Patients will have needed to arrange for a friend or family member to drive them home. With minor lifts, bruising, swelling and pain is usually minimal.

At VIP in The Villages thigh lift patients are usually able to return to light activities and work after the first week or so, and fully return to regular activities after a month. The results of slimmer, smoother, more youthful looking thighs will be fully realized in the next six to twelve months when all swelling is completely gone and scaring significantly fades. As with any body contouring procedure, patients should remember to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle to avoid weight gain and assure lasting results.
