Thigh Lift in Mexico
Thigh Lift
A thigh lift — or thighplasty — removes excess skin and fat from the inner thigh to restore firm, contoured legs. It is the definitive solution when skin laxity exceeds what liposuction alone can address.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, lasts 2.5 to 4 hours, and is most often combined with liposuction. Most patients spend 1 to 2 nights in hospital.
Who is a good candidate?
Adults with significant inner-thigh skin laxity, especially after weight loss, in good general health, non-smokers (or able to stop), with stable weight for at least 6 months. Severe varicose veins should be addressed before surgery.
Expected results
The thighs are firm and contoured. Inner-thigh chafing is eliminated. The result is permanent with stable weight. Trade-off: a visible scar — horizontal in the groin (mini) or vertical along the inner thigh (full).
Mini vs Vertical Thighplasty
Two main techniques, depending on the location and severity of skin excess:
1. Mini thigh lift (horizontal scar)
Scar in the groin crease only. Suitable for upper-third skin laxity. More discreet scar but more limited correction.
2. Vertical thighplasty
Scar along the inner thigh from groin to knee. For massive-weight-loss patients with full-length skin redundancy. The trade-off for a comprehensive result.
Incisions & Scars
Argaman Plastic Surgeries Mexico uses layered tension-free closure with anchoring of the dermis to Colles' fascia (Lockwood technique) to prevent scar migration into the visible groin area. Scar gel and silicone sheeting are used for 3 months.
