Thigh lift
It is common for women to gain weight in the inner thighs. Through physical exercises we can strengthen the muscles of the thighs, but they cannot avoid the sagging skin of the thighs. Genetics, weight loss, hormonal changes such as pregnancy or menopause, as well as a poor diet or little physical exercise can complicate the situation. However, if the problem is excess skin and sagging skin, the thigh skin tightening surgical procedure performed by our surgeons can tighten the area from the bottom of the buttocks down to the knees, creating a more beautiful appearance. and more toned thighs.
This case is more common in those people who have suffered great weight loss. If your weight is relatively stable and you are struggling with the soft tissue of your inner thighs, then you may be a good candidate for a thigh lift. The operation can be part of a more general rejuvenation plan and performed in combination with other procedures, such as liposuction and buttock reshaping. The thigh skin tightening operation is performed under general anesthesia and lasts 2 – 2.5 hours, depending on the complexity of the operation and other procedures that may be combined during this intervention.
Pre-Operative Preparation
- On the day you perform the consultation with the surgeon, you must inform the surgeon if you are allergic to any medication, as well as refer to the doctor if you are taking any medication for health reasons that may influence the performance of the surgical intervention;
- A few days before the operation, you will perform a series of pre-operative examinations which inform the medical staff about your health condition before the operation;

- Smoking must be stopped at least two weeks before the intervention;
- The patient must have taken a shower, remove gel or nail polish products the day before the operation, and not consume food or liquids at least eight hours before the intervention;

After the operation
Thigh lift surgery also helps improve skin quality as your thighs will already look more toned. Wearing a corset for a few weeks that keeps your thighs tight will help minimize swelling and speed up tissue healing in a few weeks. The thigh reshaping surgery scar is on the inner thighs and extends to the bikini area. At first the mark will be a little disturbing and visible, but over time it will fade to white or light brown after 6 – 12 months.
