Thigh Lift: Smooth, Sculpt, and Redefine Your Contours

A thigh lift (thighplasty) is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the thighs, restoring a firmer, more contoured look. Ideal for those who experience sagging skin due to aging, weight loss, or genetics, a thigh lift enhances the shape of the thighs and boosts your confidence. Whether it's the inner or outer thighs, this procedure can provide a smoother, more sculpted appearance that complements your body’s natural contours.

Types of Treatment

Leading Up to Your Procedure

To ensure the best possible outcome and smooth recovery, proper preparation for your thigh lift surgery is key. Here’s what you should do before the procedure:

Quit Smoking

Smoking significantly impairs the body’s ability to heal and increases the risk of complications. To optimize your recovery and reduce the risk of infection, we strongly recommend quitting smoking at least 4-6 weeks before your surgery, and refraining from smoking during your recovery period.

Discontinue Contraceptive Pills

For your safety, all contraceptive pills must be stopped at least one month prior to surgery. This is necessary to reduce the risk of blood clots and to support optimal circulation during your procedure.

Limit Alcohol Consumption

Alcohol can interfere with anesthesia, increase swelling, and slow down the healing process. To ensure a smoother surgery and recovery, please limit alcohol intake at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure and refrain from drinking during your recovery period.

Stop Blood Thinners, Supplements, and Herbal Teas

Blood-thinning medications, certain supplements, and herbal teas can increase the risk of bleeding during surgery. Please stop taking these at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure. Always consult with your surgeon about any medications or supplements you're currently taking to ensure a safe and effective surgery.

Payment Details

Payments for your procedure should be made in cash. Bank transfers should be done 7 days prior to arrival and if you prefer to pay by credit card, a processing fee will be added to the total amount, and the payment must be processed before your arrival in the country.

Visa Arrangements

If you're traveling from abroad, ensure that you have the appropriate visa for entry into Turkey. If your country requires a visa, feel free to reach out to our team for assistance—we're happy to help with the process.

Dietary Recommendations

A well-balanced, nutritious diet is key to supporting your body’s healing process. Eat nutrient-rich foods in the weeks leading up to your surgery to help strengthen your immune system and prepare your body for the procedure.

Prepare for Post-Surgery Recovery

It’s important to prepare a comfortable, quiet space for recovery at home. Take time off from work and avoid any strenuous activities to ensure your body can focus on healing. Having a cozy space to rest will help support a quicker and more comfortable recovery.

Quit Smoking

Smoking can slow healing and increase the risk of complications. It’s advised to stop smoking at least 4-6 weeks before surgery and during recovery.

Discontinue Medications

Some medications, especially blood thinners, should be stopped before surgery. Discuss all medications and supplements with your dentist.

Limit Alcohol Consumption

Alcohol can interfere with anesthesia and recovery. Avoid drinking for at least 1-2 weeks before the procedure.

Arrival at the Hospital

Upon arrival, you’ll check in, and our team will guide you to the pre-operative area where you’ll change into a surgical gown. Your vital signs will be monitored before the procedure.

Blood Tests and Medical Review

A routine blood test will be conducted to ensure you're in optimal health for surgery. This helps assess key factors like blood clotting and general health, which are essential for a safe surgery.

Consultation with Your Surgeon

After the tests, you’ll meet with your surgeon to finalize the details of your procedure. This is your opportunity to ask questions and confirm your goals. Your surgeon will mark the areas of your thighs to be treated.

Markings and Preparation

Pre-Surgical Sedation and Anesthesia

Depending on the complexity of your surgery, you will be given either general or local anesthesia to ensure you remain comfortable and pain-free during the procedure.

The Surgery

During the thigh lift, your surgeon will make an incision in the thigh area, typically along the inner thigh or groin crease. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining tissue is tightened for a smoother, more toned appearance. The procedure usually lasts 2-4 hours, depending on the extent of treatment.

Arrival at the Hospital

Upon arrival, you'll check in and be escorted to a pre-operative area. You’ll change into a gown, and your vital signs will be monitored.

Consultation with Your Dentist

You’ll meet with your dentist to confirm the details of your procedure. This is the time to ask any final questions about your aesthetic goals, the procedure, and the recovery process. Your dentist will also mark the areas to be treated.

Pre-Surgical Sedation and Anesthesia

For most procedures, local anesthesia will be used to numb the treatment area. If needed, light sedation may also be provided to ensure your comfort.

The Procedure

Depending on the procedure (Smile Makeover, crowns, veneers, or implants), your dentist will take the necessary steps to prepare your teeth. This may involve removing damaged or decayed portions of the teeth, placing temporary crowns or veneers, or placing dental implants.

Post-Surgery Care

After the procedure, you’ll be moved to a recovery area, where you’ll be monitored as the anesthesia wears off. Comfort and safety are prioritized during this phase.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a thigh lift and how does it work?

A thigh lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the thighs to improve their appearance. The surgery tightens and sculpts the skin, helping to restore a firmer, more youthful contour. It is especially effective for individuals with sagging skin caused by aging, weight loss, or genetics.

2. Who is a good candidate for a thigh lift?

Ideal candidates for a thigh lift are individuals with excess, sagging skin on the thighs, often due to aging, significant weight loss, or genetics. Candidates should be in good overall health, with stable weight, and realistic expectations about the results. It’s not a weight-loss procedure, but rather a body contouring treatment.

3. What is the recovery time after a thigh lift?

Recovery time varies, but most patients can return to light activities within 1-2 weeks. Full recovery usually takes about 4-6 weeks. During this time, swelling, bruising, and some discomfort are normal, but these side effects will gradually subside. Your surgeon will provide specific instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

4. Are the results of a thigh lift permanent?

Yes, the results of a thigh lift are generally long-lasting, as long as you maintain a stable weight. However, significant weight fluctuations or aging may affect the appearance of the thighs over time. A healthy lifestyle is key to maintaining your results.

5. Is a thigh lift painful?

Thigh lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. After surgery, you may experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising, which can be managed with prescribed pain medications. Most patients report minimal pain after the first few days.

6. How long will it take to see the final results of my thigh lift?

It typically takes several months for the final results of a thigh lift to fully appear. While initial swelling will subside in the first few weeks, your thighs will continue to improve in shape and tone as they heal. Full results are generally visible around 6 months after surgery.

7. What is the difference between a facelift and a mini facelift?

A full facelift targets both the lower face and neck, lifting more tissue for a more dramatic result, while a mini facelift focuses on the lower face and is less invasive with shorter recovery time.

7. Will I be able to breastfeed after breast reduction surgery?

It is possible to breastfeed after breast reduction, but the ability to do so may depend on the technique used and how much tissue is removed. Discuss this with your surgeon prior to surgery to understand the potential impact on breastfeeding.
