Thigh Lift/Buttock Lift in Bellevue and Seattle

Who is a candidate for the thigh lift/buttock lift procedure?

Intended results of thigh lift and buttock lift

Description of thigh lift and buttock lift procedures

• A bikini line incision that goes from the back to the sides of your upper buttock area is made. Significant attention is paid to create an incision like that hides under a bikini or a g-string.
• Often liposuction is used to improve the shape and also loosen the skin. The outer thighs and buttocks are elevated and reshaped.
• Occasionally fat transfer is used to improve the quality of thigh skin and dimpling, or is used to enhance the buttocks.
• This is an outpatient procedure done under general anesthesia.

Recuperation and healing after thigh/buttock lift

• All sutures are under the skin and often time there are no drains.
• Most individuals take a week off work and resume exercise at about 4 weeks.
• The discomfort is well controlled with oral analgesics.
• The final result is often seen at about 2-3 months.

Other options besides thigh/buttock lift

• Additional procedures that may enhance the result are liposuction and buttock implants.
  
• Dr. Egrari’s extensive experiences with massive weight loss body contouring bring you the latest in thigh and buttock enhancement. Occasionally he might recommend fat transfer to enhance the lift or fill in some of the defects of previous poorly done liposuction
