A thigh lift procedure begins with an initial consultation with Dr. Metzinger. During this appointment, the surgeon evaluates the patient’s concerns with their thighs, looks into their medical history, and determines if they are a good candidate for surgery. Dr. Metzinger also discusses the details of the thigh lift process, including the placement of incisions, what areas will be targeted, and the anticipated results and recovery period. He also advises the patient on how to prepare for surgery. This may involve reaching a stable weight, following a proper diet, and discontinuing certain medications or supplements beforehand.
