Thigh lift surgery reshapes the thighs by removing excess skin and fat, resulting in smoother skin and more proportionate thighs and lower body contours.
If patients’ fitness and weight-control efforts have not resulted in a firmer, more youthful-looking, and more proportionate to their overall body image, a surgical lift may be the solution.
Thigh lift procedures are classified into two types:
A medial thigh lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the top region of the inner thigh, giving it a tighter appearance. A crescent of skin and fat is removed from the top section of the inner thigh, leaving a horizontal scar.
The removal of extra loose skin and fat to contour, tone, and firm the upper leg, usually as a result of weight loss, is referred to as a standard thigh lift. In this technique, the scar is directed both vertically and horizontally.
To select the fats for this type of cosmetic surgery, ultrasound with high intensity and frequency is required. Ultrasound scans are highly accurate, non-invasive, and patient-friendly.
For example, the Convex and Linear Color Doppler wireless Double Head Ultrasound Scanner CLCD is critical in avoiding unnecessary anticoagulation and complications.
The CLCD may help to avoid a rare but fatal side effect known as visceral perforation. In which it can be used in surgery without the use of cables and with a disposable protective cover.
It is simple to solve the probe’s sterilization problem. Furthermore, it improves the smart terminals’ communication capabilities.
The benefits of ultrasound-guided thigh lift surgery have been recognized, particularly the fact that making the diagnosis at the plastic surgery clinic expedites patient treatment while minimizing the inconvenience and cost of a patient visit to a hospital imaging department.
