A thigh lift in Houston begins with a full assessment of skin laxity and fat distribution. The procedure removes excess skin, tightens tissues, and may include liposuction. It is usually performed under general anesthesia and lasts two to four hours, depending on the extent of the lift. Recovery allows most patients to return to light activity within one to two weeks.Compression garments are typically worn for several weeks to support healing. Bruising and swelling peak during the first week and then improve steadily. Light exercise is usually resumed after two weeks, while more strenuous activity is cleared in four to six weeks. Final results are generally seen in three to six months as scars fade.
