One of the most important elements of body beauty in women is the legs. Loosening and sagging in legs may occur due to weight gain or loss, birth, inactivity and aging. In addition to these disorders that may occur later, a person may also have structurally extremely thin or bowlegs. Women who have very thick, very thin, bowed or asymmetrical legs can have the legs they want with plastic surgeries.
How does thigh lift perform?
The leg area from the hip to the knee is called thigh. Saggy skin in this area is one of the most troubling issues for some people. With the thigh lift surgery, the saggy skin and fat on the upper and inner parts of the legs are removed. In thinner patients with less skin sagging, excess skin is removed, stretched and sutured, leaving a slanted scar on the inner side of the groin. In patients with excessive sagging and fat on the skin, the operation applied together with liposuction leaves a "T" shaped scar.
Bowleg Surgery: The bowleg appearance, which occurs due to the disproportionate distribution of fat in the legs, is treated by taking the intra-articular knee fat that creates the bowed image by liposuction and injecting it into the missing areas (calves). During the operation, the curvature of bones is not intervened. This treatment with fat transfer is permanent for life.
Knee Aesthetic: Knees are one of the most important parts of leg beauty. Deformation in knees can create an unsightly appearance in the entire leg. Deformities that affect leg aesthetics in knees can be caused by sagging and wrinkles due to fat accumulations or rapid weight change. Excess fat can be removed by liposuction anywhere in the knee. Sometimes, due to frequent weight change, sagging of the skin on knees, wrinkles, or protrusions on the sides of knees may occur. In order to eliminate these disorders, protrusions and excess skin can be surgically removed.
Skinny Leg Aesthetic: If the legs are extremely skinny, more shaped legs can be obtained with prosthesis placement. The size of prosthesis is determined according to the need of patient and after the doctor's control. Prostheses are placed on the lower leg (between the knee and ankle). Since the operation is performed through small incisions of 3-4 cm behind the knee, recovery time is short and the operation scar is pretty difficult to notice.
