Leg lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The duration of the surgery is 2-4 hours on average. Patients can be discharged the next day. Drains placed during the surgery are usually removed the next day. Showering is allowed 2 days after the operation. A special corset is used for one month. During the first days, while lying and sitting, an attempt is made to keep the legs above heart level. Compression stockings should be worn for 1 week. Cotton underwear should be preferred. Sports activities are allowed after 4-6 weeks.

Can other parts of the leg be tightened as well?

Sagging of the skin of the legs usually occurs on the skin of the thigh. Sagging due to the aging process, as described above, is usually seen on the inside of the upper part of the leg, where the skin of the leg is thinnest. In patients with severe weight loss, this can be seen throughout the leg. Normally, not only the skin of the abdomen should be collected, but also the skin of the hips and back. The tummy tuck scar is lengthened at the sides and back of the hips and the excess in these areas is stretched, while at the same time the buttock tissue is more accentuated using a special surgical technique. While these two processes are performed together, the skin on the front and back of the thigh is also stretched.
