Thigh Lift Sydney

Patients who want tighter, slimmer, and more sculpted legs frequently undergo thigh lift surgery. One of the many advantages of this procedure include:

• More clothing options for patients who struggle to locate clothes that fit due to sagging, drooping thigh skin.
• The removal of excess skin causes a slight weight loss.
• Reduced risk of infection or skin irritation caused by chafing creases of the skin.
• Enhanced daily comfort for a better quality of life overall.
• Greater ease in personal hygiene, as thigh skin, tissue, and fat folds can be challenging to keep clean.
• Stay in shape by exercising more easily and with more options.
• An improved physical appearance that highlights patients’ successes with weight loss.
• More self-assurance and self-esteem, which can enhance all aspects of a patient’s life.

Thighplasty is an excellent option for many patients who want to enhance the appearance of their thighs, but you must first meet specific criteria. These standards increase your chances of succeeding in getting your desired result and assist in keeping you safe during the procedure. Generally speaking, you may qualify for a thigh lift if you:

• Possess excess skin and soft tissue on your thighs
• Maintain a stable weight and healthy diet
• Avoid smoking and excessive drinking
• Maintain good mental health
• Have realistic expectations for your procedure
• Can continue to maintain a healthy diet and exercise after your surgery to prolong the results

Before any cosmetic surgery in Sydney, Dr Yunaev may make a final assessment of your thighs to ensure you are free from infection and show no signs of weight fluctuation between your initial consultation and surgical date. Then, marks will be made on your thighs to serve as a surgical guide and help you to understand what to expect from the surgery. Your thighs will be cleaned to prep you for surgery. General or local anaesthesia combined with intravenous sedation will be administered to keep you relaxed and comfortable during the procedure.

To begin shaping your tissue, Dr Yunaev will make an incision in your thigh based on the type of thigh lift technique chosen and the particular surgical plan Dr Yunaev has developed with you. Small amounts of hard-to-remove fat deposits and soft tissue will also be removed via this incision. If you have more noticeable pockets of excess fat around your thighs, liposuction may need to be performed first. During this procedure, a small incision is made in your thigh, where a cannula is inserted to dissolve the fat, enabling it to be suctioned out. After removing all the fat and soft tissue, Dr Yunaev will trim and pull your skin taunt to give you a sleek, toned appearance. The thigh muscles may also be tightened to give the thighs a tighter, fitter appearance. Your incisions will then be closed using sutures, with drains inserted to prevent fluid accumulation and infection.

Immediately following your thigh lift, your incisions will be wrapped, and you will be fitted with a compression garment to keep your incisions in place. You may feel sore once your anaesthesia wears off entirely, but your prescribed medications should help manage any discomfort. Your thighs may also be swollen and bruised, which can be minimised by applying ice and cold compresses. Aspirin and ibuprofen should be avoided for at least two days due to their potential to increase bleeding risks. You should be able to walk around easily and have all of your prescriptions and supplies before leaving the hospital.

To ensure a safe and optimal recovery, Dr Yunaev will advise you of your aftercare plan, which may include:

• You will need to take up to three weeks off from work, and during this time, avoid driving.
• You will need assistance to perform regular activities, such as going to the bathroom.
• Position your body to prevent stretching your thigh tissue. Using pillows to alleviate pressure from your legs can be beneficial.
• Avoid climbing stairs, squatting or strenuous activities for at least two weeks.
• Take all prescribed medications and wear your compression garment until fully healed.
• Attend all follow-up appointments to remove your drains and sutures and monitor your healing.
• Do not resume your regular exercise regimen until six to eight weeks after surgery.

Although a thigh lift is often a safe treatment and most issues are easily treated, certain dangers are involved. Before your thigh lift, Dr Yunaev will go over any potential risks and drawbacks with you so that you can make an informed decision and learn how to prevent them.
