Initially, there will be swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medication. Wearing a compression garment helps reduce swelling and supports the healing process. It's essential to avoid strenuous activity for several weeks and follow your surgeon's instructions closely. Gradually, you'll notice a reduction in swelling and discomfort, and the final results will become apparent over time.

Meticulously Sculpted

What is the thigh lift procedure like?

During a thigh lift, incisions are strategically placed, typically in the groin area and extending downward, to remove unwanted skin and fat.

The extent, location, and length of the incision vary depending on several patient factors, including the amount and distribution of excess tissue. The remaining tissue is then carefully reshaped and tightened to improve the overall contour of the thighs. Once the desired shape is achieved, the excess tissue will be removed and the incisions closed prior to a compression garment to reduce swelling and support optimal healing.
