Types of Surgery

1. Thigh Lift

• Medial Thigh Lift: Targets the inner thighs to remove excess skin and improve tightness.

• Lateral Thigh Lift: Focuses on the outer thighs, often combined with buttock procedures for enhanced contouring.

• Full Thigh Lift: Addresses both inner and outer thigh laxity for comprehensive rejuvenation.

2. Butt Lift

• Traditional Buttock Lift: Involves excision of excess skin and repositioning of the buttock tissue to elevate and firm the area.

• Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL): Uses liposuction to harvest fat from other areas of the body, which is then injected into the buttocks for volume enhancement and improved shape.

• Combined Procedures: In some cases, a combination of skin excision and fat grafting is performed to achieve optimal contour and projection.

Surgical Procedure Description – Step-by-Step

Step 1: Consultation & Evaluation

    - Dr. Harsh Amin performs a detailed assessment of your thighs and/or buttocks, reviewing your medical history, current health status, and aesthetic goals.

    - Customized markings and a surgical plan are created to outline the areas for excision and contouring.

Step 2: Anesthesia

    - The surgery is performed under general anesthesia or deep sedation to ensure comfort during the procedure.

Step 3: Incision & Skin Excision

    - For a thigh lift, incisions are made along the inner or outer thigh, following natural creases to minimize visible scarring.

    - For a butt lift, incisions are placed in discreet areas, and excess skin is removed to tighten the region.

Step 4: Fat Removal & Tissue Repositioning

    - In procedures combined with liposuction or fat grafting (such as Brazilian Butt Lift), excess fat is removed from donor sites.

    - Fat may be purified and re-injected into the buttocks to enhance volume and shape.

    - Tissues are repositioned and anchored to achieve the desired contour.

Step 5: Closure & Dressings

    - Incisions are closed with fine sutures to ensure minimal scarring.

    - A compression garment or dressing is applied to support the new contours and reduce swelling.

Step 6: Immediate Post-Operative Care

    - Patients are monitored in recovery before being discharged with detailed post-operative instructions.

Recovery After Surgery

✔ Initial Recovery:

    - Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common for 1-2 weeks.

✔ Suture Removal:

    - Typically performed 7-10 days post-surgery.

✔ Resumption of Activities:

    - Light activities can be resumed within 10-14 days; strenuous exercise should be avoided for 3-4 weeks.

✔ Final Results:

    - Full healing and optimal contouring are usually observed within 3-6 months.
 

✔ Follow-Up:

    - Regular follow-up visits are essential to monitor healing and address any adjustments.
