Thigh lift procedure: important information

A thigh lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the thigh area. This process enhances the softness and texture of the skin in the thighs, knee area, and legs. Liposuction can be combined with a thigh lift to remove stubborn fat deposits. This cosmetic surgery may be suitable for you if:

Sagging thighs have an impact on your psychological state.
You suffer from sagging skin on your thighs and knees after severe weight loss.
You have fat deposits and pockets in your thighs.
You suffer from cellulite or lumpy skin.
You have a rash from sagging thighs.

Dr. Ahmed Abdel Gawad confirms that this procedure is suitable for both men and women, as men have become more concerned with their physical appearance and body symmetry than ever before.

There is a lot to talk about regarding surgery.

Frequently asked questions.

When would thigh lift be done?

A thigh lift is often performed on people who have lost considerable

amounts of weight but are unable to achieve their ideal body image

due to excess skin. The result is firmer contours that give the legs

and lower body a more youthful appearance. Although liposuction

can sometimes be combined with a thigh lift to remove stubborn

pockets of fat that the patient has been unable to shift through diet

and exercise; it should not be used a weight loss replacement.

The best results of a thigh lift are seen on patients who have a

stable weight.

Do men have thigh lifts or is this just for women?

This type of surgery is suitable for both men and women.

In fact more men than ever are considering booking in for surgery

on many different area of their body – a thigh lift being no exception.

Should I have liposuction surgery or a thigh lift?

This depends on what you are hoping to achieve.

If you are struggling with stubborn fat cells that you are unable

to get rid of, liposuction would be better suited at resolving the issue.

Whereas if your problem is excess skin; a thigh lift would

be the most effective solution. Mr El Gawad will offer you a free

consultation for a thigh lift in Manchester, Liverpool, Bolton

or Newton Le Willows. He will advise you on the best course

of surgery depending on your individual case.

Will I be awake during thigh lift surgery?

Thigh lift surgery is usually done under general anaesthesia.

This means you will be totally asleep during the operation.

Expect to be asked to avoid food or anything to drink for several

hours before the operation takes place.

What happens immediately after surgery?

Your wounds will be dressed with bandages.

Sometimes small tubes may be placed under the skin to aid

fluid drainage and reduce the amount of swelling.

(These drains are usually removed a few days after surgery.)

Before you are discharged from hospital, you will be shown how to

care for the wounds, what medications you should for pain relief,

how to monitor your wounds for signs of infection, will you need to

have your stitches removed or have dissolvable ones been used,

when you will be able to resume normal physical activity, and when

you should book in with Mr El Gawad for a follow-up visit.

Will I have to wear a compression garment?

You usually will be asked to wear a tight fitting body compression

garment for a while after surgery

to help reduce swelling and to help support the thigh area.

When can I get back to normal?

The answer to this question depends on the circumstances

of the individual patient. Mr El Gawad will give you advice based

upon your physical health, the extent of the surgery, the level of

support available to you at home, and the industry in which you work.

For example, office workers who sit at a desk can return to work

sooner than someone who works on a building site. Generally

speaking, you should take a minimum of 2-4 weeks off from work to

facilitate as full a recovery as possible.

When will I see the results?

You will see results almost straight away! The quality of your skin

will look and feel improved immediately.

However, due to bruising and swelling, it can take anywhere from

several weeks to a few months for the full results to be visible.

You will have some scarring, but the results of a thigh lift last

for a very long time. The results will remain for as long as you

are able to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle. Please

understand however that natural aging will cause skin all

over your body to lose some of its firm, youthful appearance.

This includes your thighs even after you have had a thigh lift.

But please note that most of the improvements this surgery brings

will remain despite the aging process.

Specific risks.

Bleeding

This usually happens in the first few hours to a few days. 
This may require a return visit to the theatre.

However, the chances of re-accumulation are inevitable.

Loss of sensation

This usually corrects itself within a few months.

Although in severe cases it could be permanent.

Scarring

Scarring complications could occur which are permanently

asymmetry, widened, red or lumpy. No guarantee about the quality

of the scar. No control what so ever on the individual body healing.

Sutures

Sutures may spontaneously surface to skin and needs removal.

Asymmetry

The thighs are naturally asymmetrical, therefore please don’t

expect mirror image thighs. A degree of asymmetry would be expected.
