INNER THIGH LIFT
WHAT IS IT?
The inner thigh lift is one of the most targeted inner thigh exercises in the Pilates mat work program. It is an adductor exercise, working the inner thigh muscles of the groin area that pull the thigh towards the midline of the body. This is the opposite motion of the side leg raise, which works the abductors
WHERE ARE THE SCARS IN A THIGH LIFT?
Thigh lift scars are generally T shaped, the horizontal component lying along the top end of the thigh and the vertical component along the inner thigh right up to the knee. The scar will appear crinkled initially and smooths and evens out after a period of 4-6 weeks.
HOW LONG IS RECOVERY AFTER THIGH LIFT?
Four to six weeks
The recovery time for a thigh lift may vary depending on whether you opt for an outer thigh lift, an inner thigh lift, or both. In general, however, most people will need to take it easy for the first couple of weeks and can resume normal activities after four to six weeks.
IS THIGH LIFT SURGERY PAINFUL?
Patients should expect to feel some pain and swelling and may notice bruising. Drains may be placed at the incision sites to help blood and fluid escape the tissues and reduce swelling. Pain medication will be prescribed to help reduce post-surgical pain and discomfort.
