How is a Thigh Lift Performed? 

Dr. Lawton will customize your thigh lift surgery based on the extent of your loose skin and your desired results. She has performed many thigh lift procedures and has experience providing excellent results and minimizing visible incisions as much as possible. The thigh lift removes excess skin and lifts the remaining skin to tighten the area and eliminate folds, creases, and sagging. 

What Is Recovery Like From a Thigh Lift? 

You will need someone to give you a ride home after your procedure and be available to help you for the first few days. You will have some pain, swelling, and bruising in the thigh area that starts to resolve within the first week or two. You will have a compression garment to wear during this time to help your skin tighten and heal. Most people can return to work in two or three weeks. Strenuous activity will need to wait several more weeks, so you do not put stress on the healing areas.
