Before a surgical thigh lift all other measures to reduce weight should be exhausted. The closer you are to your ideal weight, the better the results of the operation.
In the case of skin inflammation, prior treatment should be carried out, preferably monitored by a dermatologist. In addition no painkillers e.g. aspirin, should be taken for a period of 14 days prior to the operation as these delay coagulation of the blood. Alcohol, sleeping tablets and nicotine should also be avoided.
