Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

Thigh lift surgery is a specialized body contouring procedure designed to improve the appearance of the inner thighs by removing excess skin and fat tissue. Patients typically seek this procedure after significant weight loss, which can result in loose, sagging skin in the inner thigh region.

Procedure Details

• Performed under general anesthesia
• Same-day discharge
• Addresses excess skin and fat in inner thigh area

Recovery and Healing

Recovery from thigh lift surgery involves a structured timeline for healing and return to normal activities. Most patients experience the following recovery progression:

• 7-10 days: Majority of initial discomfort subsides
• 3-6 weeks: Clearance to resume vigorous exercise
• 6-12 months: Surgical scar maturation

Surgical Approach

The procedure involves placing a long, curved scar at the upper aspect of the inner thighs. This strategic placement helps minimize visible scarring while effectively addressing skin laxity and contour irregularities.

Candidate Considerations

Ideal candidates for thigh lift surgery should be in overall good health and currently non-smokers. A comprehensive consultation and examination will help determine individual suitability for the procedure.
