Leg Lift (Thigh Lift) Our Treatment
What is Leg Lift Surgery?
Due to aging, rapid weight gain and loss, inappropriate and fatty diet, pregnancy, inactivity, stomach surgery and genetic factors, sagging occurs in the legs of people. These deformations in the leg are the result of changes in the shape, structure and arrangement of collagen and aesthetic fibers in the body. The best solution for this problem is leg lift surgery, also known as thigh lift surgery.
The skin on the inner parts of the thighs, that is, the upper legs, has a thin structure. Therefore, it is highly affected by the changes in the body. In addition, deformations occur in the inner upper leg due to friction while walking. Leg lift surgery not only thins the upper leg, but also makes the upper leg look tighter and fitter.
