Stubborn hip bulges can resist even the toughest workout. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kailash Narasimhan, MD, offers the outer thigh lift in Tampa and St. Petersburg to remove your excess skin and tighten your leg. A smoother outer curve helps you feel more confident in swimsuits and fitted jeans alike.
As part of comprehensive body contouring, Dr. Narasimhan’s artistry ensures incision placement that hides in bikini lines and leaves your legs looking naturally toned.
The way your body stores fat is often inherited, and significant weight loss can leave you with loose skin. If you are considering a thighplasty in Tampa or St. Petersburg, you should be near goal weight, a non-smoker—or prepared to quit smoking before and after the surgery—and committed to healthy living to maintain long-term results.
During your personalized consultation, we may perform a skin-elasticity pinch test to gauge how smoothly your tissue may redrape. Cellulite dimples could be treated with subcision or fat grafting during the same operation.
You may benefit from an outer thigh lift if:
Remember, a thigh lift refines contour; it does not replace a healthy lifestyle. A personalized assessment with Dr. Narasimhan could help you determine whether an outer thigh lift alone or a staged approach may achieve your ideal proportions.
During your Tampa and St. Petersburg lateral thigh lift, Dr. Narasimhan places incisions that trace your bikini line toward the hip. He then removes redundant skin, tightens your deep tissue, and blends your contours with selective liposuction. This outpatient procedure generally takes two to three hours. Once the sculpting is complete, Dr. Narasimhan uses an advanced stitching technique for flatter and lighter scars. A long-acting local anesthetic keeps you comfortable throughout the entire surgical procedure. During the operation, we also monitor your circulation to safeguard nerve integrity and preserve your natural sensation.
Following your procedure, plan for three to five days off work. You will wear compression garments to reduce your swelling. Most Tampa and St. Petersburg patients return to workouts around six weeks after an outer thigh rejuvenation procedure. Your scars should lighten over twelve months with silicone gel and sun protection. Short walks the evening of your surgery could improve your circulation and reduce your risk of blood clots. We teach lymphatic self-massage techniques that you can continue at home. Quarterly follow-up appointments allow us to document your scar maturation and celebrate your progress. Many patients notice that clothing fits more comfortably within just two weeks, boosting their motivation to stick with healthy habits.
