This is how it works with thigh plastic surgery / thigh lift:
1. Consultation & planning for thigh plastic surgery / thigh lift
When you come to us for the first time, you will see a doctor. There is time here for questions, concerns and to adjust your expectations. It is of the utmost importance to us that you feel safe and have confidence in us.
During the consultation, you will also see pictures of similar procedures that have been done here at Conturkliniken® in Stockholm. For some of our treatments, we have computer-simulated illustrations of the likely treatment result.
If you decide to have an operation, we will plan it together. We draw up a plan for how the treatment should go and in what order the treatments should be done. We also talk about how the result should be taken care of. Everything to make you as satisfied as possible.
2. Preparations for thigh plastic surgery / thigh lift
You will receive detailed instructions on how to prepare for thigh plastic surgery. You will receive information about how to fast, rules for smoking, use of vitamins, medicines and other preparations.
The day before the operation, we have telephone contact for a final review of what will happen on the day of the operation.
3. The procedure itself
Thighplasty/thigh lift, with or without liposuction, is performed under general anesthesia and is considered a major operation that involves incisions around the upper part of each thigh. The incisions leave visible scars, but they heal and become less visible over time.
4. The time after thigh plastic surgery / thigh lift
Thigh plastic surgery/thigh lift is considered a major operation and you should carefully follow the recommendations you receive from us at Conturkliniken. You should avoid heavy physical activity and lifting for at least four weeks after surgery. Be careful not to stretch so that it pulls on the stitches and causes unnecessary stress with the risk of scarring. However, it is important that you get up and moving already the day after the operation.
If you do not live near the clinic, we recommend that you spend a night at or near the clinic.
