About the procedure
A thigh lift removes excess skin and reshapes tissues along the inner thigh. It may be discussed after substantial weight changes or when skin has lost elasticity.
Your consultation
The surgeon assesses the extent of loose skin, fat distribution and weight stability. Scar position and length are explained before selecting a technique.
What to expect
- Medical assessment, discussion of options and agreement on a plan.
- Removal of excess skin and adjustment of tissues to the planned contour.
- Aftercare and follow-up adapted to the healing process.
Recovery and follow-up
Movement and friction in this area influence wound care. Advice about walking, exercise and compression garments is tailored individually.
What to consider
The operation leaves scars and is not a weight-loss treatment. Asymmetry and wound-healing difficulties are part of the risk discussion.
Common questions
How is it different from liposuction?
Liposuction reduces localised fat. A thigh lift mainly addresses excess skin; a combination may sometimes be discussed.
Where will the scars be?
This depends on the amount of skin to be removed. An incision may lie in the groin crease and, when needed, extend down the inner thigh.
Discuss the cost before treatment.
Ask for an estimate for your case and clarify what is included: consultations, the procedure, investigations and follow-up visits. The plan and final cost are agreed after assessment.
