Loose skin in the thighs can cause discomfort if it rubs against your skin when you walk, leading to rashes, skin irritation, and other hygiene problems.
More About the Thigh Lift Procedure
There are numerous techniques for how this procedure is performed, and your plastic surgeon will discuss them with you beforehand to determine which will lead to the greatest results. Generally, a thigh lift is performed at a surgery center or a hospital, under general anesthesia, and takes roughly two hours. Following surgery, discomfort, bruising, and swelling are to be expected for the first few weeks, and are controlled by medication. Swelling may last longer. Those who opt for a thigh lift will receive detailed instructions from their surgeon that should be closely followed to avoid adding tension to the affected area. A compression garment will also be needed for up to a month and a half following a thigh lift.
