The thigh is an area of the body that is not a typical area that comes to mind for implants; however, it can be done and can look very natural. The muscles that make up the bulk of the thigh are called the Quads. These are the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and vastus intermedius.
For the main muscles, which are enhanced using implants, are the rectus femoris and vasti medialis and lateralis.
Incisions are made to be quite small relative to the size of the implant and are well hidden.
Patients who desire a larger look can have custom-designed and created implants.
The surgery is very well tolerated, and a patient can resume most activities within 1-2 weeks and all activities within 4-6 weeks. Patients often ask when they can resume weight lifting. The answer is generally within 4-6 weeks. Another question that is asked is whether a person can even resume bodybuilding following these implants, and the answer is most definitely! Thighplasty can be a game changer for individuals.
