How do plastic surgeons do thigh lifts?
Day of the surgery your vital signs will be checked. The anesthesiologist will review your medical history and perform a directed physical examination. Dr. Capella will place markings on you while standing up. An inner thigh lift procedure takes approximately two hours. Usually the procedure begins with liposuction and is followed by the removal of excess skin. Sterile dressings are placed on the incisions followed by an elastic garment that goes from the waist to just above the knees. Patients are usually ready for discharge from the recovery area approximately 4-6 hours following the procedure; however, it is necessary to have an escort drive you home.
