Choosing to Get a Thigh Lift: Who's a Good Candidate?

A thigh lift can be successfully performed by Dr. Kara on many patients who deal with excess skin and fatty deposits in the medial and upper thighs. Dr. Kara performs this procedure to reduce the circumference of the thigh and to tone the skin by removing the excess tissues.

In order for Dr. Kara to move forward with a thigh lift, you should be:

• A non-smoker
• At a stable body weight
• Motivated to have and maintain a better body

Your Thigh Lift in Toronto

During your consultation with Dr. Kara, he will outline the customized procedures he will use for your thigh lift, but the surgery usually takes two to three hours to complete. During this time, you will be under a general anesthetic or a local anesthetic with sedation. When he begins your thigh lift, Dr. Kara will make an initial incision in your inner leg crease, where it will be minimally visible. He may then use liposuction in Toronto to remove localized fat deposits. At this point, excess skin will be removed. This will allow Dr. Kara to redrape the skin of your thighs to create a more toned and taut appearance. At the end of sugery, Dr. Kara will close the incisions with sutures and apply surgical tape and compression garments, which will help minimize swelling and maintain the new slimmer contour of your thighs.

Results and Aftercare for a Thigh Lift

When you leave Dr. Kara's Toronto plastic surgery practice, he will give you specific aftercare instructions to follow. He will ask you to walk one day after your surgery, but to avoid most exercise for about two weeks. You may have drains in place to collect fluid accumulations and will need to wear the compression garments for a few weeks. You may experience swelling and discomfort and Dr. Kara will prescribe medication to help you manage any pain. After four to six weeks, you will complete your recovery and as any lingering swelling dissipates, you will see the beautiful results of your thigh lift.
