About the service

A thigh lift is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting their shape and contour. This effect is achieved by eliminating excess skin and, in some cases, fat.

There are several correction methods. The choice of surgical method depends on the individual characteristics of the body and the desired result.

Features of femoroplasty

This procedure is performed in various areas, including the inner and outer thighs, as well as the area around the knee joints. Main indications:

  • Significant changes in the thigh area due to weight loss
  • Problems with skin structure and elasticity caused by aging (sagging legs)
  • Friction and discomfort caused by excess skin folds
  • Unsuccessful liposuction leading to sagging skin
  • Manifestations of cellulite, formation of ptosis and “ears” on the hips

Surgery to tighten loose skin on the legs allows you to achieve not only an aesthetic effect. In some cases, it helps to significantly improve walking comfort - in particular, femoroplasty helps improve the general condition of the skin.

Contraindications

During pregnancy and lactation, a woman’s body undergoes significant changes. Therefore, these periods are not suitable for femoroplasty.

People with serious heart or kidney disease should also be careful. Acute infections in the body increase the likelihood of complications after surgery. Problems with blood clotting often provoke the appearance of blood clots.

Femoroplasty techniques

Femoroplasty requires careful diagnosis and planning.

Depending on the characteristics of a particular clinical case, the surgeon offers various thigh lift techniques.

Main types of femoroplasty:

  • Internal cut method This approach is appropriate when it is necessary to eliminate moderate skin ptosis on the inner thigh.
  • Spiral technique This is a more radical correction method. With this technique, significant excess skin can be effectively eliminated by redistributing the tissue around the thigh.
  • Vertical lift This technique is preferable for cases with pronounced sagging skin, especially in the inner thigh area.
  • Combined approach Combining elements of various techniques, it is used to solve particularly complex or voluminous problems - for example, to eliminate ptosis (pathology is drooping or sagging skin on the thighs).

General information about the procedure

Preoperative preparation

Preparation for a thigh lift includes complex diagnostic procedures. This stage is extremely important because it ensures the safety of the surgical intervention and contributes to a faster recovery after it.

In order to identify diseases that can affect the surgical process and subsequent recovery, the doctor refers the patient to:

  • Clinical and biochemical blood tests
  • Urine analysis

To obtain a complete picture of the state of the cardiovascular system, the patient is prescribed an ECG, CT scan or chest x-ray. Additionally, ultrasound examination of blood vessels is performed. This is especially important to identify risks associated with anesthesia and the surgery itself. It is also recommended to consult with a therapist and (if necessary) a cardiologist and phlebologist.

One of the key stages of preparation for surgery is the purchase of compression garments. Wearing it helps reduce the risk of thrombosis during the rehabilitation stage.

All medical reports and recommendations must be in writing, as they serve as official confirmation of readiness for surgery. If a person is taking any medications, be sure to inform the doctor. He will tell you whether you can drink them before the intervention and during rehabilitation.

How is the operation performed?

Before choosing a method of surgical intervention, the doctor analyzes the condition of the skin and the characteristics of the subcutaneous fat layer. He also evaluates muscle structure, blood supply, innervation and individual characteristics of tissue structure.

Before the operation, general anesthesia is performed. If there are appropriate indications, the process begins with liposuction. Next, the plastic surgeon makes incisions along predetermined lines, the choice of which is determined by the specific surgical method.

Having gained access, the doctor removes excess soft tissue, then tightens and fixes it. After all manipulations are completed, the incisions are sutured and compression garments (shorts) are applied to the patient’s thighs.

Recovery

In the first 48 hours after surgery, due to the impact on large areas, the patient experiences pain, which is accompanied by swelling. At this stage, the key focus is on monitoring him. This is why many clinics recommend inpatient treatment - in the clinic you can get high-quality care and timely pain relief.

Compression shorts help speed up the healing process, stabilize blood circulation and reduce swelling and bruising. Also, such underwear supports the fabrics in the required position. They need to be worn for 1 – 1.5 months after surgery. Then they need to be worn from time to time.

A week after the operation, you must visit the surgeon for an examination. The stitches after surgery become less noticeable within six months.

One of the key recommendations for the rehabilitation period is to avoid serious physical activity. Maintaining a calm lifestyle promotes rapid tissue recovery and prevents possible complications.

The process of gluteoplasty

The operation itself takes from 1.5 to 2 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes a neat incision, creates a space for the implant and installs it. The operation is completed with a cosmetic external suture.

After surgery, the patient is under the supervision of medical personnel to monitor the recovery process.

