Thigh lift is a surgical procedure that aims to contour and tighten the thighs by removing excess skin and fat.<\/p>

Thigh lift procedure can be beneficial for individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight, or those who have loose skin and cellulite in the thigh area due to aging or genetics.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Before undergoing a thigh lift, patients will typically have a pre-operative consultation with their surgeon to discuss the procedure and ensure that they are good candidates for surgery.<\/p>

Prior to the thigh lift surgery, patients will need to follow certain pre-operative instructions, such as avoiding certain medications and supplements that can increase the risk of bleeding, stopping smoking, and arranging for transportation to and from the surgery center.<\/p>

Patients may also be advised to make certain lifestyle changes, such as losing weight or adopting a healthy diet and exercise routine to optimize their results and reduce the risk of complications.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>

After the thigh lift surgery, your leg(s) will be bandaged to maintain their shape while the skin heals to the tissue underneath. Sutures and possibly a drain may be used to aid healing.<\/p>

Discomfort and swelling are common, so it's important to rest and avoid excessive leg motion.<\/p>

Most people can return to work after a week.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>

All surgical procedures\u00a0involve inherent risks, including swelling, bruising, bleeding, infection, fluid accumulation, numbness, and scarring.<\/p>

This surgery carries a specific risk of pulmonary embolism from the release of fat or blood clots into the bloodstream, although this is a rare occurrence.<\/p>

While the incision at the hip will leave a scar, it will fade over time and can be concealed by a bathing suit.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"template":"","protseduuride-kategooriad":[34],"class_list":["post-874","protseduur","type-protseduur","status-publish","hentry","protseduuride-kategooriad-body"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/niraxmedicaltravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/protseduur\/874","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/niraxmedicaltravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/protseduur"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/niraxmedicaltravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/protseduur"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/niraxmedicaltravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/protseduur\/874\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10137,"href":"https:\/\/niraxmedicaltravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/protseduur\/874\/revisions\/10137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/niraxmedicaltravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=874"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"protseduuride-kategooriad","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/niraxmedicaltravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/protseduuride-kategooriad?post=874"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
