Leg stretching – thigh stretching operation is a procedure applied in case of sagging skin on the inside of the legs due to old age or weight gain. After the procedure, smooth-looking legs are obtained in accordance with the aesthetic appearance of the person.
Before the leg stretching process, a plan is made according to the skin quality and sagging rate. During the procedure, a hidden T-shaped incision is made along your thigh in the groin area, and excess skin is removed and sutured.
These stitches are hidden on the inside of the leg. The corset, which is the most important part of the healing process, should be worn for a minimum of 1 month.
Thigh lift is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1-2 hours. A drain is inserted during your hospital stay. Rest in the hospital for 1 day. You are allowed to take your first shower 2 days after the procedure. In the first week, it is recommended to keep your legs above the level of your heart while lying down.
In order to avoid unnecessary edema, it is necessary to take controlled walks frequently. As with all other surgical operations, you should not smoke. There is a seam mark, but it is not visible as it is on the inside of the leg.
