Thighplasty General Information: thighplasty
is a procedure to remove excess skin and fat from either the inner
or outer thighs of individuals in whom liposuction alone will not
correct the aesthetic deformity. Candidates for thighplasty are
usually those who have had extreme weight gains and losses or have
developed laxity due to age. The thighplasty removes lax skin and
fat and places the scars in locations that can be hidden within
the bikini line. Like any surgical procedure there are risks and
benefits that will be discussed at your consultation.
Length of Surgery: 2 to 4 Hours
Location: Accredited Surgery Center or Hospital
Anesthesia: General or local with sedation
Recovery Time: The patient can usually return
to work in 1 to 2 weeks depending on the individual. Exercise and
strenuous activity may be done at 4 to 6 weeks following surgery.
Post Operative Results: Each patient heals
differently; however following the surgery patients may experience
temporary pain, swelling, possible bruising, soreness and fatigue.
The incisions will fade and flatten with time. It has been our experience
that patients are very happy with their post op results and their
new look.
Helpful Surgery Hints: Be in good mental
and physical health. Any herbal medications must be stopped 2 weeks
prior to surgery. Discontinue any use of Aspirin and anti- inflammatory
drugs two weeks before surgery. Maintain a healthy diet, exercise
regularly and do not smoke. Female patients taking birth control
pills must stop taking the pills one month prior to surgery and
one month after surgery. Help improve healing by taking our surgical
pre and postoperative vitamins.
