Thigh Lift Procedure on Cape Cod
This procedure can be performed alongside a buttock lift to create an augmented appearance. This procedure is particularly helpful with patients who lack volume in the buttock padding region and where a large portion of the volume lies within the excess skin and tissue that is typically removed in a lift. This excess is used to augment the buttocks under the skin. This procedure, known as the purse-string gluteoplasty uses the patient’s own tissue to augment the buttocks as has fantastic results.*

What Happens During A Thigh Lift?
This surgery takes about 2½ hours and generally requires an overnight. Dr. Jones and Dr. Loffredo usually have thigh lift patients wear a compression garment for at least two weeks. Our surgeons will also prescribe pain medication post-operatively to make thigh lift patients comfortable. Patients should plan on needing 1 – 2 weeks off from work after a thigh lift procedure. Post-operatively, thigh lift patients need to be prepared that sitting down can be uncomfortable, more so than other cosmetic surgery procedures. This is because the position of sitting often places additional pressure on the incisions. However, patients usually figure some way to position themselves, in order to be comfortable. They can slowly resume their exercising, starting at 2 weeks, and reaching normal exercise levels at 6 weeks.*
