Thigh Lift in Turkey

What is Thigh Lift surgery?

Thigh lift is a surgical procedure to reshape a patient's thighs to look firmer and smoother by removing excess fat and saggy skin. The operation may be performed along with liposuction if necessary.

Preparing for Surgery

1. Online and in-person consultations will be made to examine the patient, assess the medical history and to discuss the patient's expectations.
2. Before surgery patients should reach and maintain their ideal weight.
3. The doctor will make note of allergies, chronic diseases and regular medications used by the patient.
4. Blood tests will be carried out before the operation.
5. The anesthesist will have a consultation with the patient.
6. The patient should quit smoking and avoid alcohol a few weeks before surgery.
7. Patients must stop taking Aspirin and all other blood thinners, Omega 3 supplements and herbal teas.

The Surgical Process

Thigh lift is performed under general anesthesia and takes 2-3 hours. Incisions are made in different areas depending on inner vs outer thigh operation and excess skin and fat are removed.

The Post-Operative Process

• Drains may be inserted after surgery.
• Swelling and pain are expected and will be managed with painkillers.
