comprehensive consultation with dr. holland

During a thigh lift consultation, Dr. Holland evaluates the patient's medical history and aesthetic goals, discussing concerns about excess skin and fat in the thighs. The surgical approach is determined based on skin laxity and fat distribution. Dr. Holland explains the procedure, including incision placement and anesthesia options, addressing any questions or concerns. Patients gain a clear understanding of the surgery and recovery process, empowering them to make confident decisions about their thigh contouring.

what to expect

Throughout the thigh lift process, patients receive personalized care and support. Following the initial consultation, they'll receive pre-operative instructions and undergo surgery at an accredited outpatient surgical center. After the procedure, patients have follow-up appointments for monitoring and care. Recovery involves managing discomfort and swelling, with gradual improvement in thigh contour over several weeks. The final results, including smoother and more toned thighs, become evident as healing progresses. Patients can expect guidance, communication, and support from our experienced medical team throughout, aiming for a positive experience and satisfying outcome.

things to consider before moving forward with thigh lift surgery:

  • Maximum discomfort will occur the first few days after surgery and then will subside gradually.

  • At the time of surgery, you will be placed in a well-fitting compression garment, which should be worn for 24 hours a day (including overnight) for 4 -5 weeks after surgery. Your garment will have vents so that it may be worn even when using the restroom.

  • Nausea can occur following any surgical procedure and generally passes by the first postoperative day.

  • You may experience some difficulty standing up straight for the first week or two after surgery. Please do not make any special attempts to stretch or stand up straight during the first three weeks of healing. The tightness will gradually soften as you heal and progressively use your body muscles.

  • It is generally best to plan to take seven to ten days off before returning to work. If your job is physical, it is not unreasonable to take some extra time.

Please follow this list of medications and supplements to avoid prior to having your procedure.
