What Is Thigh Lift?

Leg lift – thigh lift, also known as thighplasty, is a type of procedure that involves the removal of loose skin and fat from the thighs, usually preferred in case of sagginess on the leg due to various reasons, such as aging or weight gain. This procedure may also be what you are looking for if you suffer from thighs that continuously rub against each other, which results in pain and irritation. After your thigh lift procedure in Turkey, you will have smooth-looking legs that are fitting to your aesthetic appearance and preferences. In some cases, a thigh lift may need to be accompanied by a liposuction for better results. Thighplasty can also be used for the repair of wounds caused by trauma.

What Is the Recovery After Thigh Plasty?

After your thigh-leg lift in Turkey, dressings and bandages will be applied to your incisions for better healing, as well as a type of drainage to get rid of excess fluid or blood that might collect in the area. You can expect discomfort and mild swelling for the first 24-48 hours, and you must keep your legs elevated as much as possible for the first week. Patients usually need to take it easy for the first 2-3 weeks. You will likely need to wear compression garments for six weeks following the surgery, but you can expect to go back to your regular physical activities within that time frame. The specialist will give you detailed, specific instructions regarding the healing process, at-home care, and medications for pain management. Your stitches will be sensitive to factors such as movement, temperature, and touch, so it is crucial to carefully follow all the aftercare instructions given by the expert.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are thigh lift techniques?

Thigh lift techniques vary depending on the placement of the incision and the place where the removal is made. This is patient-specific and can only be determined after examination. Depending on your situation, you might get an inner thigh lift incision or an outer thigh lift incision. One of the techniques creates incisions in the groin, which extend downward and wrap around the back of the thigh.

One other option is that you may qualify for a minimal incision inner thigh lift which involves an incision only in the groin area.

Is a thigh lift painful?
