Thigh Lift
Surgical correction of sagging skin on the thighs – tailored to your anatomy.
Significant weight loss or advancing age can cause the skin on the thighs to sag, particularly on the inner sides. Additional fat deposits can exacerbate the effect. A surgical thigh lift can help remedy this, effectively tightening and smoothing the legs. This results in a slim, athletic, and strong appearance.
What does a thigh lift procedure involve?
A thigh lift is performed on an inpatient basis and lasts about 2-3 hours. The procedure is done under general anesthesia. At the beginning of the treatment, the surgeon marks the planned incision lines on the legs of the standing patient. These lines run on both sides from the front area of the groin at the level of the pubic hairline along the groin fold, over the thigh-groin crease, and down to the buttock fold, essentially between the legs. After the incisions are made, the skin of the thighs is detached from the underlying tissue, pulled upward, and tightened. If there are significant fat deposits, traditional liposuction may be used to remove the fat. If there is a substantial excess of skin, an additional vertical incision may be made on the inner side of the thighs. The surgeon removes excess skin, places drainage tubes to allow fluid to escape, and stitches the wound edges using a special suturing technique. A compression bandage is then applied.
What does aftercare look like following a thigh lift?
After the thigh lift, the patient should remain in the clinic for a few days. The day after the surgery, the drainage tubes are removed. The legs should be minimally stressed and rested for about 1-2 weeks. Compression garments must be worn at all times to avoid excessive scar formation and to support healing. Since the incisions during the thigh lift are located in the groin area and near the intimate region, they will be completely covered by underwear later. If an additional vertical incision was made on the inner side of the thighs, it may later be visible as a scar. However, diligent scar care can make it inconspicuous. About 2-4 weeks after the thigh lift, the patient is socially fit again, and the final result of the surgical treatment is visible after about 4-6 weeks.
