As with any plastic surgery, small scars may remain. The main purpose of leg stretching surgery is to give the inner leg area a tighter and more aesthetically pleasing appearance. For this purpose, excess fat must be removed with vaser liposuction. So light scars remain on the skin.
In standing position, the amount of excess and sagging skin is determined. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes 2-3 hours. First, the excess fat is removed through vaser liposuction. The tissues are loosened even more and the stretching process is ensured to be faster and without bleeding. An incision is then made in the inguinal fold to hide the scars as much as possible. The incision is extended downwards, ie towards the knee, according to the amount of excess skin. The remaining skin in the lower region is lifted up and the accumulation on the knee is corrected. The incision is closed with sutures. The patient stays in hospital under observation for 1 night and is discharged the next day after the doctor’s control.
The procedure does not result in severe pains. You might have mild pains, which can be controlled with painkillers.You can stand up the same day and you need to stay 1 overnight in hospital.You can have a bath on day 2 or 3 after the surgery.After having a thigh lift surgery, you might have mild bruising and swelling in inner surface of your legs, which are expected to resolve completely after several weeks.
After the procedure, short walks can be done and you can return to your social life after 1 week. Hot places such as sauna, pool and Turkish bath should be avoided for 1 month after the surgery. After the leg stretching procedure, it is necessary to use a medical corset for 1 month. In order to achieve the desired result within this period, the use of the corset should not be interrupted.
