Thigh Lift (Leg Lift)

Aging and frequent weight gains and losses can cause uneven distribution of fat and sagging skin on the thighs, as well as all parts of the body. This is most evident in the inner and front part of the thigh. As in the arm lift, in the thigh lift, in cases where the excess skin and deformation are low, the desired result can be achieved simply by performing liposuction. However, in general, the inner thighs do not respond adequately to liposuction.

Thigh lift surgeries are performed with incisions in the groin or inner thigh. The incisions that are made from the groin are the ones that fit the bikini line. It is suitable where deformation and buckling are relatively low. The disadvantage is that wound healing problems are more frequent. Incisions made from the inside of the thigh are suitable in cases where skin flaccidity is more severe. The scar that runs along the inner surface of the thigh remains. However, wound healing is usually complete without any problem. In addition, the permanence of the result is greater with this technique.

Thigh lift surgeries are performed under general anesthesia. You will need to stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 days and wear a brace for at least 3 to 4 weeks. After 1 week, you will be able to do your daily work. For heavy exercises, we recommend waiting an average of 6-8 weeks.
