Thigh Implants in Houston, TX
Thin, bony thighs can detract from an otherwise youthful and well-defined body image, making you look older than you are. Fortunately, this condition can be easily corrected with a simple thigh augmentation procedure, enhanced by thigh implants.
While the procedure may be performed either using implants or by means of a fat transfer or fat grafting procedure, a skilled plastic surgeon such as Dr. Olga Bachilo at Glamour Plastic Surgery and Med Spa can help you select which is most suitable for you, depending on your condition and body type, as well as your aesthetic goals.
Candidates
Anyone whose thighs are thin, bony, undefined, sagging, or out of proportion with the rest of the body may benefit from a thigh augmentation procedure with thigh implants. Reconstructive patients who suffer from lack of muscle mass in the thighs due to health conditions, injuries, or prior surgeries also benefit greatly from thigh implants and thigh augmentation surgery.
Procedure
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. Depending on the area of the thigh to be enhanced, the small 3-centimeter incisions may be camouflaged either in the groin area or in the pit behind the knee. Through these incisions, the surgeon creates a pocket over the muscle tissue and inserts the implants into the pocket.
How Long Will I Need to Recover After Thigh Implant Surgery?
The normal recovery period is about one week, at which point most patients are able to return to work. You may need to refrain from more strenuous physical activity such as running and climbing stairs for a period of about six to eight weeks, and it may take as long as three to four months for all of the swelling from the procedure to thoroughly subside.
