Thigh Lift aims to recover the sagging tissues in the area between the knee area and the groin. Usually, after losing excess weight, the skin and subcutaneous tissues in the thigh region from the knees to the groin sag due to the irresistible effect of gravity. This situation causes an appearance that upsets the patients and difficulties in choosing clothes. Tightening the appearance of wrinkled skin with increased surface irregularities after sagging is possible with thigh lift aesthetics.

The thigh lift operation is performed with a horizontal scar that will remain in the inner parts of the groin or a vertical scar that will not be visible when viewed from the opposite side and will remain in the inner part of the thigh. In the examination to be made by your doctor, the most appropriate method will be preferred by evaluating your skin elasticity, the amount and localization of your sagging. Thigh lift surgery takes 1-2 hours under general anesthesia. You can leave the hospital the same day, but you may need to stay for 1 day if your doctor advises you.

If used, you may see plastic pipes coming out of the surgical field and plastic medical supplies called “drains” at their ends. These are placed in the surgical field to prevent the accumulation of blood and other fluids and are removed by your doctor 1-2 days after the thigh tightening surgery. You don't need to be afraid, they don't hurt much when they are removed, and you can take a bath 1 day after they are removed.

Patients can return to their daily routine and work within 5-7 days after thigh lift surgery. However, heavy exercise should be avoided until 6-8 weeks later. A corset or elastic bandage should be used for 4 weeks after the surgery.

The first opening and changing days of the dressing may differ from surgeon to surgeon. Generally, the dressings are opened 2-3 days after the operation and 2 dressings can be made with an interval of 2-3 days. Afterwards, you can apply the corset or bandage directly on the wounds. It is possible to take a bath after the first day the dressing is changed, but if 2 days have passed since the surgery, it is possible to take a bath even though the dressing will not be changed.

Since it is an operation that only intervenes in the skin and subcutaneous fat tissue, it does not cause severe pain (but there may be pain that can be controlled with painkillers in the postoperative period).

Aesthetic results can be better when thigh lift surgery is applied together with liposuction.

Thigh lift aesthetics prices vary due to many variables (technique and difficulty to be applied, anesthesia to be used, hospital where the surgery will be performed, etc.) and therefore, get information about thigh lift surgery prices from your doctor for the most accurate prices.
