Thigh Lift Surgery
There is nothing worse than losing a large amount of weight only to end up with slack or sagging skin around the thigh area that simply will not budge. Thigh lift surgery, although an extensive procedure, can effectively deal with this problem.
The procedure for thigh lift surgery
During the procedure, an incision is made around the groin area and the excess skin is pulled upwards before being removed. This procedure is carried out under general anaesthesia. Patients usually stay overnight in hospital following thigh lift surgery.
Recovery from thigh lift surgery
You can expect some bruising and swelling to occur as well as a tight feeling in the thighs. The bruising usually disappears after three weeks. Stitches are removed one week after surgery. To ensure the area heals well you will need to take great care of the operation scar, avoiding physical exercise for a month and taking two weeks off work.
