Thigh lift is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat deposits developed after a significant weight loss.
How is it performed?
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The approach depends whether the surgery is aimed at reducing the skin from the inner or outer thighs.
After preparation of the skin and subcutaneous fatty tissue up to the fascial layer, the surplus is reduced and the remaining skin tightened so that the thighs resume their youthful look. The scar itself remains in the groin area, or in the lower body which can hidden under panties.
How long does it take?
The surgery takes about 2 hours to complete.
What is the recovery time?
A full recovery may take from 6 to 8 weeks. Any strenous physical activity should be avoided for the first 4 weeks. The sutures are removed after 2 weeks.
How long will the results last?
Usually, this surgery can provide permanent results, especially in women who are fully motivated to maintain their reduced body weight after the procedure.
