Techniques used
Dr Hunt uses a number of thigh lipectomy surgery techniques, depending on the areas of concern:
Inner (medial)
thigh lift
The inside of the thighs are very difficult to shape through exercise. An inner thigh lift involves an incision along the junction between the thigh and pubic area to remove loose skin and any excess fat.
Outer (lateral)
thigh lift
This procedure removes extra skin on the front and outside of the thigh.
Inner (medial)
thigh lift with liposuction
This procedure removes extra skin at the top of the inner thigh, with the effects extending further down the inner thigh than a thigh lift alone.
Why Patients Might Consider Thigh Lift Lipectomy Surgery
There are a number of different reasons for patients to opt for a thigh lift lipectomy. Some reasons include:
- Correction of cosmetic concerns about loose skin
- Improved mobility resulting from skin removal
- Reduction in chafing and skin irritation due to excess skin
Recovery after Thigh Lipectomy Surgery
The recovery period after thigh lift surgery can take several weeks post op. During this time, make sure to take the analgesic medication to alleviate the pain and discomfort.
It is best to avoid strenuous physical activities during the first two weeks after thigh lipectomy surgery and make sure to take time off from work to allow your body to heal. Here are more recommendations for the recovery period after surgery:
- Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol for at least two weeks
- Avoid steam rooms and saunas
- Have a healthy and balanced diet
- Keep the incisions site clean and dry at all times
- Keep your body hydrated
To avoid risks and complications that could occur during the recovery period make sure to follow Dr Hunt’s indications.
