Surgical Techniques
VASER-Assisted Thigh Lift
The VASER-assisted thigh lift combines traditional thigh lift surgery with advanced ultrasound technology to remove fat more precisely. VASER technology breaks down fat cells while preserving surrounding tissues, making it easier to remove fat smoothly. This technique allows Dr. Marosan to sculpt your thighs more effectively, enhancing muscle definition and providing a tighter, more contoured result. VASER-assisted thigh lifts are ideal for patients seeking refined results with minimal tissue damage and a faster recovery.
Power-Assisted Thigh Lift
The power-assisted thigh lift uses specialized tools that gently vibrate to break down fat cells, making fat removal more efficient. This method allows for greater control and precision during surgery, enabling Dr. Marosan to achieve more consistent and smooth results. Power-assisted liposuction (PAL) is used in conjunction with the thigh lift to target and remove stubborn fat deposits, enhancing the overall contour of the thighs. This technique is particularly effective for patients with larger volumes of thigh fat.
Visualize Your Results
With Vectra 3D technology at Bellevue Plastic Surgeons, you can visualize your thigh lift results before surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Marosan captures precise 3D images of your thighs. These images are then used to create a virtual model, allowing you to see how the procedure can enhance your contours. You can explore different options and adjustments, ensuring you have a clearer vision of your post-surgery results.
During Surgery
Dr. Marosan administers intravenous sedation for your comfort. He makes precise incisions along your inner thighs and carefully removes excess skin and fat.
Depending on your needs, Dr. Marosan may use VASER-assisted or power-assisted liposuction (PAL) to contour your thighs further. The remaining skin is then tightened, and incisions are closed to minimize scarring. Dr. Marosan focuses on achieving a balanced, natural-looking result, ensuring that your thighs are smoother and more proportionate to your overall body shape.
After Surgery
You may experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which are normal side effects. Dr. Marosan will provide detailed post-operative care instructions, including wearing a compression garment to reduce swelling and support healing.
You’ll likely need to rest for a few days and gradually resume light activities within 1-2 weeks. Most of the swelling subsides within 4-6 weeks, and the full results appear as your body continues to heal over the next few months.
Frequently Asked
Questions
How Long Do the Results of a Thigh Lift Last?
The results of a thigh lift are long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. While the natural aging process will continue, the improvements in contour and firmness achieved through surgery can be enjoyed for many years.
Will I Have Visible Scars?
Yes, scarring is a part of any surgical procedure. Dr. Marosan carefully places incisions in areas that can be easily concealed, such as the inner thigh, to ensure minimal visibility. With proper care, scars typically fade and become less noticeable over time.
How Soon Can I Return to Work?
Most patients can return to work within 1-2 weeks, depending on the nature of their job and the extent of the surgery. If your job involves strenuous physical activity, you may need additional time to recover. Dr. Marosan will determine when you’re cleared to return to work.
When Can I Start Exercising Again?
You should avoid strenuous exercise for at least 6-8 weeks after surgery. Light walking is encouraged early in your recovery to promote circulation, but more intense activities should be resumed only with Dr. Marosan’s approval.
