A member asked:

Is a thigh lift an outpatient procedure? can i have a thigh lift and go home the same day, or is it an inpatient procedure?

Yes, : Yes, thighlifts are generally performed in an outpatient surgical setting. You will need help a home in order to get up and about for the first several days. Its time to call in family and friends to help out. Best of luck to you.

I : I always do my thigh lifts as an outpatient.The most important thing post op is early ambulation to minimize the formation of blood clots.www.beautybybrueck.com.

This : This is very much up to the surgeon as well as the patient. In my practice the patients always go home after every type of surgery, since early ambulation and the return to a "normal environment" leads to an easier recovery. Good luck from nyc. For more info visit www.Drgrossman.Com.
