Recovery
Patients typically return home the same day as their thigh lift procedure. For the first few days after surgery, you may experience discomfort, which can be managed with medication. You can shower two days after thigh lift surgery. For the first five weeks after surgery, swelling may persist. Your plastic surgeon will let you know when you can safely resume work and other regular activities.
Risks
As with all surgical procedures, complications may occur following thigh lift surgery. These risks may include pain, skin loss, complications from the anesthesia, poor results, blood clots, infection, wound healing difficulties, prolonged swelling, or bleeding. To minimize the occurrence of complications and to ensure the success of your procedure, always choose a board-certified plastic surgeon.
