About the service

A thigh lift is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting their shape and contour. This effect is achieved by eliminating excess skin and, in some cases, fat.

There are several correction methods. The choice of surgical method depends on the individual characteristics of the body and the desired result.

Plastic surgeon

Features of femoroplasty

This procedure is performed in various areas, including the inner and outer thighs, as well as the area around the knee joints. Main indications:

  • Significant changes in the thigh area due to weight loss
  • Problems with skin structure and elasticity caused by aging (sagging legs)
  • Friction and discomfort caused by excess skin folds
  • Unsuccessful liposuction leading to sagging skin
  • Manifestations of cellulite, formation of ptosis and “ears” on the hips

Surgery to tighten loose skin on the legs allows you to achieve not only an aesthetic effect. In some cases, it helps to significantly improve walking comfort - in particular, femoroplasty helps improve the general condition of the skin.

Contraindications

During pregnancy and lactation, a woman’s body undergoes significant changes. Therefore, these periods are not suitable for femoroplasty.

People with serious heart or kidney disease should also be careful. Acute infections in the body increase the likelihood of complications after surgery. Problems with blood clotting often provoke the appearance of blood clots.

Femoroplasty techniques

Femoroplasty requires careful diagnosis and planning.

Depending on the characteristics of a particular clinical case, the surgeon offers various thigh lift techniques.

Main types of femoroplasty:

  • Internal cut method This approach is appropriate when it is necessary to eliminate moderate skin ptosis on the inner thigh.
  • Spiral technique This is a more radical correction method. With this technique, significant excess skin can be effectively eliminated by redistributing the tissue around the thigh.
  • Vertical lift This technique is preferable for cases with pronounced sagging skin, especially in the inner thigh area.
  • Combined approach Combining elements of various techniques, it is used to solve particularly complex or voluminous problems - for example, to eliminate ptosis (pathology is drooping or sagging skin on the thighs).

General information about the procedure

Preoperative preparation

Preparation for a thigh lift includes complex diagnostic procedures. This stage is extremely important because it ensures the safety of the surgical intervention and contributes to a faster recovery after it.

In order to identify diseases that can affect the surgical process and subsequent recovery, the doctor refers the patient to:

  • Clinical and biochemical blood tests
  • Urine analysis

To obtain a complete picture of the state of the cardiovascular system, the patient is prescribed an ECG, CT scan or chest x-ray. Additionally, ultrasound examination of blood vessels is performed. This is especially important to identify risks associated with anesthesia and the surgery itself. It is also recommended to consult with a therapist and (if necessary) a cardiologist and phlebologist.

One of the key stages of preparation for surgery is the purchase of compression garments. Wearing it helps reduce the risk of thrombosis during the rehabilitation stage.

All medical reports and recommendations must be in writing, as they serve as official confirmation of readiness for surgery. If a person is taking any medications, be sure to inform the doctor. He will tell you whether you can drink them before the intervention and during rehabilitation.

How is the operation performed?

Before choosing a method of surgical intervention, the doctor analyzes the condition of the skin and the characteristics of the subcutaneous fat layer. He also evaluates muscle structure, blood supply, innervation and individual characteristics of tissue structure.

Before the operation, general anesthesia is performed. If there are appropriate indications, the process begins with liposuction. Next, the plastic surgeon makes incisions along predetermined lines, the choice of which is determined by the specific surgical method.

Having gained access, the doctor removes excess soft tissue, then tightens and fixes it. After all manipulations are completed, the incisions are sutured and compression garments (shorts) are applied to the patient’s thighs.

Recovery

In the first 48 hours after surgery, due to the impact on large areas, the patient experiences pain, which is accompanied by swelling. At this stage, the key focus is on monitoring him. This is why many clinics recommend inpatient treatment - in the clinic you can get high-quality care and timely pain relief.

