What is a Thigh and Buttock Lift?
A thigh and buttock lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper thighs and buttocks. This procedure helps to tighten and smooth the skin, creating a more toned and youthful appearance. It is an excellent option for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, aging, or other factors that have resulted in sagging skin and excess fat in these areas.
Why Consider a Thigh and Buttock Lift?
There are several reasons why individuals might choose to undergo a thigh and buttock lift:
Genetics
Some people are genetically predisposed to store excess fat and skin in their thighs and buttocks.
Weight Fluctuations
Significant weight gain or loss can result in sagging skin and stubborn fat deposits.
Pregnancy and Childbirth
Changes in the body during pregnancy can lead to excess skin and fat in the thighs and buttocks.
Natural Aging
As we age, our skin loses elasticity, leading to sagging and drooping in various areas of the body.
I’m very happy and pleased with the quality of care and treatment I received at AMG Plastic Surgery. Dr Ghaznavi was very thorough, attentive and caring before, during and after my surgery and continues to be. From the moment I walked in the office, Pam greeted me and helped calm my nerves and has been supportive throughout the entire process and continues to be. I highly recommend this practice for any plastic surgery you need. You will be well taken care of.
The Thigh and Buttock Lift Procedure in Reston
Personalized Consultation
During your consultation, Dr. Ghaznavi will discuss your goals, evaluate your thighs and buttocks, and determine if a thigh and buttock lift is the right choice for you. He will develop a personalized treatment plan to ensure optimal results.
Surgical Procedure
The thigh and buttock lift is typically performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. The procedure involves making incisions along the inner thigh and possibly the buttocks. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining skin is tightened and reshaped to create a smoother contour. Liposuction may also be used to further refine the results. The incisions are then closed with sutures or staples.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from a thigh and buttock lift generally takes one to two weeks. Patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. Dr. Ghaznavi will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.

Risks of a Thigh and Buttock Lift
As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks associated with a thigh and buttock lift, including:
Scarring
Incisions may leave scars, which will fade over time but may not completely disappear.
Infection
Proper care and hygiene are essential to prevent infection.
Blood Clots
Patients are encouraged to move around as soon as possible after surgery to reduce the risk of blood clots.
Asymmetry
There is a risk of uneven results, which can be minimized by choosing a skilled and experienced surgeon like Dr. Ghaznavi.
