Thigh lift surgery (thighplasty) is a body contouring procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the inner and outer thighs. The surgery creates smoother, more proportionate thigh contours by tightening loose skin and eliminating stubborn fat deposits that don't respond to diet and exercise.
At NG Plastic Surgery Centre, Dr. Neel Gupta performs different types of thigh lifts including inner thigh lifts, outer thigh lifts, and bilateral thighplasty, depending on your specific needs and goals.
Individuals who have lost significant weight (40+ pounds) often develop excess thigh skin that creates discomfort and aesthetic concerns. Patients in Ahmedabad who've undergone bariatric surgery or achieved major weight loss through diet and exercise frequently benefit from thigh lift surgery.
Women experiencing thigh skin laxity after pregnancy, especially multiple pregnancies, may be excellent candidates. The hormonal changes and weight fluctuations during pregnancy can affect thigh skin elasticity permanently.
Some individuals naturally develop loose thigh skin or disproportionate thigh contours due to genetics. These patients often benefit significantly from professional thigh contouring in Ahmedabad.
Patients experiencing natural skin laxity due to aging, particularly those 45+ years old, may find thigh lift surgery restores more youthful thigh contours.
