Thigh lift surgery (Leg Lift) is a permanent aesthetic procedure that tightens the sagging in the upper leg area, especially after excessive weight loss or aging. This operation aims to remove skin sagging and excess fat tissue rather than just shaping the legs. Op. Dr. Görkem Çalışkan eliminates the looseness in the inner thighs, allowing you to achieve a tighter, smoother, and more aesthetic leg profile.
Thigh Lift Aesthetics
How Does the Surgery Process Work with Op. Dr. Görkem Çalışkan?
Thigh lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes an average of 2-3 hours. During the examination, Op. Dr. Görkem Çalışkan determines the most appropriate surgical technique according to the degree of sagging. The excess skin and fat tissue causing the sagging are removed, and the inner thigh is tightened. Incisions are usually hidden in the groin area or under the hip fold. In very advanced sagging, the incision may extend towards the knees, but these scars are masterfully hidden in the body’s natural folds.
Post-Surgery Recovery and Hospital Process
The hospitalization period after surgery is generally 2-3 days. You will be safely discharged after the thin drains placed to collect tissue fluids inside are removed. It takes only 7-10 days to return to your normal daily activities, such as sitting and walking comfortably.
Corset Usage and Healing of Scars
To increase the success of the surgery and support the new leg form, it is recommended that you use a special corset for 2 months after the surgery. It takes an average of 2 months for the surgical incision scars to fade and blend in with your normal skin color.
