You care about your appearance and try your best to achieve your aesthetic goals. You invest time and effort dieting, exercising, and planning your outfits. Sometimes, however, at-home efforts are not enough. While you may succeed in losing weight, your body may retain stubborn pockets of fat, or you may develop loose skin from your weight loss. If you find you have concerns with your thighs, then it is time to look into an outer thigh lift in Nashville.

Dr. Dan Hatef, MD is a skilled plastic surgeon, and he and the rest of our team are here to help you achieve your aesthetic goals in an efficient, convenient manner. We listen to your wants and needs when you meet us for a consultation and build a custom care plan that addresses your concerns in a way that works for you. We keep you centered throughout the experience as you work towards feeling comfortable and confident with your appearance.

Who Are Candidates for an Outer Thigh Lift?

You may be a great candidate for a lateral thigh lift in Nashville if you:

  • Are at a stable weight
  • Have excess skin on the outer side of your thigh
  • Experience stubborn deposits of fat
  • Have a realistic goal

Having realistic expectations is integral to having a good plastic surgery experience.

It is also important that you are a non-smoker or you are willing to stop smoking, as nicotine can interfere with your body’s natural healing abilities and can lead to a longer or more complicated recovery.

The Outer Thigh Lift Process

A lateral thighplasty in Nashville focuses on the concerns you have for the outer portion of your thigh, unlike an inner thigh lift that would address the inner region of the thigh. During your procedure, you will usually be in surgery for between two to three hours. This depends on your needs and whether you choose to pair your operation with additional procedures.

We begin by making incisions at the predetermined locations. This allows Dr. Hatef access to the underlying tissues that he molds to help you achieve your desired body contour. This may include minor liposuction to target pockets of fat and the removal of excess skin tissue that you feel is unsightly. Once he manipulates the tissue to the correct locations and shapes, we close the incisions and take you to recovery.

We provide you with instructions for how to care for yourself and your surgical site at home. This includes suggestions for rest and types of allowable activities. It also includes instructions on which garments to wear, such as a compression garment to help your body heal, and how to change the bandages on your surgical site as necessary.
