Thigh Lift Before & After Case 85

This patient, a 50-year-old woman, came to us seeking relief from the discomfort and physical changes related to lipedema. She struggled with persistent fullness in her legs and hips that did not respond to diet or exercise. After discussing her goals and medical history, we developed a surgical plan to address both the excess fat and the loose skin affecting her mobility and comfort.

We began with liposuction to her legs and hips, targeting the areas affected by lipedema. This formed the first step in improving her silhouette and alleviating her symptoms. After healing from liposuction, she underwent an extended spiral thigh lift and knee lift. These procedures allowed us to remove the remaining excess skin and further refine the contour of her lower body. Our patient experienced a smooth recovery and expressed satisfaction with both her surgical results and the increased comfort in her daily life.

We often see patients exploring a Thigh Lift in order to reshape the legs after significant weight changes or in the case of lipedema. When combined with liposuction and body lift techniques, this approach can achieve a more consistent result, particularly for those facing disproportionate fat deposits and skin laxity.

At our Atlanta practice, we focus on understanding each patient’s goals and developing a personalized treatment plan. My background as a former firefighter and paramedic shapes the way I value patient safety and open communication. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, I utilize the latest surgical techniques and prioritize education and support throughout the process, especially for complex cases like lipedema.
