THIGH LIFT EAST LANSING, MI | RICK J. SMITH, MD

UNDERSTANDING THIGH LIFT PROCEDURES

Thighs can be highly susceptible to the adverse effects of aging and
dramatic weight loss. A thigh lift procedure helps restore and enhance
body contours, creating the desired shape and aesthetic appearance.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

A thigh lift is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin
and fat from the inner or outer thighs. The operation is performed
under general anesthesia and typically takes approximately two hours
to complete.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

 	* Incision made extending from groin to hip area
	* Possible inclusion of buttocks fold incision
	* Excess skin and fat are carefully removed
	* Remaining skin is tightened and contoured

COMPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES

Thigh lift surgery can be effectively combined with liposuction to
target stubborn fat deposits resistant to exercise and diet. The
procedure may also be performed alongside buttock enhancement or lower
body lift surgeries.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

The thigh lift is conducted on an outpatient basis. Patients can
anticipate temporary soreness, swelling, and bruising following the
procedure. Most individuals can return to work within one week, though
strenuous lifting and exercise should be avoided for several weeks.

RECOVERY TIMELINE

 	* Initial return to work: Approximately 1 week
	* Restricted physical activities: 2-3 weeks
	* Full recovery: Up to 3 months
