The Thigh Lift has as its main objective to remove excess skin and localized fat from the thighs, restoring a firmer, smoother, and more proportional appearance to the body. This procedure is especially indicated for people who face difficulties achieving satisfactory results even with healthy practices, such as regular physical exercise and balanced nutrition. The intervention promotes a more defined body contour, improving self-esteem and providing a sense of renewal.
The thighs are areas prone to fat accumulation and sagging, especially after significant weight loss, such as from bariatric surgeries. The Thigh Lift is widely sought by patients who wish to eliminate excess skin, tone the region, and restore the aesthetic harmony of the body.
How Does the Procedure Work?
The Thigh Lift is a surgical procedure performed by Dr. Eduardo Lintz, with an average duration of 2 to 4 hours, depending on the patient's individual characteristics. During surgery, strategic incisions are made in the thigh region, allowing the removal of excess skin and localized fat. Then, the connective tissue matrix is reshaped and repositioned, creating a firmer and more defined contour. The technique used varies according to the patient's needs.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, ensuring comfort and safety throughout the intervention.
Preoperative: Preparation for the Procedure
Before performing the Thigh Lift, Dr. Eduardo Lintz conducts a detailed evaluation to understand the patient's history, expectations, and health status. During this phase, some important steps are followed:
Medical Evaluation: The doctor conducts a questionnaire about lifestyle habits, health history, and medication use.
Laboratory Tests: Depending on the case, tests may be requested to ensure the patient is fit for surgery.
Medication Adjustment: The use of certain medications may be paused or adjusted, such as anticoagulants, aspirin, and anti-inflammatory drugs, to avoid complications during healing.
Healthy Habits: It is advisable to stop smoking and avoid alcohol consumption in the days preceding surgery, as these habits can impair the recovery process.
Pre-Surgical Fasting: On the day before surgery, the patient must maintain an absolute fast of 8 hours (solid foods and liquids).
Postoperative: Care for a Successful Recovery
After the Thigh Lift, Dr. Eduardo Lintz provides clear guidelines to ensure a smooth recovery and satisfactory results. Some essential care includes:
Medication Use: Medications are prescribed to aid healing, reduce discomfort, and prevent infections.
Lymphatic Drainage: This technique is essential for reducing swelling and improving blood circulation in the treated area.
Use of Compression Garments: The use of compression garments is recommended for up to 30 days or more, depending on medical guidelines, to help shape and support the operated region.
Physical Activity Restriction: For about 3 to 4 weeks, it is important to avoid intense physical activities to allow tissues to heal properly.
Results begin to become visible after 3 months, but the final result is achieved between 3 to 6 months after the procedure. During this period, it is essential to follow medical guidelines to ensure the best possible recovery.
