Thigh lift surgery has grown in popularity over the past decade due to the increased success of bariatric surgery. Thus, with more patients interested in thigh lift surgery, more people tend to have questions about the procedure. Let’s take a look at one of the most popular questions, “Can you walk after thigh lift surgery?”Immediately after surgery, you likely will not feel like walking on your own. You may use a walker or the help of your caregiver for around two to three days before you’ll be able to walk on your own. Otherwise, walking is not usually an issue after the first few days. Additionally, some patients do not have too much issue, but it is best to restrict your legs to slow and careful movements to protect the integrity of your incisions.After a procedure such as a thigh lift, patients generally should rest in bed and only occasionally get up to go to the bathroom or bathe as needed. It is absolutely vital that a patient has a caregiver for at least 24 hours after surgery to facilitate a more comfortable and easier recovery.To learn more and schedule a consultation, call us at 941-923-1736.
