How is a thigh lift performed?
Thigh lifts are performed by Dr. Jessica Belz in San Antonio, TX. Patients will be put under general anesthesia for their treatment. The incision will be made in an area where it can be hidden under clothing, ensuring that there is no obvious scarring left behind from the procedure. However, this is discussed with the patient prior to treatment, as patients may need to have an incision in an area that is noticeable depending on how the area is being treated. This is discussed with patients during their initial consultation prior to undergoing the procedure.
After the procedure, patients will need to follow the aftercare instructions supplied by their doctor. In most cases, patients will wear a compression garment on the thigh area to help in minimizing swelling. Patients can often resume light activities and return to work after about two weeks following the surgical procedure. Patients need to be cleared by their doctor for more strenuous activity such as exercise, which is often around the one month to six-week mark. Patients will also be advised to visit their doctor if any unusual changes occur that may indicate a problem that needs attention.
