Swiss Leading Plastic Surgery®S.L.P.S Verified

Swiss Leading Plastic Surgery (S.L.P.S) is led by Dr. Michael A. Boss — a leading international Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgeon, who graduated from University of Bern Medical School and received his Swiss and European Board Certification in 1998 (after international training in Switzerland, USA, Canada, UK and Belgium).

Words cannot explain how happy I am with everything Dr. Boss has done for me. I have been treated like and individual and Dr. Boss has listened to me and explained to me the process I was having done. The time I wait to see Dr. Boss has never been long, and when it is my turn Dr. Boss gives me his full attention and time. Dr. Boss cares and it shows in his work and attitude towards me. He is the best! I can’t believe that someone so famous is also such a genuinely nice person!

I can’t say enough about Dr. Boss and his staff. I was made to feel comfortable every step of the way. The nurses and anesthetist were wonderful on the day of surgery and set me completely at ease. I am VERY pleased with my experience and would recommend Dr. Boss to anyone interested in plastic surgery. P.S. I had constricted breasts, which are difficult to “reverse”, and I am happy to report that I now look natural and symmetric.

What is a Thigh Lift?

The objective of the thigh lift (thighplasty) procedure is to improve the contour of the thighs by lifting and removing excess skin and occasionally fat that has lost its elasticity due to age or fluctuation in weight. Liposuction may be used in conjunction with the thigh lift procedure.

 

A Good Candidate for Thigh Lift

Good Candidates for thigh lift surgery are healthy non-smoking individuals. The minimum age requirement for this surgery is 18 years of age.

 

Thigh Lift Procedure

The first step is a detailed consultation with your surgeon who will discuss with you the best method(s) to be used to achieve your desired end results. After the patient has undergone anesthesia, incisions may be made in one of three different places, depending on which area of the thighs need to be concentrated on the most. Incisions may be made on the inner thighs just below the pubic area for those who need to have fat, excess or loose skin removed from their inner thigh.

 

A certain amount of skin and fat is removed from the inner thigh and tightened to improve the natural contour of the leg. Another type of incision is the bilateral incision. This method is typically used for those who have lost a significant amount of weight, and have large amounts of excess skin on the front and outside of their thighs.

 

The last method is called the medial incision. During this procedure, an incision is made in the groin all the way back to the buttock, allowing for access to the entire upper thigh where excess skin and fat are to be removed. After incisions are executed, excess skin and small portions of fat are removed.

 

The incisions are closed up with dissolvable or removable stitches, in which case the patient may be required to return to the hospital for a follow-up visit to have the stitches removed. This procedure can be outpatient or inpatient. Your surgeon will determine your length of stay in the hospital following your procedure.

 

Average Duration of Thigh Lift Surgery: 2-4 hours
