Consultation for Thigh Lift Treatment at ParisSurge Clinic

During your thigh lift consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss your medical history and share your concerns, habits, and expectations with the surgeon. The doctor may take photos of your lower body and measure your thighs to assess the best possible approach for your procedure. Together, you will discuss the most suitable treatment plan to achieve your desired results. You will also receive guidance on how to prepare for the surgery and plan for your recovery.

Your surgeon will recommend specific pre-surgery guidelines, including:

• Maintaining a healthy diet and engaging in regular exercise
• Stopping smoking at least three weeks before the surgery
• Avoiding anti-inflammatory medications, including those with aspirin, to reduce the risk of excess bleeding (consult your physician before stopping aspirin)

By following these steps, you'll help ensure the best possible outcome from your procedure.

Procedure for Thigh Lift Treatment at ParisSurge Clinic

A thigh lift typically takes around two hours and is performed under general anaesthesia on an outpatient basis. The incisions made during the procedure can vary significantly depending on the type of thigh lift and the patient's unique needs. Your surgeon will discuss the most effective incision options for your specific case. Common types of thighplasty include inner thigh lift, bilateral thigh lift, and medial thigh lift.

Inner Thigh Lift

An inner thigh lift focuses on the inner thigh area, addressing exercise-resistant fat and sagging skin that reduces skin elasticity. The incision is made at the junction where the thigh meets the pubic area, making the scar easily hidden by underwear. A small amount of excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is pulled up to tighten and contour the legs.

Bilateral Thigh Lift

The bilateral thigh lift (also known as the outer thigh lift) is designed to tighten the skin on the front and outer areas of the legs. The incision is typically made at the top of the leg where the lower edge of bikini bottoms or underwear sits, creating a V-shape. Depending on your needs, the incision may extend around the hip or buttock areas. After removing a certain amount of skin, the remaining tissue is pulled up and smoothed for a more toned, youthful appearance.

Medial Thigh Lift

A medial thigh lift targets the upper portion of the inner thigh to tighten both skin and fat. The incision is made from the groin to the crease of the buttocks. Excess skin and fat are then removed, lifting the skin to improve the contour and appearance of the upper inner thigh.

Post-Surgery Recovery for Thigh Lift Treatment at ParisSurge Clinic

After your thigh lift surgery, dressings or bandages will be applied to your incisions, and small, thin tubes may be placed temporarily under the skin to help drain any excess fluid or blood that may accumulate. Swelling and discomfort are normal, and your surgeon will prescribe painkillers to help manage any discomfort.

For the first six days after the surgery, you should avoid walking or engaging in any vigorous activities. Although you may experience some pain around your thighs, it typically begins to subside after two days.

Our team will provide you with detailed recovery instructions to ensure a smooth healing process, and we will be available to address any questions or concerns you may have along the way.

After-Care Protocols For Thigh Lift Treatment

In order to have successful long-lasting results it is important to follow the below:

• Take medication as prescribed by the surgeon.
• Use ice packs to reduce swelling. You will be given a compression garment that you should wear for at least two weeks to minimize swelling.
• Keep your legs elevated as much as you can for the first week after the surgery.
• Avoid physical and athletic activities with your arms that might stretch the incisions for at least four weeks after surgery.
• Contact your doctor immediately if you experience shortness of breath, chest pains, an irregular heartbeat or redness of the skin and a fever.
• When you are going to start your walk, you will witness mild swelling in your ankles, but this will subside in about three weeks.
• You should follow all the exercise patterns and special sleeping techniques suggested by the surgeon for a speedy recovery.
• It is important to attend the follow-up appointments with your doctor to keep your track of your progress.
