Correction of thighs
The course of the procedure
Thigh lift is one of the major operations. If possible, we try to avoid this operation, for example by using the right technique for thigh liposuction.
It is indeed possible to thereby reshape the inner thighs or the so called “riding pants” area, however, at the cost of scarring.
How the examination is carried out
During the pre-operative consultation, we will ask about the patient’s wishes, problems and ideas about the post-operative appearance of the thighs and the surrounding area. We assess the size of the skin excess and subcutaneous tissue, the length of the subsequent scar. The patient’s general health is also important.
What is the preparation before the procedure
In preparation for surgery, it is necessary to:
- discontinue all medication causing increased bleeding
- consider, in order to reduce the risk of embolism, discontinuing contraception three weeks before the procedure
- maintain a 2-3 week interval since the last infectious disease
- not smoke – in order to improve healing before and after the procedure
- not drink or eat anything 6 hours before the procedure
- not underestimate cleansing and hygiene on the day of surgery, and not wear make-up
Performance of the procedure
The operation is performed under general anaesthesia. It consists in removing excess skin and subcutaneous tissue from the groin and further on to the inner thighs. The incisions are made in the groin and sometimes below the buttocks; these scars are not very noticeable. In most cases, however, it is also necessary to operate on the inner thighs and sometimes up to the knees. These scars may already be more noticeable.
After surgery, we put on compression underwear, often a drain is necessary.
Just after the operation
Anti-nausea drugs are administered as a precaution during the operation, pain killers are started immediately after the operation, unpleasant cold sensation is overcome by intensive warming with special hot air heating and warm pillows.
To prevent complications, a two-day stay in the clinic is required after surgery.
What is the postoperative care
This is a major procedure and the post-operative follow-up and care corresponds to this. We strive for maximum comfort of our clients. Experienced nurses monitor the overall condition and are supportive in managing the discomforts of the post-operative period.
In the first two weeks after the procedure, more or less permanent care of a close person is advisable, as well as help with everyday tasks, of course, it is necessary to limit physical exertion.
Each client leaves our clinic fully informed and familiar with all possible and expected symptoms of the postoperative condition. If in doubt, the client is free to contact the surgeon at any time.
It is recommended that you arrange a 3 week leave of absence. You can return to work after 3 weeks, but sometimes up to 3 months depending on the physical demands of the job. A return to a more or less normal life can take just as long.

Before and after the procedure
Photographs of the operated areas taken before and after the procedure perfectly illustrate its optical effect. However, for many procedures, we should not forget about their health effects, such as increased mobility, pain reduction, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions
You ask, we answer
What technique do you use for liposuction?
There are several techniques of liposuction. At the aestea clinic we use the so-called super-wet technique. In this technique, the affected area is first infiltrated with fluid and then the fluid is suctioned out together with the fat. The amount of fluid infiltrated is approximately the same as the amount of fat suctioned during the operation.
Is there a weight limit for surgery?
We often operate on patients who weigh over 100 kg, the maximum possible weight for surgery is 120 kg.
Does surgery guarantee complete elimination of the disease?
Removal of unwanted adipose tissue leads in most cases to pain reduction, improved mobility and overall life satisfaction. However, the removal of all fat, whether lipedema or otherwise, cannot be guaranteed. Similarly, liposuction can by no means be said to be the absolute and exclusive cure for lipedema.
Is it possible to operate on the upper and lower limbs at the same time?
For a number of reasons, we do not recommend liposuction of the upper and lower limbs in one operation.
When can I go back to work after surgery?
It depends on the extent of the operation, how many litres are suctioned, but also on the individual sensitivity and resistance of the patient. We recommend taking a leave of 1-2 weeks. After 2-3 weeks it is usually possible to return to normal life.
