Who is the right candidate for a thigh lift?

Those who have lost a lot of weight and are in good physical health are strong candidates for the procedure. The transformative potential of a thigh lift can be significant. Excessive weight loss results in significant changes, such as loss of skin elasticity, specifically in areas known to store fat, like the thighs. This may cause dimpled skin (cellulite), skin rashes, discolouration, bleeding, and loose, sagging skin. If you experience these signs, you should consider an assessment to determine if you qualify for surgery.

How do you perform a thigh lift?

With utmost care, the surgeon creates an incision in the groin area. Depending on the surgical technique, the cut can run all the way around the back of the thigh or down closer toward the knee. After removing fat from the region, your surgeon will delicately readjust the position of the tissues, tighten surrounding muscles, and trim extra, loose skin. Sutures are used to secure the tissue within the thigh to reinforce its new shape, ensuring a safe and successful procedure.

After the procedure, you will be transferred to the recovery unit until the effects of the anaesthetic have worn off. To ensure a seamless recovery, you must adhere to the post-surgical instructions your surgeon provides.
