Thigh Lift Operation (Surgery) Procedure in Turkey

Why is a thigh lift needed?

The thighs are where both legs are separated apart from each other and the flabby skin in this area or the presence of fat, creates physical and visual problems. Dressing could be a challenge because of the irregularities in this area and due to the fact that between legs is where we also sweat, the sweat remaining between the skin causes odour, and rubbing skin results in diaper rash. These both affect the social and psychological state of the person negatively and after the thigh lift operation patient could have a body that they have desired.

Goals in thigh aesthetics

Surgical procedure aims to reshape the thigh area and achieve a good contour as well as removing as much of the adipose tissue and sagging skin as possible. However, tension should be kept reasonable, as excessive tension in this area would cause the stitches to open up.

Thigh lift pre-operation

Unlike other surgeries, thigh lift does not require a preparation period. Anybody who does not have any health condition that could prevent surgery can have a thigh lift. Routine preliminary tests and physical examination could be performed on the morning of the surgery.

What are the different types of thigh lifts?

Medial thigh lift surgery

If sagging skin is not excessive in the thigh area, than this type of surgery is commonly practised. Skin on the upper part of the thigh is removed only and the scars would be in the groin to be hidden under the underwear.

Classic thigh lift surgery

If the sagging skin is extending up to the knee than this type of surgery is performed. The scar would be from the groin to the edge of the knee and since the scars will remain on the inside of the leg and will turn into skin colour over the time and there would be no discomfort.

Preparation For Surgery

Preoperatively, patient is marked on upright and lying position for the skin that needs to be removed. Also the incision scar is planned during marking.

Thigh Lift Operation Procedure

In general the surgery is performed under anesthesia.

In the first stage, if the patient has accumulated adipose tissue, it is taken out by liposuction. Then the excess tissues in the marked area are removed. Drains are used to remove the blood or serum that will accumulate inside, these drains are usually removed on the second day. The incisions are closed so that they remain on the inside of the thigh. A trace is formed in the form of a straight line. Stitches are usually internal stitches and do not need to be removed. The operation is completed by applying a thigh brace or bandage to the patient.

Post-Operative Period

Drains would be removed on the first day and hospital stay of 2 days would be sufficient for patient’s recovery. The use of the corset for three to six weeks is necessary for smoother shaping and even after the operation the scars are visible, they will become more indistinct between six months to a year.
