Thigh Lift - Cosmetic Surgey Abroad, Prague, Czech Republic.
An inner thigh lift will remove loose skin and lift the remaining skin. Liposuction will reduce fat volume, but may worsen the
appearance of your inner thighs if your primary problem is skin laxity. If your problem involves loose skin with poor tone, A thigh lift will be best. If your problem is excess fat, then liposuction is most appropriate. If your problem is both loose skin and excess fat, you may attempt inner thigh lift with liposuction.
This procedure should be carried out by a surgeon with relevant skills and experience.
The best candidates for inner thigh lift are those who loose excess inner thigh skin. You should be physically healthy, psychologically stable and realistic in your expectations. Your age is not a major consideration. The best time to consider inner thigh lift is after you have stabilized your weight through diet and exercise.
Preparation for Inner Thigh Lift
Pharmaceuticals containing acetylsalicylic acid (Acylpirin, Aspirin, and Anopyrin etc.) should not be used for 3 weeks before the Face Lift cosmetic surgery, as they decrease clotting time of blood. In case you are a smoker you are advised to stop smoking or at least to cut down on cigarettes. Smoking slows down recovery process and it can also increase a risk or complications.
The plastic surgeon usually uses classical stitches, which need to be removed in 21 days after the surgery. After 2 weeks, you patient can return to everyday activities, avoiding strong physical efforts. In 4 weeks you may slowly resume exercise. Any bruising and swelling will usually dissipate within 1–2 months.
Your newly tightened inner thigh skin will loosen slowly in response to gravity. In 10 years, you might need another inner thigh lift. If you lose weight, your skin may become lax, and you may be ready for another lift sooner.
Bruising or inflammation of the treated area is common, but this will disappear over time. Final result is seen after your scars have matured, approximately 6 months.
You might also feel unhappy after a few days. This is normal and is caused due to the stress, general anaesthetic, lack of patience with the healing problems, more pain than you expected or the fact that because you underwent inner thigh lift cosmetic surgery abroad you miss your home and family.
However, the specific risks and the suitability of liposuction for a given individual can be determined only at the time of consultation. All surgical procedures have some degree of risk. Minor complications that do not affect the outcome occur occasionally. Major complications are rare.
