How is AirSculpt's Thigh Gap Surgery Different Than A Lift?

The thigh gap – the distance some people have between their thighs when standing with their legs together – is a beauty trait many women today crave. Thigh gaps are rare, partly due to anatomical and fitness differences and partly due to a lack of information on how to achieve them. Several treatments exist to narrow the thighs to improve (and sometimes create) a natural-looking thigh gap.

Important Factors

A thigh gap is more likely in healthy and fit people. However, not all healthy people have such a leg gap. Whether someone has a thigh gap is determined in part by anatomy. Regardless of a woman's fitness level, her bone structure, body shape, and body type ultimately control whether or not it is possible to develop a thigh gap. 

For example, the angle and width of the hips can determine whether there is room for the thighs to touch. These factors cannot be changed by exercise and diet. Athletes may have relatively little fat on their thighs, but their well-developed muscles fill the space between them.

It's important to comprehend the role of anatomy, as some women may have to accept that the space between their thighs will never materialize because of their physique. On the other hand, your anatomy can be favorable. Women with certain body types who do not currently have a thigh gap can get one by living a healthy lifestyle, undergoing a thigh lift (if necessary), or going the body contouring route.

Of course, fitness and age also play a role. A lift may be necessary if you have age-related sagging skin and unfolded fat patches on your thighs. A healthy diet and exercise help reduce excess fat and increase your chances of developing a natural thigh gap, but AirSculpt is the next best route for many.

Getting a Thigh Lift

A thigh lift is usually recommended for women with excess skin and fat along the thighs. This treatment can be performed to create the desired contour of the thighs. If necessary, the surgeon uses liposuction to remove fat in addition to exising sagging skin to reshape the inner thighs. This procedure reduces the size of the legs, reduces excess tissue, and widens or creates a thigh gap.