When I first thought about hair transplantation, I had many doubts and questions. I heard various stories - from successful to not so much. However, my intuition told me that it could change my life for the better, and I decided to have this procedure. The process was not as scary as I imagined. Alexander Gulyaev did everything carefully and thoroughly. I felt like I was in good hands. The first few days after the operation were a little uncomfortable, but this is completely natural. At first, I came to Alexander Gulyaev for injections once a week, then once a month, once every 2 months. And now, almost a year later, I look in the mirror and see a completely different person. Not just new hair, but a huge boost of confidence. The smell of fresh air for my well-being! Who would have thought that a hair transplant could be not only a physical but also an emotional transformation? I would advise everyone who is thinking about such a procedure to take a step forward. It is really worth it!

Very good clinic, wonderful, friendly staff! I had an appointment with Gulyaev Alexander Valerievich and was extremely satisfied! We communicated with Alexander Valerievich more than once during the initial appointment and further consultations. Since I am a very scrupulous person, it was difficult for me to choose a clinic for transplantation. Alexander Valerievich was always friendly, explained everything clearly and in detail. The procedure itself was stress-free, calm, with conversation. Visually looked 15 years younger

I turned to Aleksandr Valerievich for help with eyebrow transplantation. Appearance is very important for women and the choice of a doctor was very tough. But, after the initial consultation, I had no doubts. He explained everything in great detail, reasonably relieved my fears, and also answered my questions after the procedure. The result exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Aleksandr Valerievich!

Thanks to the reviews on the site, I went to have surgery with Ivan Aleksandrovich. I confirm every kind word about him. He is a great professional in his field. The suture looks very neat and aesthetically pleasing, he preserved the shape and volume of the mammary gland, despite the fact that he had to remove a fairly large part. The doctor inspires calm, confidence and a positive attitude. Ivan Aleksandrovich is very caring towards patients. You will definitely not feel embarrassed or afraid. Everything is very comfortable, professional and somehow very sensitive in a human way. A great doctor and person!

I had bald spots on my bangs since childhood, and about 5 years ago I thought about a transplant, read about different methods and, as a result, the results, recently hair transplantation in Turkey has begun to gain popularity - I read, weighed the pros and cons. I analyzed the market in Moscow, found a clinic on recommendation where Alexander works, held a meeting - received detailed information and a description of my case. One clinic indicated 3500 FUE, another 4800 grafts. Alexander indicated that there is no point in doing more than 2800 grafts (FUE), i.e. the issue of profit and earnings was not in the first place. The choice was obvious. The operation went off without a hitch, Alexander masterfully conjured over the head, the assistant girls constantly encouraged and communicated. From the very first week, regular relief of the patient's condition and well-being, ozone weekly, after 3 months they began to inject vitamins. And the complexity of my case is that the hair is light (blond), thin and low hair density. After 5 months the result is super: clear contour, density, absence of any hints of hair loss of transplanted hair. I definitely recommend it!

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my doctor, Alexander Valerievich Gulyaev, for the excellent result! I came to him with a problem of hair loss. 3,000 grafts were transplanted. The result after 5 months was already amazing! Many thanks for the professionalism in the operation and advice on maintaining the result. Special attention should be paid to the fact that the doctor is always in touch and, either himself or through the clinic staff, always answered all questions.

Проходила операцию по поводу фиброаденомы молочной железы у Ивана Александровича, и он впечатлил меня на всех этапах: от диагностики и консультации до подготовки к операции и внимательного наблюдения после неё. Его аккуратность в перевязках, готовность помочь и внимание к восстановлению — это настоящий эталон для врача. Операция была проведена настолько профессионально и ювелирно, что иногда даже другие врачи не могут сразу найти шов! Огромная благодарность! Если вы выбираете врача, могу смело рекомендовать Ивана Александровича.

Уважаемый Шерали Раджабалиевич! Огромное спасибо за быстрое, четкое и безболезненное удаление фиброаденомы из груди. Все прошло очень быстро и психологически комфортно, после операции я даже не потребовала обезболивающих. Вы внимательно и чутко отнеслись к моим просьбам, и я безмерно благодарна за то, как гладко прошел весь процесс. Шов получился аккуратный, ровный и зажил без проблем. Два разных врача на перевязках сделали комплимент вашему мастерству! Желаю вам всего наилучшего и удачи в вашей работе!

Рак правой молочной железы — операцию проводил Иван Александрович. Это действительно врач от Бога, с золотыми руками! Работа на высшем уровне, швов почти не видно, все сделано ювелирно. Он очень внимателен, даже когда был уставшим после нескольких операций, приходил в палату по несколько раз, чтобы узнать, как я себя чувствую. Желаю, чтобы таких врачей было больше!
