Posterior Thigh Lift in AR

A Posterior Thigh Lift is also known as a Buttock Lift and is technically called a Thighplasty. This is a surgical procedure to correct loose, saggy skin and excess fat deposits in the back part of the thighs. It also improves dimpled, bumpy skin and restores a more normal shape and contour to the thighs. If there is only excess fat in the thighs, Liposuction alone can be considered instead of a Thigh Lift (Posterior). In cases where the skin elasticity is slack, a Thigh Lift is preferred to tighten the droopy skin.

A Posterior Thigh Lift candidate is one who has experienced a loss of skin elasticity of the back area of the thigh or buttock area, if the skin area has an "orange peel" flabby or dimpled appearance or if the thigh appearance improves dramatically when the lax skin is lifted.

The intended results of a Posterior Thigh Lift procedure are a tighter, more attractive thigh and buttock skin, improved contours and decreased irregularities in the skin surface.

Because the Thigh Lift procedure is a very individualized procedure, the incision length and pattern varies from person to person. While the incisions may be extensive, advanced techniques allow incisions to be placed in strategic locations where they can be hidden by most types of clothing and swimsuits.

A Posterior Thigh Lift usually takes 2-3 hours, depending on the extent of work required. As with all surgeries, the amount of time needed varies from patient to patient. If liposuction of the thighs is to be performed with the thigh lift, it is usually done before making the incisions.

The Posterior Thigh Lift procedure is performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis unless otherwise advised by the surgeon. After the incisions are made, the skin and fat are separated from the underlying structures in the thigh. Excess skin and fat are then removed. Occasionally, before stitching the incision, a temporary tube is inserted to drain excess fluid from the surgical site. After the incisions are closed, gauze and an elastic compression bandage are applied to minimize bruising and swelling.

Lifting the entire thigh and buttock (Circumferential Lower Body Lift) will require much longer incisions that start in the buttock crease, extend around the groin, up over the side of the abdomen, over the flank and across the back.

After the surgery, there will be swelling and bruising at the incision sites. It is common to have some discomfort, which can be controlled with medication. It is important to keep the compression bandage in place to help minimize the swelling. It is important that you start walking as soon as possible.

Side effects are minimal for a Posterior Thigh Lift procedure. They include discomfort, pain, swelling, numbness, and bruising. (They are temporary.) It may take a year or more for the incision lines to refine and fade.

Although most patients are up and about in a few days, plan on taking it easy for at least the first week after surgery. Some numbness of the skin is to be expected and is temporary. If drainage tubes were inserted, you will be taught how to take care of them and record the amount of fluid that comes out of it. The steps are very easy and simple to follow. Your surgeon will remove the tubes in about a week when the drainage slows to an acceptable level.

Most patients are back to work or school in 1 to 3 weeks. Although it is important to walk, you should avoid strenuous activity, including jogging, heavy housework, sex, or any activity that may stress the incision sites. Healing will continue for several weeks as swelling subsides and incision lines improve.

The results after a Posterior Thigh Lift procedure can last for many years. However, the influences of aging and gravity will continue as time passes. The exact length of time varies with each individual.

  • Argentina Time

    Argentinians generally take a very relaxed attitude towards time. This can be unsettling to visitors from North America and non-Latin parts of Europe where punctuality is highly valued. You should expect that your Argentine contacts will be at least 10 to 15 minutes late for any appointment, even to a business meeting. Tardiness of 30 to 45 minutes is not unusual. This is considered normal in Argentina and does not signify any lack of respect for the relationship.

    If you are invited to a dinner or party at, say, 9 PM. It does not mean that you should be present at 9 PM, but instead that you should not arrive before 9 PM. You'll be welcomed anytime afterwards. Arriving to a party 2-3 hours late is normally OK and sometimes expected. This is normally difficult to understand for Northern hemispherians.

    This attitude extends to any scheduled activity in Argentina. Plays, concerts usually get going around half an hour after their scheduled times. Long distance buses usually leave on time. Short-distance public transportation like city buses and the subway do not even bother with time estimates; they arrive when they arrive. Factor these elements into your calculations of how long things will take.

    Unannounced bus or train departures ahead of the schedule are not uncommon, especially in big cities. This is normally not a problem, as in general no one will expect you to be on time anyway.

Levoleucovorin for injection is currently listed as a replacement for calcium leucovorin in the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology.
