Patients will begin to see their results as soon as the post-procedure swelling begins to subside. This usually occurs a week or so after surgery. Patients will see marked improvements in the appearance of their thighs as swelling continues to go down. Patients see their final results once all the swelling has gone away. This can take anywhere from 6-12 months. Patients who follow the postoperative instructions of their surgeon closely will see their final results in the shortest period of time.
