Leg Lift Surgery
Leg lift at a glance
What is Leg Lift Surgery?
Leg lift is also called thigh lift or thighplasty. It is a surgical procedure designed to tighten the thigh area. This operation corrects both the outer and inner thigh regions using advanced surgical techniques.
The surgery employs muscle and skin repositioning methods. Skin is lifted and tightened significantly. Excess skin and fatty tissue are removed. Usually, thigh circumference reduces by 7-10 centimeters after the surgery. Thigh appearance improves noticeably and dramatically.
You achieve proper body contours and proportions. Your legs look longer and more contoured. Thigh friction when walking is completely eliminated. This prevents skin irritation and discomfort.
Indications for Leg Lift
Patients seeking thighplasty typically want to address specific concerns:
- Sagging skin in the thigh area
- Loose skin on the inner thigh surface
- Excessive fat deposits in the thighs
- Loose, stretched skin with poor elasticity and tone
Contraindications for Thighplasty
Leg lift surgery has the following contraindications:
- Acute infectious diseases
- Chronic diseases in active exacerbation phase
- Cancer tumors or oncological conditions
- Blood clotting disorders
- Polyvalent allergies to medications
- Uncontrolled or decompensated diabetes mellitus
- Pregnancy and active breastfeeding period
How Leg Lift Surgery is Performed
Leg lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia for patient comfort and safety. The surgical time does not exceed 3 hours. Additional liposuction may extend the duration.
First, the surgeon marks the patient's body carefully. Excess skin areas are identified precisely. Excess skin is then removed through planned incisions.
Two surgical techniques are available. Each has specific advantages. The choice depends on excess skin amount and preferences.
Technique 1 uses a medial incision approach. It extends from the buttock fold to the groin. Stitches remain hidden in natural body folds. This is the most preferred approach. Results look more natural with this method.
Technique 2 uses a T-shaped incision pattern. This removes more excess fat and skin. Scars may be more visible. This method is less commonly used now.
Recovery Period and Expectations
After surgery, a compression garment is applied immediately. Wear it for one full month continuously. Stitches are removed after 2 weeks.
Complete recovery lasts 4 to 6 weeks. Follow all surgeon recommendations strictly. Avoid physical exertion completely.
Avoid strenuous activities and sports. Avoid hot baths, saunas, and steam baths. Keep incisions dry and clean.
Wear compression garment consistently throughout recovery. Pain and swelling are normal after surgery. These improve significantly after the first week.
You can gradually return to light activities. Most patients resume normal activities by week 6. Compression support reduces swelling faster.
Proper wound care prevents infection. Follow-up appointments monitor healing progress. Surgical scars fade gradually over months.
Final results improve for several months. Thigh skin quality improves with time. Circulation normalizes gradually after surgery.
Final contours settle after 3-6 months. Long-term results remain stable and lasting. Patient satisfaction is typically very high.
