What to Expect from Your Thigh Lift in Turkey

Personalised Consultation

Before surgery, you will have a consultation with your surgeon to discuss your concerns, expected outcomes, and the best approach for your specific needs.

• A detailed evaluation of skin laxity and leg shape
• Explanation of surgical techniques, including the placement of incisions
• A customised surgical plan to achieve your desired thigh contour
• Discussion of post-surgical care and recovery timeline

The Surgery

Thigh lift surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes between two to three hours.

• Incisions are made along the inner or outer thigh, depending on the technique
• Excess skin is removed, and underlying tissues are tightened
• Liposuction may be used to refine contour and remove stubborn fat
• The incisions are carefully closed, and bandages are applied

Following surgery, patients will stay in the hospital for one night before being discharged to their accommodation for recovery.

Recovery and Post-Surgery Care

After leaving the hospital, patients will spend five to six days in their accommodation, where an on-site nurse will provide support and assist with post-operative care. Compression garments will be provided to minimise swelling and support healing.

First week of recovery

• Days 1–2: Swelling and mild discomfort are expected
• Days 3–4: Mobility improves, and discomfort begins to ease
• Days 5–6: Patients feel more comfortable moving around
• Day 7: Final check-up with the surgeon, possible stitch removal, and Fit-to-Fly letter provided

Long-term recovery

• 4–6 weeks: Most swelling subsides, and the thighs begin to settle into their new shape
• A few months: Skin continues to tighten, and results become more refined
• 6 months: The near-final results are visible
• 1 year: Full healing is complete, with scars fading over time

Risks of Thigh Lift Surgery

Like any surgical procedure, a thigh lift carries potential risks. While complications are rare when performed by an experienced surgeon, patients should be aware of the following:

• Swelling and Bruising – Common in the initial recovery period but subsides over time.
• Scarring – Incisions are strategically placed, but some visible scarring may remain.
• Infection – Proper post-operative care and antibiotics help reduce the risk.
• Asymmetry – Minor variations in thigh shape may occur as the body heals.
• Delayed Healing – Some patients, particularly smokers or those with medical conditions, may experience slower recovery.
• Changes in Sensation – Temporary numbness or sensitivity changes near the incision sites.
• Blood Clots – Following post-op movement guidelines and wearing compression garments help reduce this risk.

Patients must understand these risks and make an informed decision before proceeding. It is essential to follow all pre- and post-operative care instructions to minimise complications and ensure a smooth recovery.
