Inner Thigh Lift Goals, Expectations Risks And More
Combination Surgery; Fat And Loose Skin. Major weight loss can occur naturally via diet or “synthetically” via cosmetic surgery such as tummy tuck, liposuction or even the more radical gastric stomach by pass operation to reduce your stomach by 90%. Losing 80 to 100 pounds or more means that previously ‘taut’ skin around your upper legs and buttocks will eventually retire into loose sloppy and dimply folds of skin. Not a pleasant sight. But with a thigh lift surgery, you have a proven technique to safely reduce this unsightly skin. You’ll look better and feel better about yourself. Medial thigh lift surgery often combines with liposuction or abdominalplasty in order to correct huge fat deposits and loose skin at the same time.
• Screening Your Health. After you’ve interviewed and selected your thigh lift surgeon, you’ll be given an extensive physical exam. Skin health and elasticity, absence of surface infections or skin texture abnormalities, absence of cold or flu are key health measures.

• Medications To Avoid. Inner thigh lift surgery is serious. Incisions will be made. You’ll receive a general anesthetic. Avoid any use of aspirin or cold formulas carrying anti-histamines… both these agents ‘thin’ your blood, which could pose risks during your thigh lift procedure.
• How You Look After The Surgery. You’ll feel tender, bruised. Expect to wear some support tight-fitting support garment for several weeks. At first move around slowly, and carefully. It will be weeks before you can resume any serious exercise.
• Thigh Lift Surgery Risks. All surgery carries similar ‘generic’ risks. Make sure that your doctor explains to you the possible impact areas such as bruising, bleeding, swelling and tenderness, infection, scarring and even potential nerve damage and numbness. All these risk factors are carefully managed, but you need to remain mindful of them in terms of your expectations.
• Insurance And Money Factors. Typically, medial thigh lift and buttocks surgery falls outside the coverage of health care insurance. Assume that your surgery will be ‘coded’ as elective rather than prescribed or doctor-ordered surgery. Result? Get a cost quote, and a financing plan from your surgeon because your thigh lift procedure will be a direct out-of-pocket cost to you. Thigh lift procedure is considered a Class IV cosmetic surgery procedure. In Class IV operations requiring over 4 hours, the sorts of procedures anticipated include thigh lift, face lift with upper and lower lids and coronal lift, multiple procedure combinations. Operating room costs plus general anesthetic would be approximately $2,200.
