Do you have 'Skirt Envy'?
Shapely legs are a distinctive feature of health, vitality and beauty. In Los Angeles, wearing shorts and skirts is not only a social obligation; it is almost a requirement of the weather. Being physically active or participating in outdoor activities in long pants can be cumbersome, if not restrictive and possibly depressing.
Sometimes no matter how many miles you walk or how many salads you eat, you just can't get rid of those pockets of unsightly fat. Gravity and aging are other factors that contribute to loss of shape and contour. For others who have lost a significant amount of weight, the skin can sag, ripple and fold in ways that cannot be remedied except with surgery.
How does a thigh lift work?
A thigh lift removes excess fat, tightens the skin and re-contours the upper leg usually with concealable scars. Thigh lifts can be combined with other procedures like a tummy tuck, arm lift, and breast lift, or as part of a Mommy Makeover. Many thigh lifts are performed on the inner thigh, but thigh lifts can also be performed on the outer thigh or included with a buttock lift.
Why choose Marina Plastic Surgery?
At Marina Plastic Surgery, Dr. Stoker and Dr. Stevens specialize in lipo-sculpture techniques - especially power-assisted liposuction, which is a more precise and gentle procedure than manual liposuction. Power-assisted liposuction reduces damage to surrounding tissues, allows for less time under anesthesia, and decreases recovery time. Most importantly, power-assisted liposuction gives the surgeon far more control to sculpt the body. Dr. Stoker was recently recognized by The New York Times Style Magazine as one of the top plastic surgeons in the United States for liposuction. Dr. Stoker and Dr. Stevens are contributing authors on the plastic surgery textbook chapter that helps to define the gold standard for liposuction and thigh lifting techniques. Being able to wear shorts or skirts again, feeling the sun on your legs, and finding freedom of movement from unwanted fat and skin deposits can dramatically improve your quality of life. To determine your options and discuss your goals, please contact our offices at 800.763.9968 to set up a personal consultation with our board certified plastic surgeons.
