Thigh Lift Surgery (Thighplasty) is a cosmetic procedure aimed at removing excess skin and fat from the thigh area to improve its contour and appearance.
Preparation: Before the surgery, patients should attend a pre-assessment appointment to evaluate their general health and discuss any medications they are taking. It's important to follow specific instructions regarding fasting before the surgery and to arrange for transportation home, as driving immediately after the procedure is not advisable.
Procedure: Performed under general anaesthesia, the surgeon makes incisions on the inner or outer thigh, depending on the type of thigh lift. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining skin is tightened. The procedure typically lasts between 2 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity.
Recovery: Post-surgery, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the thigh area. Compression garments are often recommended to reduce swelling and support healing. Resting and limiting physical activity for the first few weeks is essential, with gradual mobility increases. Full recovery typically takes 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the individual, with adherence to post-operative care and follow-up appointments crucial for the best outcome.
