Thigh (Leg) Lift Surgery

What is Thigh (Leg) Surgery?

Thigh lift surgery is an aesthetic surgical procedure performed to tighten and lift the skin and fat tissue in the thigh area, in order to achieve a firmer and more contoured appearance. This surgery is usually performed to correct loose skin and muscle tissue that result from aging, weight loss, or pregnancy. Inner thigh lift surgery is a safe and effective method to improve the shape of the body.

How is Thigh (Leg) Lift Surgery Performed?

Inner thigh lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes around 2-3 hours. The skin is cut to access the underlying fat and muscle tissue, which is then stretched and tightened. Excess skin is then removed and the incisions are closed with sutures. Painkillers and antibiotics may be required for several weeks after the surgery. The recovery period can vary from person to person, but typically takes several weeks or months. The following steps are taken during the procedure:

Anesthesia: General anesthesia is administered to the patient before the surgery.

Skin incision: The skin is partially or fully cut. The location of the incision depends on the patient’s preferences and the surgeon’s recommendations. In most cases, the incision is made from the back of the buttocks towards the inside of the legs.

Stretching of fat and muscle tissue: The fat and muscle tissue underneath the skin is tightened through the stretching process. The necessary amount of stretching is performed to improve the shape of the thigh area.

Removal of excess skin: After the fat and muscle tissue is stretched, excess skin is removed and closed with sutures. The surgeon tries to keep the incision sites as small as possible.

Sutures: The incisions are closed with sutures. The sutures can be self-absorbing or need to be removed, depending on the surgeon’s preference and the patient’s recovery process.

After the inner thigh surgery, the patient typically stays in the hospital for a few days and follows home care recommendations during the recovery process. Pain, swelling, and bruising may occur after the surgery and the recovery process may take several weeks or months.

Before and after thigh lift surgery

Taking certain precautions and following recommendations before and after thigh lift surgery is important for a successful operation and recovery process.

Before inner thigh surgery:

You should have a medical examination before the operation to determine if the surgery is suitable for your health condition. You should follow your surgeon’s recommendations and ask all your questions before the operation.

Blood-thinning drugs like aspirin, estrogen-containing medications, and herbal supplements should not be used. These substances can increase the risk of bleeding during surgery. Additionally, alcohol and smoking should be avoided. You should inform your surgeon about any other health issues before the operation. You should develop appropriate nutrition habits before and after the operation, and pay attention to adequate and balanced nutrition.

After thigh lift surgery:

The drugs given by the doctor after the operation should be used regularly. These drugs are given to reduce pain and the risk of infection. Legs should be kept elevated after surgery, and activities such as walking and heavy lifting should be avoided. During the post-operation recovery period, wound care should be done according to your surgeon’s recommendations, recommended creams should be used, and protection from sunlight should be observed. Regular follow-up examinations should be performed after surgery. During these exams, your surgeon can evaluate the recovery process and intervene if there are any problems.

The recovery period after thigh lift surgery may vary from person to person. However, by following your surgeon’s recommendations and regularly getting follow-up examinations, you can facilitate your recovery process.
