Following a thigh lift, patients may be up and around the very next day – it is advised movement begin this soon to prevent blood clots. You will be asked to wear a compression garment for about three weeks, although you will most likely be able to resume normal activity within a few days. For rigorous activity, exercise and heavy lifting, Dr. Placik recommends a 4 – 6 week waiting period. Please e-mail or call our Chicago or Arlington Heights plastic surgery offices for more information on our cosmetic body contouring procedures.
