Before the operation:
Before thigh, lift surgery:
- Your doctor will ask you about your current and past medical condition, the medications and supplements you are taking as well as any surgery you have had previously.
- The doctor examines and takes pictures of the thighs, to determine the appropriate surgical procedure for them.
- Discuss with your doctor your expectations and hopes for the operation and what end result you desire.
- You should refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol for at least 30 days before the procedure.
- Fasting completely for 8 hours before the procedure.
About the process:
Anesthesia is general in a thigh lift. The doctor makes the necessary incisions based on the type of thigh lift chosen and on the amount of skin to be removed. Next, the doctor removes excess skin and fat cells and then places stitches to close the incisions.
The whole procedure takes on average about two hours. It is best to have a companion who will pick you up to and from the operation and accompany you overnight in case of complications.
After the operation:
You may start walking a week after the surgery but:
- Avoid strenuous sports and physical activities for 4 weeks. Avoid smoking for a quicker recovery.
- You may experience mild pain that can be controlled with painkillers.
- You can bathe on the second or third day after surgery.
- There may be some bruising or mild swelling of the inner surface of your legs, but it disappears completely after about several weeks.
- You can return to work about a week after surgery
