Procedure covered by Medicare and Funds. 

For further information and costs please ring the Manly rooms (02) 9977 1275 to arrange a consultation.

Procedures:

  1. Liposuction – no lifting.

Fatty medial thighs rubbing together, firm elastic skin, no sagging.  Liposuction only required to a 1cm pinch test.  Goodskin retraction results in firm shapely medial thighs, a good gap and no rubbing.  Performed as a LA/GA day only procedure, elastic girdle, second day shower.

Post-Operation Incisional Line
Pre Operative: Liposuction to abdomen and medial thighs (as marked) LA, pinch test 3 cms. Post Operative (1 hour later) small incision sites shown, pinch test 1 cm. Post Operative patient in elastic girdle night/day 3 weeks can shower daily

 

  1. Medial Thigh Lift

Excessive skin and/bulging fat in the upper 2/3 medial thigh – medial thighs continually rubbing together.  The operation firstly removes all the excessive fat to a pinch test of 1cm.  Excess loose skin is then excised, then the skin and deep tissue are tightened upward to give a firm tight medial thigh contour with now a space between the thighs.  This is the new “French” concentric medial thigh lift.
The incision is a horizontal incision from pubic area anterior, running beside the labia majora to anal area.  Does not open vagina or disturb intercourse.  Incision line remains high and hidden.  Each operation about 2 ½ hour procedure, one night in hospital, general anaesthetic procedure.  One week out of action, uncomplicated.  Cost covered under Medicare/funds with a small excess gap amount.

Patient with loose flabby skin on medial thighs no fat excess.

Lateral and anterior thighs

  1. Liposuction to fatty anterior thighs.  Technique here is the “Slim-Lipo” – Liposuction to 2cm pinch test with skin retraction.  The “Slim-Lipo” uses a special laser rod which removes fat and is specially designed to produce maximum skin retraction – so essential to the anterior thigh area as skin rippling, dimpling and sagging will occur with gravity forces.
  1. Outer Lateral Thigh Lift

Excess loose wrinkled skin lateral and anterior thighs, from sun damage, weight and ageing.  Excess skin is excised with a long incision down the length of the medial thigh.  Some liposuction medially performed.  Special wound repair and taping of wound for 12 weeks ensures a fine scar.
