THIGH LIFT
Miami
Considering how often women bare their thighs in bikinis, short shorts, and miniskirts, it’s no wonder that so many of them seek out a thigh lift. Continue reading to learn more about this plastic surgery procedure, and call us to schedule an initial consultation with one of our plastic surgeons.
WHAT IS THIGH LIFT SURGERY?
A thigh lift can be a varied plastic surgery procedure. For patients who have recently lost a significant amount of weight, and upper thigh lift focuses on lifting the skin of the inner thigh. A bilateral thigh lift conversely addresses the front and outside of the leg. For some patients, both approaches are performed during the same surgical session.
Slim and trim patients seek out this surgery as well. For some, there is no amount of exercise that will reduce the appearance of the upper inner thighs touching together. A medial thigh lift addresses this concern.
ARE YOU A CANDIDATE FOR A THIGH LIFT?
Candidates for this surgery should:
- Have excess skin and fat in the inner, outer, or front thighs, or have their upper inner thighs touching despite their diet and exercise regime.
- Be in good general health and able to pass a pre-op appointment with their primary care physician.
- Be in good psychological health.
- Be non-smokers, as tobacco usage can both complicate surgery and the recovery process.
RECOVERING FROM THIGH LIFT SURGERY
Since this surgery is so varied, recovery periods will differ from patient to patient. Generally speaking, you should take at least seven to ten days off work or school to rest and recover, during which time you should take prescription or over-the-counter medications to minimize side effects including bruising, swelling, and discomfort. You should abstain from exercise for four to six weeks after surgery, or until your plastic surgeon clears you to resume physical activity.
