Who is an Ideal Candidate for a Thigh Lift?
One of the most important things to remember about the thigh lift is that it is not a weight loss solution, and should not be viewed as such. The ideal candidate for a thigh lift will be at or near their ideal weight, but is having difficulty accomplishing a fit and toned look in the thighs. Dr. Cappuccino will work closely with you to guide you through your various options, and he won’t hesitate to recommend an alternative treatment if he thinks that the thigh lift is not the right option for you. There are multiple options for thigh lift incisions, and Dr. Cappuccino will help you weigh the pros and cons of each technique.
If you anticipate significant weight loss in the near future, it may be advised that you wait until this journey is complete.
The Day of Your Surgery
Your thigh lift will be performed under general anesthesia, which means you’ll be asleep and will feel no pain throughout the duration of the procedure. A thigh lift surgery usually takes between two and a half and four hours to complete, depending on the specifics of your treatment.
To begin, Dr. Cappuccino will remove excess skin and suction away unnecessary fat using a liposuction technique. These incisions are relatively small, and the unwanted fat is suctioned out with a vacuum tube known as a cannula.
Your skin will be repositioned for a more youthful, lifted appearance, and Dr. Cappuccino will carefully close your incisions. You’ll have a compression garment on your thighs to support the healing process and minimize swelling.
Recovery After a Thigh Lift
You’ll need to be driven home by a friend or family member as the effects of your anesthesia wear off. Dr. Cappuccino will ensure that you have medications to manage pain and discomfort as you heal. Most patients are able to return to their normal routines within two to three weeks of their surgery, and you’ll be given a specific timeline for returning to your regular day-to-day activities.
