How long is the recovery?
After a surgical thigh lift, most patients experience minimal pain that is significantly reduced through medication and the drainage tubes will be removed few days after the surgery. Sutures will come out within a week to ten days, and the results of the thigh lift procedure are almost immediately noticeable. Any swelling usually disappears within two to three weeks.

Strenuous activities should be avoided for at least three weeks.
Are results permanent?
Yes, provided weight remains stable.
Will there be scars?
Scars are placed along natural creases and fade over time.
