The thigh lift is a medical procedure done to reduce the sagging of a person’s thighs. This is done by tightening the skin in the thigh region. It is a good way to contour and shape your thighs.
Anyone who is not happy with their sagging thighs can consider undergoing this procedure.
Ideally, a candidate should be physically and mentally healthy. Since this is an invasive procedure, you should not have any medical condition which can impede healing. In addition to this, you should be a non-smoker.
Why you should consider a thigh lift?
If you have tried everything from diet to exercise to get rid and reshape you thighs without any success, you may want to try a thigh lift. Aside from addressing your thigh sagging problems, it can also bring back your self-confidence. It is important to note, however, that even after the procedure, you will need to have a well -balanced diet and regular exercise to keep the good shape of your thighs.
What kind of anesthetic is used during a thigh lift?
A thigh lift procedure is performed under general anesthetic and takes anywhere from two to four hours.
What is the thigh lift recovery process?
During your recovery from thigh lift surgery, dressing or bandages may be applied to your incisions, and you may be wrapped in an elastic bandage or a compression garment to minimize swelling and to support your new contours as you heal. Small, thin tubes may be temporarily placed under the skin to drain excess fluid or blood that may collect.
You will be given specific instructions that may include how to care for the surgical site and drains, medications to apply or take orally to aid healing and reduce the potential for infection, specific concerns to look for at the surgical site or in your general health, and when to follow up with your plastic surgeon.
