BREAST RECONSTRUCTION AFTER MASTERCTOMY

Loosening of the medial surface of the thigh is a characteristic feature in people (man-woman) who have undergone massive weight loss and in women after the age of 50.

It is an aesthetic deformity of the specific area which over time tends to deteriorate.

The specific anatomical area contains an increased amount of fat, while the skin in the medial surface is thinner, with a smaller amount of collagen and that is why the inner thigh area loosens easily after a certain age and any kind of exercise or diet cannot improve it.

Thigh lifting surgery is the only technique that relieves you of the loose and wrinkled skin in the medial surface of the thighs.

Dr Kretsis through the modern technique eliminates the sagging of the medial thighs and prevents the scars from being visible.

Am I the right candidate for a thigh lift surgery?

Suitable candidates for this surgery are:

Individuals who have undergone massive weight loss (diet-surgery)
Women with loosening and stretch marks in the medial surface of the thighs and patients after an unsuccessful surgical operation

Thigh Lift Surgical Technique

Excess loosened-wrinkled skin in the thigh area disappears through an incision usually made in the groin, extending downward and wrapping around the back of the thigh.

During the operation Dr. Kretsis performs simultaneously a liposuction where it is needed.

Through liposuction Dr. Kretsis achieves to remove as much loosen skin as possible.

The incision is sutured in a manner so that the orientation of the scar is within the panty line and thigh tissues are sutured and supported by stapled sutures to the periosteum of the pubic symphysis in order to avoid them of being visible.

Advantages of the surgery

The visit to Dr Kretsis

During the visit, Dr Kretsis will assess the excess and sagging of the area and will recommend a specific surgery and whether it can be combined with liposuction or some other kind of intervention.

During the visit, Dr Kretsis will be fully informed about your medical history, any surgical operations that you might have had in the past, and any kind of information concerning medications you receive or allergies you may have.

Furthermore, Dr. Kretsis will take a picture of you and through the photographic material will explain the source of the problem.

Afterwards, he will provide you all the necessary details concerning the surgical operation you have chosen.

Thigh lift surgery

The operation is performed after a detailed hematological, radiological and ECG test in the certified units of Metropolitan Hospital.

The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and the duration is 2-3 hours.

Liposuction is performed in the area at the same time in order to maximize the outcome.

The surgical incisions are oriented in a manner so as not to be visible below the underwear or swimsuit line.

The patient leaves the hospital usually on the same day.

Recovery

Complications

The complications of the surgery can be:

A little discomfort
Infection
Hypertrophic scars
Alteration of the shape of the external genital organs

These complications usually occur in operations that are not properly planned.

Dr Kretsis using the most correct orientation of the operative sections and with the support of internal sutures to bone structures provides an outcome with no visible scars below the panty line.
