Surgery: Thighs Lifts
The incision is made along the inner thigh area, which may extend from the inner knee to the groin.
In some cases, where additional lift is needed, the incision may carry on along either the femoral line or buttock fold.
The excess skin is then carefully removed.
Patients undergoing a thigh lift or rm lift can go home after one night.
Planning Your Surgery
Before you decide to go ahead with an arm or thigh lift, we will offer you a thorough one-to-one medical consultation with a surgeon who specialises in this type of surgical procedure.
Let us know about any medical conditions and allergies you may have and whether you are a smoker. Tell us about any medications, herbal supplements or natural supplements you are taking (both prescription and non-prescription). We will need to ascertain that you are not prone to scarring problems such as keloids (scars which enlarge to form firm, smooth, hard growths).
Preparing For Your Surgery
Your surgeon will explain the options available for achieving the best result according to your individual case and your personal preferences.
For example, if the amount of loose skin is minimal and the excess fat deposits are located below your navel, a short horizontal incision may be all that is necessary.
In some cases your surgeon may recommend liposuction as well as a tummy tuck to remove abdominal fat.
All Surgery Carries Some Uncertainty and Risk
As with all surgery, there is always a possibility of complications, including infection, a reaction to the anaesthesia, haematoma, seroma, nerve damage and the occurrence of asymmetries or irregularities. When you have your consultation you will have ample opportunity to ask your surgeon about any risks.
