What to Expect With a Thigh Lift
Initial Consultation
Your thigh lift journey begins with a consultation at Refine, MD Northwest. During this consultation, Dr. McIntosh will discuss your goals, evaluate your thighs’ condition, and recommend the best surgical approach for you.
Customized Surgical Plan
We understand that every patient is unique. Whether addressing inner or outer thighs, our team will create a tailored plan to suit your specific needs and deliver optimal results.
Pre-Operative Preparation
We’ll provide you with detailed instructions to prepare for surgery. This may include adjustments to your medications and guidelines for post-operative care to ensure a smooth recovery.
The Procedure
A thigh lift is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes two to four hours. Depending on your needs, Dr. McIntosh may make incisions along the inner thighs, outer thighs, or groin area to remove excess skin and fat. The incisions are carefully placed to minimize visible scarring.
Post-Treatment Care
After surgery, patients may experience mild swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with medication. A compression garment is often recommended to support healing and reduce swelling. Most patients return to normal activities within four to six weeks.