Compression shorts help speed up the healing process, stabilize blood circulation and reduce swelling and bruising. Also, such underwear supports the fabrics in the required position. They need to be worn for 1 – 1.5 months after surgery. Then they need to be worn from time to time.

A week after the operation, you must visit the surgeon for an examination. The stitches after surgery become less noticeable within six months.

One of the key recommendations for the rehabilitation period is to avoid serious physical activity. Maintaining a calm lifestyle promotes rapid tissue recovery and prevents possible complications.

The process of gluteoplasty

The operation itself takes from 1.5 to 2 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes a neat incision, creates a space for the implant and installs it. The operation is completed with a cosmetic external suture.

After surgery, the patient is under the supervision of medical personnel to monitor the recovery process.

I was admitted to the clinic with carcinoma. I am happy that I ended up in the hands of Ivan Aleksandrovich. A very competent, attentive to the patient, and most importantly - an honest doctor. I received answers to all my questions and was offered several options for subsequent plastic surgery. The doctor came personally for dressings, after discharge I could always ask questions at subsequent dressings. If you have a choice and have the opportunity to go to Ivan Aleksandrovich - know that you are in reliable and good hands.

I had surgery in this clinic with Mitoyan Ruzanna Yesaievna, the doctor made an impression from the first appointment. During the consultation, everything was explained in detail about how it goes, what is needed for the operation to take place, and what recovery is like. I received very competent answers to all my questions, I compare with other clinics where I consulted, they wanted to impose such a feeling more than anything else. I really liked her delicacy, attentiveness, charge with calm and confidence. On February 22, 2024, I had upper blepharoplasty, the operation went perfectly, the postoperative period was easy, I followed all the recommendations and no problems arose, there were almost no bruises or swelling and everything healed very quickly. I want to express my deep gratitude to you for your professionalism and light hand! I was delighted with my eyes! It’s been a long time since my look has been so fresh and not overweight. And another miracle that you did - you saved all my colored permanent makeup on my eyelids!

Many thanks to Galina Telnova. Great professional. In December 23, I had my eyes done (bottom, top), I was terribly afraid that my appearance would change, that something would go wrong. Everything went perfectly. Attentive nurses. Galina Sergeevna inspires with calmness and confidence. Very grateful. I like myself very much. If I decide to undergo any more plastic surgery, only go to Galina Sergeevna Telnova.

I had breast shape correction and abdominoplasty done at K+31. After the operation, I spent only 3 days in the ward, after which I went home and recovered at home. I waited about two months for complete healing. The clinic (West) has excellent staff, friendly attitude

Many thanks to plastic surgeons K+31! All my life I suffered from back pain due to the constant load on the spine... Finally, at the age of 45, I decided to have a breast reduction. Within a week, the swelling went down and I finally had small breasts. The rehabilitation period passed as quickly as possible and without complications.

The augmentation was done in early autumn with round Mentor implants. I wanted to achieve the maximum effect and I was right. The breasts are firm, soft and beautiful, the seams are not visible. +100 to confidence. If you want a more natural effect, the doctor may suggest teardrop-shaped implants.

I contacted Dr. Ruzana Mitoyan about intimate plastic surgery (resection of the labia minora), the result exceeded all my expectations, I was afraid of pain and disappointment from the final result, but everything is fine, even better than I expected! The doctor was in touch, the rehabilitation period was easy.

Ruzanna Yesaievna made the most pleasant impression on me even during the consultation. She explained everything in detail about the operation, anesthesia options, and rehabilitation. After the consultation, we set a date for the surgery. The operation itself went well, there were no complications. Although I planned to spend the night under observation, I went home because I felt good. It is now 9 days after surgery. There was no pain from the word at all, not a single seam came apart. Now the healing is progressing at its own pace, without causing me any discomfort. And the result is already incredibly pleasing! Ruzanna Yesaievna is a tough professional who does her job with love. I am very glad that I ended up with her. Choosing a surgeon is a rather difficult process. Based on my experience, I can confidently recommend Ruzanna Yesaievna.
