THIGH LIFT

WHO CAN UNDERGO THIGH LIFT SURGERY? * The right candidate for thigh lift surgery is: * A person who has a stable weight * A person with excessive soft tissue along the inner thigh and/or outer thigh * A person who does not smoke * A person who follows a healthy lifestyle, which includes fitness and proper nutrition * Importantly, the person should not have medical conditions that interfere with the healing process and increase the risks of surgery. ABOUT PROCEDURE The surgery is performed under general anesthesia or sedatives that are given through a vein. The choice of incision depends on the target area and the corrections needed. Different types of incision for the the inner thigh lift is: * An incision is created in the groin region, which extends downward and circles around the back of the thigh. * An incision is given inside the leg from the groin down to the knee to remove the excess skin. * An incision is given only in the groin area (minimally invasive surgery) For outer thigh lift, an incision is made in the groin region, which extends around the hip and across the back. The position of the incision is planned such that almost all clothes and swimsuits can cover them. The skin incisions are reattached with the help of sutures, clips, or skin adhesive tape. Absorbable sutures that dissolve within four months are used to close deep incisions. Whereas, for superficial incisions, non-absorbable sutures are used, which are removed in one to two weeks after the surgery. The results of the thigh lift surgery are evident immediately after the surgery. However, complete change is evident only after a few weeks, as initially, there can be swelling or bruising, which could last up to one month. RECOVERY TIPS Following measures may aid in speedy recovery: During the time of healing, prevent any excessive force or movement that could damage the surgical wound. Consult to the physician if you experience shortness of breath, unusual heartbeats, or chest pain.
