Inner thigh reduction

BODY PROCEDURES

INNER Thigh reduction

An inner thigh reduction is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fatty tissue from the legs to reduce volume and tighten the skin.

It is generally suited to individuals who have lost a lot of weight (either following a bariatric procedure or diet and exercise) and have loose tissue on their inner thighs.  In mild cases, liposuction alone can help, but most patients require removal of some loose skin and fat from the inner thigh in combination with liposuction. Patients who have had a big weight loss require an extended incision down the length of the thigh, down to the knee.

I can advise which technique will be appropriate for you during a consultation.

Risks & complications

All invasive surgical procedures have a degree of post-operative pain or discomfort.

Infection in the wound with resultant redness, pain and possible discharge.

Although rare, suture lines may come apart requiring prolonged dressings and secondary surgery.

Possible bleeding in the wound with swelling or bruising and possible blood stained discharge.

Very rarely a blood transfusion is required and a return to the operating room to evacuate the clot.

Delayed wound healing above the expected time can require prolonged dressings and convalescence.

Secretions may accumulate in the lungs causing a chest infection.

Clotting may occur in the deep veins of the leg or pelvis, and rarely the clot may break off and go to the lungs (embolism).

Circulation problems to the heart or brain may occur and may result in a heart attack or stroke.

Some of these complications may necessitate a prolonged hospital stay and return to the operating theatre for corrective surgery either immediately or some time after surgery.

Death is possible during or after an operation due to severe complications.
