With the beginning of the summer and so the sea season, the importance given to the beauty of the body increases. And the legs are the most important parts of the body. Legs are one of the most important factors affecting the smoothness and aesthetic appearance of women. Long and smooth legs are very much a woman’s dream and one of the most important symbols of beauty in the female body. It is really important for many women that legs are smooth and beautiful. However, some legs are not structurally curvy and genetically flat.
Leg aesthetics may be considered in cases where the legs are too thin or too thick, in distorted leg problems, or when a more muscular leg appearance is desired. The aim of leg aesthetics is to make the legs more attractive from ankles to hips.
Suitable candidates are those who are not satisfied with the shape of their legs, who have a soft tissue thickness rather than bone thickness on their knees and ankles, who have braces legs or who want a more muscular leg appearance.

Using lood thinner drugs like aspirin etc. should be cancelled at least 10 days before the surgery. If there are any other medications or vitamin pills (including Ginseng, CoQ, Gingkobloba etc.) which are taken continuously, they must be discontinued before 1 week. If there is a different situation, the patient should inform his / her doctor.
The operation can last 1-3 hourse under general anesthesia. Leg aesthetic surgery can be performed in combination with one or more of the techniques according to the patient’s leg structure and the needs of the patient.

In very thin legs, specially designed silicone prostheses can be attached to the calves by entering 2 cm incisions behind the knee. Vertical thigh lifting can be performed after excess weight gain, especially to remove excess skin accumulated in the legs. But in this operation, even though the inner thighs fade with time, there will be traces that will never disappear completely. Patients should be informed about this scar before leg aesthetic surgery.
