With advancing age the skin loses elasticity. Major weight fluctuations or pathological fat distribution disorders such as lipoedema encourage the slackening of the skin on the thighs. It becomes a problem when the inner sides of the thighs rub against each other and functional problems are added to the aesthetic ones. A thigh lift can then be the treatment of choice. There are various methods which we tailor individually to your circumstances at our practice clinic in Oldenburg. What matters to us is the method that is safest for you – in terms of wound healing and of your personal wellbeing.
The lift considerably reduces the soft tissue. The rubbing of the thighs against each other decreases noticeably and with it the physical discomfort. The incision runs on the inner sides of the thighs, similar to the seam of a pair of trousers. We carry out the procedure in combination with a liposuction in order to preserve the lymphatic and blood vessels in the area to be removed as well as possible and to remove the excess skin gently.
Precisely this procedure: the combination of liposuction and careful removal of the excess skin and soft tissue envelope. The point is to spare the lymphatic vessels and the fine nerves in order to achieve a good result with the best possible function.
The removed tissue is permanently gone. We do, however, continue to age, and where there is a weakness of the connective tissue, excess skin can form again after about 10 years. Individual weight fluctuations play a major role here.
The procedure certainly does not pass without trace. The tumescent solution we use and an individually adapted pain management plan help to prevent pain.
Wound healing problems after a thigh lift are a much-discussed subject among colleagues and at congresses. To prevent them we have refined our surgical technique so that, with the same lifting effect, the skin is relieved and exposed to less tension through a special suture technique and an internal suspension, which allows us to reduce wound healing problems significantly.
After the preliminary consultation with advice, detailed information about risks and an examination, we plan the operation together. Our aim is to respond to your wishes as well as possible before the procedure and to mark and document the course of the incision.
On the day of the operation, which we carry out in our own rooms in Oldenburg, you are scheduled in such a way that long waiting times are avoided. I will then go through what we discussed with you once more and repeat the markings. Our nursing and anaesthesia team will look after you. After the procedure we accommodate you for one night in one of our patient beds; a nurse looks after you throughout the night and I myself am close by. After the final ward round the following day you can usually leave the clinic.
The lift considerably reduces the soft tissue on the thighs, the rubbing on the inner sides decreases and the legs look visibly firmer. No other method is available that reduces the skin and soft tissue envelope to this extent. After the operation a temporary feeling of tightness can occur. Wound healing problems are more common here than with other aesthetic operations; our tissue-sparing technique reduces the risk to a minimum.
We now perform numerous thigh lifts using a novel procedure called Argo Plasma. Following liposuction, it shortens the collagen fibres so that the skin re-attaches more closely to the inner surface. We carry out this procedure hundreds of times a year, with the result that in many cases we can achieve a considerable tightening of the legs almost without a large scar.
After major weight loss, with lipoedema or with age-related slackening: which method is safest for you is decided by the findings. Arrange a consultation appointment – we will take the time for your questions.
When the skin on the thighs has slackened through age, major weight fluctuations or a pathological fat distribution disorder. It becomes a problem when the inner sides rub against each other – functional discomfort is then added to the aesthetic aspect.
On the inner sides of the thighs, similar to the seam of a pair of trousers. The course of the incision is adapted to the findings; it is marked out together before the operation.
Because the tissue can be removed gently in this way: lymphatic and blood vessels in the area to be removed are preserved as far as possible. This combination of liposuction and careful removal of skin is called a dermolipectomy.
With the thigh lift they are more common than with other aesthetic operations – a subject discussed intensively among colleagues and at congresses. We have therefore refined our technique: a special suture technique with an internal suspension relieves the skin while achieving the same lifting effect, which reduces the risk considerably.
The removed tissue is permanently gone. Where there is a weakness of the connective tissue, excess skin can form again after about 10 years; individual weight fluctuations play a major role here.
It does not pass without trace. The tumescent solution used and an individually adapted pain management plan ensure that our patients cope well with it.
As a rule yes. You spend the night in one of our patient beds, a nurse looks after you throughout the night and I am close by. After the final ward round the following day you can usually leave the clinic.
The price depends on the extent and the technique, on the combined liposuction, on the form of anaesthesia and on the overnight stay. After the first consultation you receive a fixed cost estimate.
