Cosmetic surgery of the thighs

The beauty of the thighs is a very common concern in cosmetic surgery of the lower limbs.

Too fat, too thin, not muscular enough, with padded or wrinkled skin or with saddlebags, thighs can be a source of many complexes. Thighs can be affected by aging, with skin that is wrinkled, less elastic or even hanging.

Weight variations (weight gain or weight loss) are the other major cause of thigh complexes. Some people are so affected that they no longer dare to wear a skirt or shorts and even less so a bathing suit. In extreme cases, excess fat or skin can make it difficult to play sports or even to exercise.

This information sheet was written by Dr. ABBOU and Dr. PESSIS who are plastic surgeons in Paris. Dr. ABBOU and Dr. PESSIS are specialized in cosmetic surgery and regularly perform aesthetic surgery of the thighs and legs.

Before the surgery

Process of the operation

Your plastic surgeon will advise you on the treatment best suited to your case during your medical consultation. The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia.

There are two possible treatments:

  • If the skin is firm and you wish to reduce the volume of the thighs, liposuction of the thighs is the ideal solution with relatively simple after-effects and minimal scars. An anticoagulant treatment is prescribed as a preventive measure for 15 days after the procedure.
  • If there is sagging skin and excess skin, liposuction will not be sufficient and may even worsen the aesthetics of the thighs. This is why your plastic surgeon will suggest a thigh lift: the thigh lift allows the removal of excess fat and excess skin (thigh skin) on the inner side of the thigh.
