Everything You Need to Know About Thigh Lifts - Part 1 - Beauty and the Surgeon Episode 158

November is all about thighs on Beauty and the Surgeon! Thigh lifts are one of the most transformative procedures in all of plastic surgery, but it's no Thanksgiving picnic. In part one, Dr. Martin and Amy discuss what a thigh lift can and can't do, who is a candidate for the procedure, what to expect from your consultation and pre-op appointment, and much, much more. Questions to ask you surgeon: Are you certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery? Am I a good candidate for this procedure? What surgical technique is recommended for me? Where and how will you perform my surgery? What are the risks and potential complications with a thigh lift? Will I need liposuction in addition to skin removal? How are complications handled? How long is recovery? Will I need help during recovery? How can I expect my thighs to look/age over time? Questions to ask at pre-op appointment: Where will I be taken after surgery? Overnight stay? What medication will I be given or prescribed? Will I have dressings/bandages when I leave the hospital? When will they be removed? When will the drains and stitches be removed? When can I shower? When can I return to normal activities and exercise?
