Dr. David J. Wages, based in Peabody, MA, performs thigh lift surgeries for patients seeking firmer, more contoured thighs when fitness and weight control efforts have not achieved desired results. Combining the thigh lift procedure with liposuction, Dr. Wages enhances leg shape, providing a smoother, more proportional look.

Overview

Ideal Candidate:
The thigh lift is suitable for individuals who maintain a stable weight, have excess soft tissue along the inner or outer thigh, are in good health, and hold realistic expectations. Ideal candidates are also committed to a healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition and regular exercise.

Procedure Details:
Thigh lift surgery removes excess skin and fat to reshape the thighs, resulting in smoother skin and a well-proportioned thigh and lower body contour.

• Location: Peabody, MA
• Duration: 5 to 6 hours
• Anesthesia: General anesthesia
• Recovery: Patients should rest on the day of surgery, with light activity resuming within 5-10 days. Vigorous activity, including exercise, is restricted for three weeks, although brief, low-stress walking is permitted.

Preparation
Two weeks before the procedure, patients meet with Dr. Wages for a consultation to finalize measurements, review the procedure, and prepare all necessary paperwork. Smoking cessation is strongly advised to ensure optimal healing.

Patient Experience
From the initial contact, Dr. Wages and his team provide guidance and information regarding the procedure. The consultation includes a thorough examination with bio-dimensional measurements, ensuring a personalized plan. Dr. Wages’ team approach supports patients in achieving their aesthetic goals.

Recovery
Following surgery, patients are encouraged to take it easy and closely follow Dr. Wages' post-operative instructions for a safe recovery. As swelling subsides, improvements will become visible, with full healing expected in 6-12 months.
