Thigh Lift

Thigh Lift | Antalya

A thigh lift is one of the body contouring surgeries aimed at shaping and slimming the area from the knee to the groin.

Why Do People Need Thigh Lift Surgery?

This surgery is often requested after significant weight loss and, in some cases, after weight gain. Excess skin and sagging in this area can cause discomfort while walking or wearing clothes. Patients request this surgery for both functional and aesthetic reasons.

How Is the Surgery Performed?

The area of excess skin to be removed is planned prior to the surgery. To achieve an ideal shape, the incision may sometimes extend toward the groin or the buttocks.
The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia. Initially, liposuction is applied to the area where the skin will be removed. Occasionally, additional liposuction is performed in other areas of the thigh, ensuring effective slimming. Drains are generally avoided in this procedure.

Techniques Used

While liposuction alone may suffice for thigh slimming, it is often combined with skin removal. The choice of technique primarily depends on the quality and amount of excess skin.

Pre- and Post-Surgery Care

Pre-Surgery Consultation: Detailed consultations before the surgery are vital to understand your expectations and plan the process effectively. During these discussions, we will determine how the procedure will be performed, the techniques to be used, and the recovery process. Avoiding smoking and ensuring blood pressure control is essential.

Preparation Process: Preparation involves blood tests, health checks, and pre-surgery nutritional recommendations.

Post-Surgery Recovery:

• Keeping the thighs elevated post-surgery is highly recommended.
• Swelling and sometimes bruising may occur but typically resolve within 1–2 weeks.
• The use of compression garments and lymphatic massage is highly beneficial.
• Avoid excessive physical activities and protect the thighs from sun exposure.

Pain and Discomfort: Mild pain may occur but is rare and manageable with prescribed medication.

Follow-ups and Monitoring: Regular check-ups are essential to monitor recovery and address potential complications early. Thigh lift surgeries may leave scars; therefore, avoiding smoking, protecting scars from sunlight, maintaining a healthy diet, and using prescribed wound care creams are critical. Due to the anatomy of the thigh, there may be contour variability. My team and I will support you throughout the post-surgery process and answer any questions you may have.
