If you have lost a significant amount of weight and have excess, loose skin in the upper leg and hip area, or if you are displeased with the shape of your thighs, you could be a candidate for a thigh lift. The procedure goes one step further than liposuction to improve the contours of your thighs, removing not only thigh fat, but also excess skin.
After losing almost 100 pounds in my forties, I was left with pendulous breasts, a large panniculus and saggy thighs. Dr. Wendel was able to perform a breast lift (without implants), a body lift, liposuction, and a medial thighplasty. The outward transformation has been incredible; the inward transformation even greater. I cannot express how truly grateful I am that I was able to have Dr. Wendel as my surgeon and would recommend him so very highly.

Many times, these candidates are also unhappy with the shape of their thighs, which happen to be dimpled, flabby or saggy too. This is different than thigh liposuction because it goes one step further, in that it not only removes thigh fat, but also removed excess skin that is getting in the way.
Different types of thigh lifts are available:
Dr. Wendel will perform inner or outer thigh lift in Nashville using anesthesia in a fully accredited surgical facility. To begin the procedure, Dr. Wendel will move the patient on their side to allow for sufficient access to the fat on the back of the thighs. He will make a surgical incision in the inner or outer thigh region to remove and drape the excess sagging skin. Liposuction may also be performed in the fatty areas to improve the thigh contours. Dr. Wendel will suture the incision and go over your recovery instructions in order to minimize any discomfort.
