About the Procedure
Liposuction can be performed to improve the appearance of the areas adjacent to the skin reduction. An incision is made in the groin area and under the buttocks for the inner thigh lift. For an outer thigh lift, the incision is made over the hips and buttocks. Excess skin is removed, followed by repair of the deeper tissue. Occasionally, drains are used to help prevent buildup of fluid in the thigh area. Dressings and an elastic pressure garment complete the procedure.
A thigh lift is performed using general or epidural anesthesia, and an overnight stay is generally recommended. Recovery for a thigh lift is usually 7 - 10 days. Exercise can be resumed after 6 weeks.
