Thigh Lift Surgery
If you've experienced a loss of skin elasticity in the thigh, hip, or buttock areas, or if you're self-conscious about sagging, flabby, or dimpled skin, a thigh lift may be the right solution for you. This procedure can address concerns such as orange peel skin texture, excess skin, and irregularities in the skin's surface. It is also ideal if you notice a dramatic improvement in your thigh's appearance when you lift the lax skin.
A thigh lift is designed to tighten and smooth the skin in these areas, improving the overall contours of the thighs and buttocks, and ultimately boosting self-confidence.
The Thigh Lift procedure
The procedure typically takes around 2 hours and is performed under general anesthesia, though some cases may allow for alternative anesthesia options, depending on the specifics of the surgery.
There are several incision designs available to meet personal or clothing preferences, ranging from smaller incisions to larger ones. When lifting the inner thighs, the incisions are usually small and located in the groin crease, extending around the buttock crease. In some cases, circumferential tightening is required, which involves a vertical scar. Often, liposuction is performed in conjunction with a thigh lift to further enhance the contouring and results.
Mr. Ho-Asjoe will assess your unique needs and guide you through the available options to achieve the best outcome for you.
Aftercare and recovery
- Compression Garment: Following the surgery, a compression garment is provided to help reduce swelling and support the skin's natural tightening process.
- Pain Management: For smaller thigh lifts, discomfort is typically manageable with prescription pain medication. Larger thigh lifts may require one or two nights of care in a skilled nursing facility or hospital for pain control and monitoring.
- Bruising and Swelling: These symptoms usually subside within a month, and most patients can return to strenuous activities after about 6 weeks.
- Full Recovery: Most patients report that all symptoms resolve within 4 to 6 months.
