A spiral thigh lift is a comprehensive procedure that addresses sagging and excess skin around the entire thigh area, including the front, back, inner, and outer thighs. This technique involves incisions that follow a spiral pattern, allowing for significant contouring and reshaping of the entire thigh for a smoother, more toned appearance.
The recovery time after a thigh lift can vary depending on the extent of the surgery and the individual’s health. Generally, most patients are able to return to non-strenuous activities within 2-3 weeks. Full recovery, including the ability to engage in vigorous exercise and other physical activities, typically takes about 4-6 weeks.
A lower body lift typically includes a thigh lift as part of a broader procedure that also targets the tummy tuck, buttocks, and sometimes the hips. This comprehensive approach helps in achieving a more harmonious body contour by lifting and tightening the entire lower body.
Walking is encouraged shortly after a thigh lift to promote circulation and speed up healing. However, it should be gentle and limited in the first few days post-surgery. Patients are usually able to walk more comfortably and return to normal daily activities within a week or two, following their surgeon’s specific recommendations.
After a thigh lift, it is important to avoid putting pressure on the incision sites. Patients are advised to sit using a soft cushion and to avoid sitting for prolonged periods during the initial recovery phase. When sitting, gentle movements and periodic standing are recommended to aid circulation and healing.
A thigh lift is primarily designed to remove excess skin and fat and to tighten the remaining skin, which may indirectly improve the appearance of cellulite by smoothing the skin’s surface. However, it is not a specific treatment for cellulite, and results can vary depending on the individual’s skin quality and other factors.
