Thigh lift surgery is performed to reshape the thighs by eliminating excess fat and skin, thereby making the skin smoother and giving better-proportioned contours to the thighs and lower body. If weight control and fitness efforts have not accomplished your goals for a firm, more youthful-looking and a more proportionate body, then a thigh lift plastic surgery may be ideal for you.
Why is Thigh Reduction Surgery Done?
Thigh lift surgery is done if the excess fat and skin makes a person uncomfortable or leads to mobility problems. The surgery gets rid of the loose, sagging skin as well as the extra fat in the thigh area.
What to Expect Before Thigh Lift Plastic Surgery
Before getting ahead with the surgery, the surgeon will take a detailed medical history, give thorough preoperative instructions, answer any questions the patient may have, and also perform a physical exam to determine the patient’s fitness for surgery. Furthermore, the surgeon will learn whether the patient has maintained a stable weight for a noteworthy period since regaining weight can risk the effects of the surgery. The patient is also expected to avoid taking aspirin, some herbal medications, and certain anti-inflammatory drugs that can increase the rate of bleeding.
What to Expect During Leg Tightening Surgery
During the thigh reduction surgery, the patient is given some medications to keep him/her comfortable during the procedure. Local anaesthesia along with sedation may be provided, but general anaesthesia is mostly used for this surgery. To modify the body tissue, the plastic surgeon makes an incision into the thigh, according to the type of thigh lift the person has opted and the agreed-upon custom surgical plan. Using this incision, the surgeon removes small amounts of stubborn fat deposits along with soft tissue. If an individual has a significant amount of unwanted fat in their thighs, then the surgeon may need to first perform liposuction. Once the plastic surgeon has completed removing soft tissue and fat, he or she will then pull the skin taut and trim it, giving it a smooth and svelte appearance. The surgeon then closes the incisions with suture and place drains to avoid infection and fluid accumulation.
What to Expect After Thigh Fat Removal Surgery
Following a thigh lift surgery, there occurs some swelling, soreness, and bruising, but the contours are visible immediately. The patient can also feel some tightness and discomfort for the initial 48 to 72 hours after thigh fat removal surgery, but they start to feel normal after the third day. Prescribed painkillers can help eliminate this discomfort. Before discharging the patient, the surgeon makes the patients know about the various ways to deal with the minor side effects of the thigh lift plastic surgery.
Advantages of Leg Tightening Surgery
Though the results of a thigh lift surgery are unique to each person; a person can expect to get the following benefits:
- The body appears more shapely as well as proportional
- The thighs appear firmer and youthful, with a curvaceous appearance
- Clothing fits better than before
What You Need to Know About Thigh Reduction
Though complications and risks from thigh lift surgery are infrequent; they do occur. The common dangers include reactions to the anaesthesia, bleeding, fluid accumulation, and infection. These dangers are experienced with various types of plastic surgery procedures that need incisions. Some other risks are skin discolouration, asymmetrical or bumpy aesthetic results, and reduction in skin sensitivity. Scarring is also possible in some cases, although the incisions are deliberately made in a natural skin crease to minimise the potential for visible scarring.
