Due to gravity, aging and excessive weight gain and loss, loosening and sagging of the skin in the upper leg area may occur. These sagging and even wrinkles can occur, especially in the upper-inner leg(groin)region where the skin is thin. It is noticeable and disturbing in the vicinity. It can prevent a person from wearing swimsuits and bikinis, leading to loss of self-confidence. Excessive fat deposits, which can also be located in the same area, cause the hygiene and comfort of life to deteriorate due to the inner legs rubbing together. is removed. When a full leg lift is requested, scars at the butt level are usually visible. The best approach would be to recommend circumferential stretching to the patient in cases where it is very necessary. However, the situation is different on the inner side of the thigh. Fat deposits in this area can be removed by liposuction to correct the inner leg contour. This method is easy and leaves no trace, but it should be applied sparingly and carefully on the inner leg, which is already thin and prone to loosening. If the fat tissue here is effectively eliminated and a smooth and tight leg contour is aimed, then thigh lift surgery should be planned. is carried out below. In thigh lift surgery, skin and fat tissues are removed in an ellipse shape through an incision made towards the back, 4-5 mm inside the groin fold. If the excess skin is excessive, an incision extending down the back of the leg may need to be added. This decision is discussed with the patient before the surgery and the decision is made together.
The most important technical detail of the surgery is the secure suturing of the subcutaneous tissues to the fascia under the groin fold. The upper leg skin is released and stitched to the groin area with dissolvable stitches. Drains are placed to collect blood and body fluids that may accumulate inside, and these are removed the next day. I make each patient wear a special corset for 3 weeks after the surgery. This ensures that the patient has a comfortable and safe post-operative period. Restrict daily activities for 1 week. It is desired to be believed. At the end of the surgery, the scars will remain in the panties. Activities such as sports can be started after 6 weeks.
In this surgery, wound healing problems may occur since the suture line is in an area that is naturally moist and prone to contamination, such as the groin area. It may be possible to avoid this with clean wound care. These problems will resolve within a few weeks with dressings.
Since the incision line is located in the thin skin a few mm inside the groin line, it can be hidden in underwear from the first moment and eventually usually It turns into indistinct scars that do not bother the patient.
One of the welcomed results of this surgery is the removal of the skin in the groin area, which is quite dark in some people. The hairy area in the groin will also disappear with the excess skin removed.
