Anesthesia

A thigh lift is usually performed under general anesthesia, although local anesthesia may be used in some cases.

Steps of the procedure

1. Incisions: The surgeon makes incisions in the targeted areas, usually on the inner thighs or in the groin.
2. Removal of skin and fat: Excess skin and fat are removed, then the tissues are redraped and sutured.
3. Closing the incisions: The incisions are closed with stitches.

The procedure usually lasts between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the technique chosen.
