Recovery from a thigh lift procedure requires patience and adherence to Dr. Mordkovich’s post-operative instructions. Most patients find that they can return to work and light activities after about two weeks, but full recovery can take several weeks to months after the procedure.
Immediately after plastic surgery, you’ll be fitted with compression garments to minimize swelling and support the healing tissues. It’s normal to experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising, which can be managed with prescribed medications and following recovery guidelines.
During the first few weeks, it’s crucial to avoid strenuous activities and exercise. Walking is encouraged to promote circulation and prevent blood clots. As you heal, Dr. Mordkovich will guide you on gradually increasing your activity level.
The final results of your thigh lift will become apparent as swelling subsides, typically over the course of several months. By following Dr. Mordkovich’s recovery instructions and maintaining a stable weight through a healthy way of living, patients can enjoy long-lasting results from your thigh lift surgery.
