The upper part of the legs loses its tension due to reasons such as weight gain and loss, aging, and birth, and loosening and sagging occur in the inner thighs. If these sagging and irregularities are severe, leg (thigh) lift surgery is performed.
It can generally be performed with other surgeries under general anesthesia, as well as with local anesthesia. It is necessary to restrict post-operative activities for 2-3 weeks.
The scars formed in the groin area as a result of this surgery are important. Although it is often made to be hidden in a bikini or swimsuit, it may drop a few centimeters over time due to gravity. With an incision made from the groin area towards the back, the skin and fat tissues are removed in an ellipse shape. Then the tissues are brought together and stitched.
Since the suture line is in a naturally moist and contamination-prone area such as the groin area, there may be wound healing problems. Postoperative care and treatment are as important as the decision for surgery. Since dissolvable suture materials are preferred, there is no need to remove stitches.
