There seems to be a misconception that people who are struggling with problem areas on their bodies just need to work harder. These people are usually prescribed extra doses of cardio, strength training and veggies.
If you are struggling with the inner thigh area, then you know that this is not always the case. Many times, genetics and excess skin are the culprits. As you have probably determined, these two issues cannot be remedied with regular exercise and clean eating habits.
Your genetics will be a major factor in determining whether you are dealing with primarily stubborn fat that won’t go away, excess skin, or a pretty even combination of the two. A consultation with one of the Las Vegas plastic surgeons will steer you in the direction of a procedure that fits your situation best.
Stubborn Fat Solution
If stubborn fat is your primary concern, you are most likely going to need a plastic surgery Las Vegas procedure called liposuction. If your skin is taut with minimal stretch marks, this should be the only procedure you need. Small incisions will be made along the creases where your groin and buttocks meet your leg. The small scars that appear will be nearly impossible to see because of where they fall on your body.
Excess Skin Remedy
For women who are dealing more with excess skin than excess fat stores, you’ll want to consider a skin removal surgery. This procedure will remove excess skin and tighten the remaining skin to restore a youthful look. The amount of recovery and scarring will be dependent on how much skin you and your surgeon decide to remove.
Thigh lift procedures that are milder will generally have an incision that follows the line of the crease where the groin meets the leg. This type of scar is easily hidden by your clothing. You can get a good amount of contouring with minimal scaring in this procedure.
Thigh lift procedures that are removing larger amounts of excess skin will result in more scarring. There will be a second incision that travels vertically down your leg just like the inseam of your jeans. This secondary vertical incision makes it possible for the surgeon to remove significantly more skin than was possible in the milder version of this procedure.
While it sounds drastic, this added incision can give you the smooth and shapely thighs you have always dreamed of. Depending on the length of the scar, it can be hidden with your clothing. Also remember that scars lighten with time. A dermatologist can help you lighten the scar even further.
Of course, for you to achieve your best results, you may want to consider combining these two procedures. This way, you are able to achieve the sculpted and smooth legs you’ve been dreaming about.
