Thigh Lift Surgery in Ottawa with Dr. Ian MacArthur
What is Thigh Lift Surgery?
A thigh lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that aims to reshape the thighs by removing excess skin and fat. This procedure can provide smoother skin and better-proportioned contours of the thighs and lower body.
Dr. MacArthur is a top-rated Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Ottawa specializing in thigh lift surgery. He is the Medical Director at New Age Medical Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery, one of the busiest surgical centers in the city.
What to Expect During Surgery:
General anesthesia is used for thigh lift surgery. This means you will be comfortable and asleep during surgery.
The incision pattern varies based on the area being treated. For inner thigh lifts, incisions are made in the groin area, which can extend downward and wrap around the back of the thigh if needed. For outer thigh lifts, incisions extend from the groin around the hip.
Excess skin and fat are removed, then the underlying tissues will be reshaped and tightened. Sutures close the incisions.
During surgery, Dr. MacArthur implements modern thigh lift surgery techniques for the most natural results.
How to Prepare for Surgery:
You will discuss your aesthetic goals in detail and Dr. MacArthur will answer all of your questions during your initial consultation.
Avoid medications or supplements that can increase bleeding, such as aspirin, for about a week before surgery.
If you're a smoker, you'll be asked to stop smoking well before surgery, as it can delay healing.
Make sure you have someone available to drive you home post-surgery and assist you for the first day.
What to Expect After Surgery:
You might experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Medication prescribed by Dr. MacArthur can help manage these symptoms.
Most people can return to work or normal activities within a week or two. However, strenuous activities, including heavy lifting, should be avoided for at least a few weeks.
The results of a thigh lift are long lasting. However, a healthy diet, regular exercise, proper weight management and hydration can help maintain the youthful appearance achieved by surgery.
