What Is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift is an aesthetic surgical operation that targets excess skin and fat tissue on the inner side of the leg. It corrects sagging caused by major weight loss, aging, or genetic factors.
In which cases is it preferred?
- A smoother, firmer leg contour
- Reduced chafing caused by friction between the legs
- Being able to wear tight/fitted clothing comfortably
- Improving body image and self-confidence
The surgical process
- Consultation: the state of the legs and the expectations are assessed.
- Surgery: under general anaesthesia, excess tissue is removed through an incision running from the groin to the inner thigh; liposuction is added if required.
- Recovery: support is provided with a compression garment/compression stockings; activity is resumed gradually.
Yes; in suitable patients, a tuck can be combined with liposuction for the best result.
