Femoroplasty

Femoroplasty

It is difficult to get rid of sagging hips through sports, massage or diet.
These methods affect the condition of the muscles and fat layer, but hardly change the skin, which is already stretched.
To restore clear contours to the legs, femoroplasty is used - a surgical lift aimed at correcting the inner surface of the thigh. At the ForMe clinic in St. Petersburg, the method is often combined with liposuction, which allows you to simultaneously reduce volume and create a harmonious silhouette of the lower body.

Species

Medial lift.
The most gentle type of femoroplasty, in which an incision is made in the inguinal fold in the shape of a crescent. The surgeon pulls the skin upward and then excises the excess in the upper third of the thigh. After healing, the scar is completely hidden under underwear. The method is effective for slight or moderate sagging tissue in the upper leg.
Lateral lift.
The incision runs from the groin through the side of the thigh to the lower back or buttock. The skin is pulled up and to the sides, which helps remove the so-called riding breeches. Often the method is a stage of extended correction of the lower body, and therefore requires a longer recovery.
Vertical femoroplasty.
The most radical method, which is used after losing 30–50 kg of weight. The incision runs vertically along the inside of the leg - from the inguinal fold to the knee. The skin is pulled horizontally, like a corset. The method leaves the most visible seam, which cannot always be hidden under short shorts.
Combined correction.
It is a combination of several techniques. Usually complemented by liposuction, which makes the skin thinner.

Indications

excess fat deposits in the thigh area;
uneven surface;
small pits and folds;
loss of elasticity;
discomfort when walking due to friction;
changes in the shape and condition of the hips after weight loss.

Contraindications

acute infectious diseases;
problems with blood clotting;
severe chronic diseases in the acute stage;
defects of the cardiovascular system;
inflammatory processes in the incision area;
pregnancy;
breastfeeding period.
Before the operation, the patient undergoes a medical examination to assess his general health and eliminate possible risks.

Preparation

  • Surgeon consultation. The doctor at the ForMe clinic collects anamnesis, clarifies previous diseases, allergies, and previous operations. This is necessary to identify indications and exclude contraindications.
  • Discussion of the result. The plastic surgeon shows you exactly where the incisions will be made and what size they will be.
  • Analyzes and examinations. The standard complex includes general and biochemical blood tests, coagulogram, tests for HIV and hepatitis, ECG, fluorography or CT scan of the lungs. Additionally, ultrasound of the veins of the lower extremities is prescribed.
  • Fabric evaluation. The surgeon performs palpation, assesses the elasticity of the skin and the thickness of the subcutaneous fat. This helps decide whether liposuction is needed.
  • Withdrawal of drugs. 10–14 days before the procedure, in agreement with the therapist, aspirin, some anti-inflammatory drugs, and hormonal contraceptives are discontinued.
  • Quitting smoking and alcohol. The minimum period of abstinence from bad habits is two weeks before surgery and the same amount after.
Preparation for femoroplasty

How is the operation performed?

Marking the correction area
The surgeon marks the boundaries of the future incision with a special marker while the patient stands. This is fundamentally important because soft tissues shift when lying down.
Anesthesia
Plastic surgery is performed under anesthesia. Before the operation, the patient undergoes a consultation with an anesthesiologist.
Surgical incision
The cut is made according to the applied markings. Its depth reaches the fascia - the shell of the muscle, which ensures reliable fixation of the tissue.
Liposuction (if necessary)
A special solution is injected through small punctures, and then the fat is pumped out with cannulas. Thus, the skin flap becomes thinner, so it lies more evenly.
Removing excess
The surgeon peels off the skin, stretches it and carefully cuts off the excess. Balance is important here: too much tension creates the risk of seams coming apart, and not enough tension will leave laxity.
Tissue fixation
The inner layers of fascia are sutured to the deep structures in the groin area. This ensures that the frame does not slip down over time and ensures long-term results.
Sutures and drainage
First, the deep tissues are sutured with absorbable threads, then a cosmetic suture is applied. At the end, thin drainage tubes are installed to drain the fluid, which are removed after one or two days.

Rehabilitation

wear compression garments;
limit physical activity;
take care of postoperative sutures;
refuse to visit the bathhouse, sauna and swimming pool;
Come for checkups regularly so that the doctor can monitor the progress of your rehabilitation.
Complete tissue restoration takes several weeks, and the final result is assessed after 6–12 months.

Effect

  • Elimination of physical discomfort. Chafing when walking stops bothering you, and chronic diaper rash and irritation go away.
  • Microrelief leveling. The visibility of cellulite is noticeably reduced, small irregularities are smoothed out. Externally, the skin looks smoother and denser.
  • Increased tissue tone. The operation strengthens the muscle-fascial layer. The legs acquire the elasticity characteristic of a younger age.
  • Freedom in choosing clothes. After recovery, many patients can wear open swimsuits, shorts, and tight-fitting pants.
  • Long-term results. With a stable weight and moderate physical activity, a clear contour remains for many years.

    Джимиев Мулдар Русланович – это находка! Если вы хотите безупречный живот, то он сделает все идеально. Я решилась на абдоминопластику с диастазом (обвисшая кожа после родов). Доктор ушил диастаз, устранил лишнюю кожу и перенёс пупок. Всё это "бесшовным" методом. Пупки у него, конечно, лучшие! А сам доктор душевный и внимательный!
