Many people have excess skin around their thighs after they lose weight. This can be very
difficult to cope with, especially since some people exercise and diet for years before they
are able to reach their goal weight. A thigh lift is a procedure that can remove pockets of fat
and skin from the thighs, which will help create a smoother appearance.
It is very important for patients to make the right decision regarding surgery. During the initial consultation, Dr. Zieg will discuss your personal goals as well as pre and post-op expectations.
It takes one or two hours to perform a thigh lift. This procedure is performed under general anesthesia. There are a variety of ways that a thigh lift can be performed. The surgical technique that is used is contingent upon the patient’s goals. Liposuction may also be used to remove fat pockets.
It usually does not take that long for a patient to recover from a thigh lift. The vast
majority of patients will be able to return to their normal activities within one or two weeks.
Compression garments will need to be worn for a few weeks after surgery because that will
help control the swelling.
