Thigh Lift in Fredericksburg, VA
What is a thigh lift?
Losing weight is an impressive accomplishment for any individual. In some cases, women and men who achieve their weight loss goals may require one more thing to complete their body transformation. Depending on how long you were overweight and how much weight you lost, extra skin can be a separate problem if the skin cannot shrink to your body's new shape and size. The thighs are particularly areas of concern for most people. Plastic surgeons Dr. Howard Heppe, Dr. Harold Bautista, and Dr. Pejman Aflaki offer thigh lift surgery (also called thighplasty) at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg, which trims away loose skin on the inner and outer thighs to create a firmer, more contoured appearance. Thighplasty surgery has risen in popularity since it can give natural-looking results for patients battling sagging skin on the thighs.
How is a Thigh Lift Performed?
During thigh lift surgery, anesthesia is usually used. A surgical incision is made close to the top portion of the thigh in the natural crease where the thigh attaches to the torso. This incision typically continues down to the midpoint of the thigh area. This permits enough room to perform liposuction (if wanted) to eliminate isolated pockets of fat and to trim the excess skin in the upper thigh. The remaining skin will be stretched upward so it is tight and safely secured with sutures. In some instances, an additional incision may be made in the outer thigh area or underneath the buttocks, based on the quantity of skin and tissue removed. Thigh lift surgery at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg corrects the entire thigh area for a tighter, shapelier, more contoured appearance.

Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg Reviews
I did my research and I found Dr Heppe was one of Northern Virginia’s top plastic surgeons. When I met Dr Heppe and his staff, I was very happy on how friendly and knowledgeable they were. On the day of my procedure, which is done in the building, I was very much impressed with how the process was done. All my questions and concerns were answered. I am a registered nurse, and I am acutely aware of when infection control procedures are followed and not followed, I absolutely felt safe in this environment. I am now three months out from my surgery and I am very much pleased with the results. I did not have any postoperative complications nor any infection. I honestly can highly recommend Dr.Heppe. I had a brachioplasty done and it’s the first time in 30 years that I’ve worn sleeveless tops and dresses. I wish I had done this earlier! Thank you to Dr Heppe and his staff. I have sent friends to him and they are pleased as well. Connie W RN

Five Stars are Not enough for Dr. Aflaki. I did revision rhinoplasty and I cannot thank him enough for such an amazing job he has done. The best decision I made. He is simply the best, number one plastic surgeon.
I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Bautista and I am so happy that I chose him. I came into the office because one breast was larger than the other. Dr. Bautista examined me and told me what he was able to do which was stitch up the larger breast so gravity wouldn't pull it down so hard after surgery. Nearly 3 months later they are sitting evenly and I'm so happy. The nurses were great as well. I had other medical doctors and they ensured I got a doctor's note to approve the surgery as well as making sure they honor my latex allergy. Everyone was so nice and the process was just so welcoming and amazing. Highly recommend!
