Thigh lift: 3 cases in before-and-after photos
This gallery shows before-and-after results of thigh lifts (thighplasty), an operation that corrects skin laxity of the thighs, common after significant weight loss.
Dr Benjamin Pulvermacker determines the appropriate technique in consultation. To understand how it proceeds, see our page devoted to the thigh lift.
How to read these thigh lift photographs
Look at the inner thighs, from the front and in three-quarter view: this is where the skin slackens after weight loss, to the point of forming folds. Compare how even the outline is between groin and knee, and the space between the thighs when standing.
The scar most often lies in the groin; when the excess is large, it extends along the inner thigh down to the knee. Its quality is the main concern of the operation, which is why smoking must stop before and after. Significant swelling may persist for several weeks: the final result is judged between three and six months.
Frequently asked questions
Are the photographs real results?
Yes. All the photographs shown are of patients operated on by Dr Pulvermacker and are published with their written consent.
Will my result be the same?
No. Every morphology, every skin quality and every process of healing is different: these images illustrate individual results.
