosis)
  • Persistent discomfort

These risks will be discussed during your consultation and before consent. Dr. Ver Halen is happy to take all the time you need to address your questions and concerns.

How to Pay for Thigh Lift Surgery

Dr. Ver Halen accepts a number of payment options for thigh lift surgery, including healthcare credit cards issued by:

  • Synchrony Bank (CareCredit®)
  • Comenity® Capital Bank (Alphaeon Credit®)

You may also choose a secured loan from United Medical Credit or Enhance Patient Finance. United Medical Credit is suitable for prime and subprime lenders and has multiple plan options and flexible terms. You can also pay by:

  • Credit card
  • Cash
  • Cashier’s check
  • In-house financing
  • Other types of loans

If your diet and exercising efforts have fallen short and your thighs are not what you’d like them to be, let the professional team at Ver Halen Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery help. We will smooth and reshape your thighs, so you can feel confident in your clothes once and for all. Book your consultation today to get started.

Who still does not aspirate? 🤦‍♀️ Do not Who still does not aspirate? 🤦‍♀️ 
Do not let your length of experience get in the way of safety for your patients! 

There was a hint as to why in my story during a chin augmentation with #Defyne 

Here is a perfect demostration video by @gorgeous_bygeorge as to the importance of aspiration. Filler and coffee.....

Later I will repost my video on my blood return after aspirating....
Posted @withregram • @gorgeous_bygeorge ASPIRATION !!! These are TEN videos of all Allergan and Galderma products performing aspiration of 98.8 degree coffee. Clear needle, fresh from package, pulled back as far as each syringe would allow. My counting is SLOW! Use a timer for accuracy. Some products from BOTH lines are long aspirations be careful.

Are you tired of looking 💤? I treated her tear Are you tired of looking 💤?

I treated her tear troughs (“tired looking eyes”) with @restylaneusa

Prior to treating her tear troughs, I first addressed her cheek volume loss.

My patient has given consent for use of her photos.

👉 Of note, I FIRST treated lack of volume in her cheeks with @revanesseversa #Versa. Patient will possibly need more volume in her cheeks and tear troughs for full correction.  It is important to allow the products to settle and integrate into the tissue to avoid over correction and an over filled look.
👉  I never treat tear troughs (under eye hollowness) until after cheek volume has been addressed first. 
⁣
🤔 Why? The lower portion of the eye/tear tough area is supported by ligaments. This is directly connected with the superior portion of the cheek. Often correcting cheek volume loss and creating a positive vector, helps with darkness under the eyes. ⁣
⁣
👉 Not all hollowness or darkness under the eyes can be camouflaged with filler. It’s important to see a qualified provider who can recognize surgical vs nonsurgical cases. ⁣
⁣
👉 It is also imperative to correct cheek volume loss before addressing nasolabial folds.  Often by lifting the cheeks, you will lift and camouflage sagging skin in the nasolabial folds. ⁣

Posted @withregram • @mdcosmeticinjections ✖️LONGEVITY OF FILLER✖️
.
The pharmaceutical companies tell us injectors approximate numbers on how long different types of filler should roughly last. We then tell our patients this. However, I have certainly seen in my practice over the past 7 years that some filler can linger around WAY beyond the 9-12months we are told. Until now, we have evidence on MRI that non-permanent filler can last a lot longer than what we are told.
.
14 patients had MRI scans by @drmaster_md over 16 months. The signal of the non-permanent filler closely follows water signal and the difference between fat and filler can be identified as separate entities.
.
10/14 patients denied having non-permanent filler injected for more than 2 years at the time of MRI. All 10 patients had MRI signal detecting filler. 5 patients denied having any filler in specific locations for more than 6 years and all 5 patients had MRI signal in those specific areas. 1 patient denied having non-permanent filler in the orbital region for 12 years, and the MRI showed significant, persistent peri orbital non-permanent filler.
.
The most common reason for patients presenting was having “puffiness” in specific areas. If you present to me and say “there can’t be any filler in there, I haven’t had it for years”, please understand that I can often see/ palpate it. You might be used to seeing what you see everyday in the mirror for years. We have evidence on MRI that filler can last a lot longer in some people than others. If you want reassurance that it’s actually filler, before we go in and start dissolving, you can see @drmaster_md at his clinic.
