Thigh Lift Surgery - Abu Dhabi
A thigh lift, also known as thighplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to improve the appearance of the thighs by removing excess skin and fat and tightening the underlying tissues. It is typically done to address issues such as sagging or loose skin on the inner or outer thighs, particularly after significant weight loss or due to the effects of aging.
During a thigh lift procedure, an incision is made in the groin area, extending downwards toward the knee or across the buttock crease, depending on the specific technique used and the extent of correction needed. Excess skin and fat are then removed, and the remaining skin is tightened and repositioned to create a smoother, more contoured appearance. In some cases, liposuction may also be performed to further sculpt the thighs.
Thigh lift surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia, and it may require an overnight hospital stay, although some cases can be done on an outpatient basis. The recovery period varies depending on the extent of the procedure and individual factors, but it generally involves some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated area. Patients are advised to follow post-operative instructions provided by their surgeon, which may include wearing compression garments, taking prescribed medications, and avoiding strenuous activities for a certain period of time.
As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications associated with thigh lift surgery, including infection, bleeding, poor wound healing, scarring, asymmetry, changes in sensation, and the possibility of revision surgery. It is important to consult with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon to discuss your specific concerns, goals, and any potential risks before deciding to undergo a thigh lift or any other cosmetic procedure.
