What is Thigh Lift?

Thigh lift surgery will remove excess fat and skin that you may have, giving you the nicely sculpted thighs you have always desired.

The thighs are one of the primary locations where fat and cellulite accumulate. Dieting and exercise may help you reverse some of this, but it will not eliminate stubborn pockets of fat and stretched skin.

What’s The First Step?

If you’re interested in getting a Thigh Lift in Newport Beach with Dr. Sundine, the first step is to schedule a consultation. We will discuss your medical history, lifestyle, and your expectations regarding your surgery. Before a Thigh Lift, we ask that you stop taking medications that increase bleeding. These include aspirin, specific supplements, and anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen. Dr. Sundine will also ask for a medical evaluation to ensure you’re a good candidate for this type of surgery. Once he has collected all of the information he needs, Dr. Sundine will create your surgical plan, and our Patient Coordinator will help you choose your procedure date.

What to Expect on the Day of Thigh Lift

When performing thigh lift surgery, Dr. Sundine focuses on removing any excess fat and sagging skin. The thigh lift surgery technique and incision location that he chooses to use will depend on which part of the thigh needs to be reshaped.

An inner thigh lift involves incisions in the groin fold.
A vertical thigh lift involves an incision that starts at the groin crease and extends down to the knee.
Outer thigh lift requires an incision that starts at the groin and extends around the hip to correct sagging of the outer and mid-thigh.

During the procedure, excess skin is removed and the remaining skin and tissue are lifted and sutured in place. The surgery may be combined with liposuction to remove excess fat.

The surgery is performed at an accredited outpatient surgical center under general anesthesia. In some cases, several surgery techniques are combined for the best results. The length of surgery greatly depends on your treatment plan and the complexity of the procedure.

Recovery

The good news with procedures like thigh lifts and arm lifts is that the results are visible right away. After the surgery, you will experience bruising, swelling, and soreness for a few days. These are minimized with pain medication, bandages, and proper at-home aftercare. The swelling generally subsides over a period of three to five weeks. Gauze is used to cover the incisions to keep them safe and dry. Full recovery is achieved within six weeks of surgery. During this period, Dr. Sundine will be at your disposal at all times to answer your questions and guide you through the healing process.

Real Reviews

What I really like about Dr. Sundine is his vast experience and training. I also like the fact he did not try to sell me other procedures. He is also very down to earth and easy to talk to. I am very satisfied with the results and I highly recommend him.

After much research and multiple visits to other surgeons, I knew right away that Dr. Sundine was the perfect choice for me. I felt completely confident in his ability from the first visit to the last. I have been singing his praises to all of my friends and will recommend him to anyone searching for a plastic surgeon. Thanks, Dr. Sundine

Dr. Sundine is an excellent plastic surgeon! I have been using his services for almost 5 years. If you want to look years younger and fully refreshed I highly recommend that you use his services. Patients walk out looking naturally gorgeous, not overdone like some of the women in Orange County!

Dr. Sundine is the best plastic surgeon. Dr. Sundine’s excellent skills and knowledge has made my surgery turn out so well. But more importantly, it made me feel better about myself. Again, thank you Dr. Sundine for all you have done for me. You are the best surgeon!

I gave Dr. Sundine the highest possible review in each category because he truly deserved the highest reviews on every level. I am a very well recognized lawyer on the West Coast. My firm has spent millions of dollars on television advertising in which I appear. I could not afford to have a bad facelift or even for people to notice I had a facelift at all. I interviewed many physicians including some of the “celebrity” physicians. Ultimately, I chose Dr. Sundine.
