Thigh Lift in Oklahoma City, OK
Bajaj Plastic Surgery
If you have lost a significant amount of weight or have excess skin and fat along your thighs, you may wish to consider a thigh lift with plastic surgeon Dr. Anureet Bajaj. A thigh lift can help slim the thighs and contour them for a more balanced, proportional shape.
As we age, gravity inevitably takes its toll, causing the skin on the thighs to wrinkle and droop. In other cases, excess skin on the thighs may result from significant weight loss. A thigh lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to create leaner, more sculpted upper legs.
During this procedure, loose skin is removed, and the remaining skin is pulled taut. Liposuction may also be performed at the same time to enhance the overall contour.

Eligible Candidates for a Thigh Lift
If you are relatively healthy with loose or sagging skin around the thighs, you may be a suitable candidate for a thigh lift. You may still have excess skin. In addition, it is possible to combine a thigh lift with other procedures. It can be combined with procedures such as a tummy tuck, liposuction, or as a part of a lower body lift procedure for those looking to correct skin laxity on multiple regions of the body. If you wish to know what body contouring procedures you may be a candidate for, please contact our office and schedule a consultation with Dr. Bajaj.
Why Choose Dr. Bajaj for Your Thigh Lift?

Her honesty with her patients helps guide them toward making decisions without pressure. Her passion for aesthetic care stems from a deep desire to help patients make life-changing decisions that affect how they see and feel about themselves and how they present themselves to the world.
We are an office of women who understand the insecurities and importance surrounding the appearance of your body. When undergoing any procedure, we believe in preparing our patients for their surgery to help ensure safety, optimize their recovery, and lend to loved and lasting results. To help prepare patients, a nutritional plan will be created both before and after their surgery, a proactive pain and nausea management schedule will be carefully implemented, as well as our own personal testimonials from undergoing body procedures.
Inner Thigh Lift
To begin the inner thigh lift procedure, Dr. Bajaj will make careful incisions along the inside of the thigh, from the groin to the knee. At this point, Dr. Bajaj may also use liposuction surgery to remove deposits of fat on and around the thighs. This will lead to optimal smoothing of the thighs. Once Dr. Bajaj has removed any troublesome fat from the thighs, she will then work on removing the loose skin and tissues that cause the thighs to appear overly large or saggy. She will then tighten the remaining tissues and close the incisions with sutures, creating a more toned look. The incisions will then be covered with a surgical dressing, and a compression garment will be applied.
Usual Recovery Time for a Thigh Lift
After surgery, you will need someone to drive you home and stay with you for the first 24 hours. You may have swelling and bruising following surgery. During the recovery process, it will be important for you to walk and maintain your nutrition. This will help to speed up the recovery stage by improving circulation throughout the body and reduce the risk of blood clots from forming. If you have drains, Dr. Bajaj will remove the drains within 2-5 days after surgery, and you will need to wear the compression garment for 4-6 weeks. If you have any questions or concerns during this time, should contact our office and speak with one of our knowledgeable and helpful members of staff.
Thigh Lift Results
Following surgery, it may take 2-3 weeks for the bruising and swelling to resolve. And while the most significant decrease in swelling will also be in this timeframe, you may continue to notice subtle improvements for several months. Your scars will fade with time. The reduction of excess skin and fat will also be long-term, especially when maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle.
