Thigh Lift Surgery in Bangkok, Thailand 

          A Thigh lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from either the inner or outer thighs. This surgery is often a desirable procedure after extensive weight loss, and when dieting or exercise fails to firm the loose skin. Liposuction may be used as an adjustment to the contouring of the inner thigh. If you are committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle and moderate weight, a thigh lift can help you regain the youthful thigh contours you desire.

A Good Candidate for Thigh Lift

• Healthy
• Realistic expectations can accept the incision scar of a thigh lift.
• Nonsmoking

Preparation for Thigh lift surgery

• Consult the surgeon to your goals, with a physical examination, lab test, chest x-ray, and a medical evaluation
• Take certain medications or adjust your current medications as instructed by your surgeon
• Stop smoking before and after surgery two weeks
• Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding

Thigh lift Procedure:

1. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia.
2.  The surgeon marks the incisions for the removal of excess skin and fat. Depending on the amount you desire, the incision may extend around the thigh or only part of the way around the inner thigh.
3.  After the incision has been made, the surgeon elevates the skin and fat off the thighs' underlying muscles, then removes excess skin and fat for reshaping the thighs. Drains may be placed beneath the incision.
4.  The incisions are carefully closed in multiple layers of strong sutures to minimize your scar. The surgeon uses a technique in which the sutures are beneath the skin and absorbed by your body. The skin will be stitched.

Thigh lift operation takes approximately 4-5 hours.

What are the risks associated with the Thigh Lift procedure?

A thigh lift, like any surgical procedure, carries certain risks. Some possible risks and complications include:

1. Infection: Any surgical procedure carries a risk of infection. This can be minimized by following your surgeon's post-operative instructions and by keeping the incision site clean and dry.
2. Hematoma or seroma: These are collections of blood or fluid that can occur under the skin after surgery. These can be treated with medication or by reopening the incision.
3. Numbness or tingling: Numbness or tingling in the skin of the thigh is a common temporary side effect of a thigh lift.
4. Scarring: Scars will be visible after the procedure, but they will typically fade over time.
5. Blood clots: Blood clots can occur in the legs or lungs after any surgery, and in rare cases, can be fatal.
6. Anesthesia risk: As with any surgical procedure that requires anesthesia, there is a risk of complications from the anesthesia
7. Unsatisfying results: The surgery may not meet the patient's expectations, either due to the patient's unrealistic expectations or due to the surgeon's technical issues.
8. Asymmetry: Because everyone's body is unique, it is possible that the final result may not be symmetrical, leading to dissatisfaction with the outcome.

It's important to discuss these risks with your surgeon in advance, to understand the potential risks and to make an informed decision about whether or not to proceed with the surgery.
