Is There A Disruption In Sensation Following A Thigh Lift?

Added on 16th August 2019

The sensory nerves will be damaged during a thigh lift. It depends partly on where the nerves are located as to the distribution of the sensory loss. 

Where Nerve Disruption Can Take Place

Often surrounding the scar itself the sensation is disrupted, but this can be distributed down the legs, further down from the site of the surgery. Rarely these nerves are permanently damaged. The nerves can take 12- 18 months to fully remove.
