The Challenge
The thighs are unique and don’t respond to generic lifting techniques that apply to other parts of the body. The skin in this area is often thinner and has less elasticity as well. Dr. Shuster understands these demands and uses his extensive background treating patients with an inner thigh to achieve extraordinary results.
The Dr. Shuster Approach
With 20 years of experience addressing troubling skin laxity around the legs, Dr. Shuster is able to effectively restore slimmer, more toned inner thighs. His vast knowledge with the inner thigh lift gives him a unique view and expertise of the upper legs, allowing him to emphasize natural contours in a tasteful and subtle way. Dr. Shuster’s personal technique with this procedure is a three-dimensional approach that tightens the thighs while removing skin in multiple directions along the inner aspect and top of the thighs. Throughout each step of the procedure, he makes every effort to ensure that the results are natural and scarring is minimal and as inconspicuous as possible.
Traditional Thigh Lifts
Dr. Shuster developed his technique for rejuvenating the upper legs because he was not satisfied with traditional methods due to inconsistent and unsatisfactory results. Older and more conventional approaches often do not fully correct the problem and may lead to legs that looked imbalanced and strange.
“I had the most perfect pre and post-op care, and a relaxed and safe experience during the procedure. I so highly recommend Dr Shuster.”
