What is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the inner or outer thighs to create a smoother, more toned appearance. It is ideal for people with sagging or loose skin due to aging, weight loss, or genetics.
This procedure enhances the contours of the thighs, creating a more sculpted and youthful look. While thigh lifts don’t replace weight loss, they help eliminate areas of stubborn fat and improve skin laxity.
During your free consultation, our expert surgeons will assess your needs and goals to customize a treatment plan just for you.
What Happens During Surgery?
A thigh lift is performed under general anaesthesia and involves the following steps:
1. Incisions:
Strategic incisions are made in discreet areas, such as the groin or along the inner thighs.
2. Skin and Fat Removal:
Excess skin and fat are removed to tighten and contour the thigh area.
3. Sculpting and Tightening:
The surgeon sculpts the thighs for a smoother, more defined appearance.
4. Closure:
The incisions are carefully closed, and dressings are applied.
Depending on the patient’s goals, the procedure may target the inner thighs, outer thighs, or both areas.

Is a Thigh Lift Right for Me?
A thigh lift is ideal for individuals who have loose or sagging skin around their thighs, often caused by significant weight loss or ageing. If you’re in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and have achieved or are near your ideal weight, this surgery can help improve the contours and appearance of your thighs.
The benefits of a thigh lift include smoother, more toned and sculpted thighs, resulting in a more youthful appearance. Many patients experience boosted confidence, feeling more comfortable in clothing and swimwear. Additionally, a thigh lift tightens loose skin and removes excess fat, creating a natural, flattering outcome tailored to your unique body shape.
While thigh lift surgery is generally safe, there are some risks to consider. Scarring is inevitable, but incisions are typically placed in inconspicuous areas to minimise visibility. Temporary swelling, bruising, and numbness are common side effects. Infection, bleeding, or asymmetry are rare but manageable with proper aftercare. In some cases, minor touch-ups may be necessary to achieve the desired result.

FAQ's
A thigh lift is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the thighs to improve their shape and contour. The procedure targets sagging skin, often caused by aging or weight loss, and creates smoother, firmer thighs.
Recovery typically takes a few weeks, with most patients able to resume light activities after 2–3 weeks. It may take 6–8 weeks to fully recover and return to normal exercise. Swelling and bruising are common but will subside during recovery.
Scarring is inevitable but usually placed in areas where it can be hidden, such as along the natural folds of the thighs. Scars may take time to fade but are generally not noticeable to others.
You will begin to see improvements in the shape and appearance of your thighs shortly after the swelling goes down. Final results become more evident after a few months once the body has fully healed.
A thigh lift is ideal for individuals with loose or sagging skin on their thighs who are in good health and have realistic expectations. It’s particularly beneficial for those who have achieved or are near their ideal weight but want to improve thigh contours.
