Who is a candidate for thigh lift procedures?
The best candidate for any plastic surgery is a healthy adult man or women who has imperfections of the body that make them feel self-conscious. The thigh lift is just one of many facial and body procedures available at the practice of Dr. Jessica Belz, but has grown in popularity as patients have learned more about plastic surgeries.
How is the thigh lift procedure performed?
First, patients are urged to book a consultation appointment with Dr. Jessica Belz to speak to her about their unique needs. Once patients have decided to have the thigh lift procedure performed, they will schedule a surgical date. During the surgery, which is performed with general anesthesia, the doctor will start with a liposuction procedure to remove excess fat and contour the area. Then, excess skin is addressed by pulling it tight and removing the extra skin. Then, the skin is tightened and sutured to complete the procedure.
What can I expect after the procedure?
It is important that patients obtain aftercare instructions from their doctor prior to leaving the office. Aftercare reduces the risk of infection or side effects, and often includes the use of a compression garment for several weeks. Activity may be reduced or eliminated until patients have healed appropriately and have visited Dr. Jessica Belz for their follow-up appointments.
