Thigh Lift Hyannis, MD | Dr. Seth R. Jones

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

Cape & Islands Plastic Surgery offers comprehensive thigh lift procedures designed to enhance body contours and improve aesthetic appearance. This surgical technique can be strategically performed alongside complementary body contouring procedures to create comprehensive aesthetic results.

Procedure Details

The thigh lift surgery typically requires approximately 2½ hours and generally involves an overnight stay. Dr. Jones and Dr. Loffredo recommend specific post-operative care protocols to ensure optimal healing and patient comfort.

Key Procedure Characteristics

• Surgical duration: Approximately 2½ hours
• Recommended post-surgical compression garment wear: Minimum two weeks
• Prescribed pain management for patient comfort
• Recommended recovery time: 1-2 weeks off work

Surgical Approach

The procedure can be performed in conjunction with a buttock lift to create an enhanced body profile. Surgeons may utilize a specialized technique called purse-string gluteoplasty, which utilizes the patient's own tissue to augment and refine body contours.

Post-Surgical Considerations

Patients should anticipate potential discomfort when sitting, as the surgical position can place additional pressure on incision sites. Gradual resumption of exercise is recommended, with patients typically returning to normal activity levels around six weeks post-surgery.

Recovery Progression

• Initial exercise resumption: 2 weeks post-surgery
• Full exercise capacity: Approximately 6 weeks
• Continued use of compression garments as directed
