Thigh Lift Berlin

During a thigh lift with the spindle-shaped incision, the soft tissues on the inside of the thigh, especially on the upper pole, can be removed and the thigh can be tightened. The great advantage of this method is the low scarring resulting from the spindle shape. This form of thigh lift results in a scar that runs across the thigh on the inside near the pubic region. The inner side of the thighs can also be tightened in this way, although not all thigh lifts can be carried out this way. A natural limit of this procedure is found with very voluminous thighs that offer so much excess skin and soft tissue that the lower parts of the thigh are not affected by the thigh lift.

The anatomy of the thigh also leaves many possibilities for complications and poor results in thigh lift procedures if the surgeon does not observe basic principles. Basically, we operate every thigh lift under magnifying glasses and in compliance with microsurgical principles. Particularly on the inside of the thighs, the thigh lift should be performed with appropriate care, so that lymphatic and blood vessels are preserved and protected. This ensures the safe removal of lymphs and blood even after the operation. A broad and, above all, microsurgical training also means safety and a high quality of results for your upcoming operation.

During a thigh lift, the excess fatty tissue and sagging skin are first marked and precisely measured. Then the marked areas are surgically removed. If possible, the incisions are made less visible so that the scars usually remain inconspicuous. In addition, targeted liposuction of adjacent areas can be performed, which further beautifies the body contour.

There are two different lift procedures for thigh lifts — a “small” lift, where the incision is between the groin and the ischium, and a “big” lift, where the incision is made vertically from the groin down to the inside of the knee.

The areas with excess fatty tissue and sagging skin are marked and measured. The thigh lift surgery is then prepared by disinfecting the relevant areas and inducing anesthesia. The use of vasoactive solutions minimizes bleeding while the skin is incised according to the pre-established procedure. The marked areas are opened and the underlying fatty tissue and excess skin flaps are then surgically removed. In addition, liposuction can be performed if necessary. The opening is then closed, and the remaining skin is tightened when the edges of the wound are sewn up. To drain off the wound fluid, drainage is applied for the first few days and then the bandage is applied.

Both before and after the procedure, your own behavior makes a significant contribution to reducing complications to a minimum and promoting wound healing. First of all, you should exhaust all possible weight loss measures before a thigh lift surgery. The result of the operation will be better the closer you are to your desired weight. In addition, any skin inflammation must be pre-treated by your dermatologist. About two weeks before the planned thigh lift, it is advisable to avoid smoking and alcohol as much as possible. The same applies to medicines, painkillers, vaccinations, sleeping pills or dietary supplements such as grape seed flour, which can have a blood-thinning effect. It would also be helpful if you start using contrast showers and continue them after the operation as soon as you are allowed to shower. This will promote wound healing, as your body and thus the wound area will be better supplied with blood. On the day of the thigh lift surgery, wash yourself thoroughly and do not use body lotions afterwards. You should also remember that you must be sober when you come to the clinic. The operating surgeon and the anesthesiologist will answer your last questions before the operation.

Immediately after thigh lift surgery, you may be required to take painkillers, which will give you the rest you need immediately after the procedure. Measures are also taken against embolism and blood clots - for example, thrombosis stockings can be put on. Also, be prepared to wear light compression with support tights for four to six weeks. This is extremely important because it promotes wound healing on the one hand and allows the scar to heal unobtrusively on the other. After about two weeks, the wound will have healed sufficiently for the stitches to be removed if necessary. However, it takes several weeks for the final healing to take place. At first you should only move carefully, avoiding excessive or jerky movements as the seams can be stretched. After about three weeks you will be more or less able to work again. And after about five weeks you can slowly start doing sports again.

During the entire healing process you will be looked after by us until the end result. We will arrange several check-ups for you, which you should definitely attend. These are important for your safety on the one hand and for a good aesthetic end result on the other.

The costs of the initial consultation always depend on the type and extent of the treatment. In principle, the scale of fees for doctors applies to the consultation hours. Thereafter, patients pay 90 € for the initial consultation with anamnesis, collection of previous findings, physical examination and preparation of a therapy and cost plan. This fee is payable once and will not be credited towards further treatment. Additional appointments and post-operative care are included in the total price of the operation and do not have to be paid separately. This is the only way to ensure a high-quality treatment with sufficient treatment time, during which we can respond to you and your specific needs. In order to ensure the success of the treatment, we have to carry out the consultation with sufficient time and care.
