Incision Creation
The surgeon makes incisions in the designated areas of the thighs, typically on the inner thigh or around the groin, to minimize visible scarring.
Tissue Removal and Closure
Excess skin and fat are removed, the remaining skin is tightened, and the incisions are closed with sutures to complete the procedure.

- Rest and limited physical activity for the first week.
- Avoid strenuous activities for 4-6 weeks.
