Thigh lift surgery
During thigh lift surgery, the thighs are restructured by decreasing excess skin and removing excess fat, which leads to smoother skin, also giving the thighs and lower body a contour better proportioned.

During your first consultation, the doctor will assess your state of health and carefully examine your complexion. Your doctor should justify all of the different body contouring methods that will be acceptable and deliberate which choices or combination of procedures will work for you.
Be candid when discussing your expectations with your doctor. The doctor must be just as sincere with you, explain the process very well and enlighten you on its risks and limitations. Your doctor should further substantiate the anesthesia used, the type of facility in which the surgery will be performed, and the fees involved.

The details of the thigh lift procedure
The thigh lift procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia. It requires an incision in the groin area that sometimes extends around the back of the thigh, depending on the results desired by the patient. These incisions are positioned so that they can be concealed even by swimsuits. An inner (medial) thigh lift may require an incision only in the groin area, and it is suitable for patients with a reasonable amount of skin and fat in the inner thigh area. An outer (lateral) thigh lift includes an incision extending from the groin and can often lift the buttocks with the thigh.
Once the incision is created, the surgeon can tighten the tissues in the area to form a smoother, more toned outline. The incisions are sealed with sutures, and you will also be asked to put on a compression garment to reduce swelling and stimulate a proper healing process.
Recovery after thigh lift
Healing could be a regular process. Your doctor may most likely tell you to start walking as soon as possible (to help prevent blood clots from forming in your legs), but to avoid other vigorous activity for 2-4 weeks. The stitches come off in 5-10 days or dissolve, and you should be back to work within 7-10 days, or at most 2 weeks after surgery. The time at which you resume your activities depends on the level of your procedure, your state of health and the recommendations of the doctor.
Although most swelling and discoloration may disappear after a month or two, some swelling may persist for 6 months and longer. Your doctor may schedule follow-up visits to monitor your development and determine if further procedures are needed.
If you experience any unusual symptoms between visits, such as severe blood loss or increased pain, or if you have any questions about what you can and cannot do, do not hesitate to consult your doctor. .
