Thigh Lift Surgery | Thigh Reduction (Thighplasty)

• Do you have sagging skin on your upper legs (wobbly thighs)?
• Do you have unsightly wobbly inner thighs?
• Do you want to reduce your loose, flabby skin around your thighs?
• Do you have excess skin folds hanging between your legs?
• Have your legs sagged ‘overnight’?
• Do you have excess skin on your inner or outer thighs and buttocks?
• Do you hate your wobbly legs?
• Do you have excess thigh skin after weight loss surgery?

Then you may be a good candidate for Thighplasty.

Like all surgical procedures, Thighplasty, whether on its own or in combination with Liposuction or Liposculpture, does have some risk. Broadly the risks can be considered as follows:

• General Anaesthesia – Modern anaesthetic techniques are very safe, but there is always some risk from general anaesthesia. By operating in approved hospitals the surgeons at Coco Ruby Plastic Surgery are able to offer a safe supported environment for surgery. As well as a fully trained Plastic Surgeon you will have a trained surgical assistant present for your procedure. You will also have a fully trained Anaesthetist attending to you at all times while you under anaesthesia, as well as a fully trained team of other support staff.
• Bleeding (Haematoma)
• Infection
• Pain – At Coco Ruby Plastic Surgery we consider pain management to be a core part of our role – your procedure and aftercare program will be specifically designed to minimise any discomfort.
• Fluid build-up (Seroma)
• Scarring – Some scarring after surgery is inevitable. Your surgeon will take great care to minimise scarring and will ensure that scars are as inconspicuous as possible. Please ask your surgeon about any concerns you may have.
• Asymmetry – Your thighs are slightly different – just have a careful look in the mirror. Part of your surgeons’ skill lies in trying to minimise any asymmetry between your right and left thighs, however, some degree of minor asymmetry is quite common. For most patients, the difference is very small and it is often imperceptible unless they look for it. Your surgeon can discuss this with you during your consultation.
• Deep Venous Thrombosis

• In many cases, Thighplasty can be performed as a Day procedure. Other patients may require an overnight stay in hospital. Please talk to your surgeon for advice about your specific case.
• Generally, patients wear a compression garment for about 6 weeks after the procedure. The use of compression provides support for the newly tightened skin offering the best environment for a cosmetically pleasing result.
• Patients will feel uncomfortable for a few days. This is a natural result of almost any surgery. Generally, patients experience no significant discomfort after the first few days. We consider pain management to be a core part of our role – your procedure and aftercare program will be specifically designed to minimise discomfort.
• Most patients return to work after 1 or 2 weeks. If your work is highly physically demanding it may take a little longer. Everyone heals differently and we understand that. Your surgeon will be able to give you personalised advice.
• Patients should avoid heavy lifting for 6 weeks.
• Most patients are comfortable to drive at 1-2 weeks but everyone heals differently. Patients must take care to avoid vigorous movements while driving for a few weeks and we recommend being aware of traffic conditions and planning accordingly.
• Patients attend review appointments at one week, six months and twelve months after surgery. We offer an extensive aftercare service for all of our patients – you will get the care you need – when you need it.
