Thigh Lift
What Is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift (thighplasty) is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the thighs, improving contour and firmness. It is especially beneficial for patients with loose, sagging skin after significant weight loss, aging or genetics.
What Can it Change?
A thigh lift can:
- Reduce excess skin and fat in the inner or outer thighs
- Create smoother, firmer and more proportionate thighs
- Improve comfort in clothing and daily movement
- Enhance overall body confidence and mobility
Are You a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Are in good overall health and maintain a stable weight
- Have sagging skin or poor skin elasticity in the thigh area
- Experience discomfort or chafing due to excess skin
- Are a non-smoker or willing to stop before and after surgery
- Have realistic expectations about results and scarring
What to Expect During Surgery?
- Performed under general anaesthesia
- Incisions vary based on the amount and location of excess skin along the inner crease
- Excess skin is removed, underlying tissue tightened and contour reshaped

Risks & Safety

- Swelling, bruising or temporary numbness

- Week 2-3: Most patients resume light activities; walking improves comfort
- Weeks 4–6: Gradual return to normal activities and low-impact exercise
- Month 2-6 : Thigh contour refines, scars begin to fade and results stabilize
