Thigh lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance and contour of the thighs. It involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the thighs, resulting in slimmer and more defined legs. This procedure is beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or have sagging skin due to ageing. Thigh lift surgery can enhance the appearance of the legs, improve comfort, and boost self-confidence.
During the procedure, you will be given general anaesthesia. Our cosmetic surgeon will make the appropriate incisions based on the type of thigh lift you’ve chosen. They will then remove excess skin and fat cells before inserting sutures to close your wounds. Then, they will apply dressings to the incisions to reduce swelling. The procedure usually takes about 2 hours on average, including pre-operative and post-operative care.
Recovery from Thigh Lift surgery may require several weeks. Dr Pinky may also introduce a tube to facilitate the drainage of excess blood and fluids. And you will have to wear compression garments and full results become more apparent as swelling subsides. Expectedly, you may encounter discomfort, bruising, and swelling for a few days post-surgery. Initial thigh contour improvements are visible, but full results may require several months.
