What is a Thigh Lift?
Thigh lift surgery has become a popular choice for those looking to reshape and tone their upper thighs. Excess skin and fat are removed to give the legs a more youthful, contoured look.
For those who have experienced weight loss or the effects of aging on their legs, this procedure can be a game-changer and can help restore confidence and make them feel more comfortable.
Thigh lift surgery, also known as Thighplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that aims to improve the appearance of the thighs by removing excess skin and fat and tightening the remaining skin.
This procedure can help individuals who are unhappy with the appearance of their thighs due to aging, weight loss, or genetics.

The Thigh Lift Procedure
A thigh lift procedure typically involves the following steps:
- Anaesthesia: The surgeon will administer either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation to ensure that the patient is comfortable throughout the procedure.
- Incision: The surgeon will make incisions in the groin area, along the inner thigh, or on the outer thigh, depending on the patient’s needs. The length and location of the incisions will vary depending on the amount of excess skin and fat that needs to be removed.
- Removal of Excess Tissue: The surgeon will remove excess skin and fat from the thighs using surgical techniques such as liposuction and excision. Liposuction involves using a cannula (a small tube) to suction out fat, while excision involves cutting away excess skin and tissue.
- Closure: The surgeon will close the incisions with sutures that are usually dissolvable.
- Compression Garments: After the procedure, the patient may be required to wear compression garments to reduce swelling and promote healing.
The exact details of the thigh lift procedure will vary depending on the patient’s individual needs and the surgeon’s techniques.
At HR Plastic Surgery, Mr Hyder Ridha will discuss the details of the procedure with you during your initial consultation to ensure that you fully understand the process and have realistic expectations for the results.
Recovery and Aftercare
After the surgery, patients will need to rest for a few days and avoid strenuous activities for six weeks. The surgeon may also recommend wearing compression garments to reduce swelling and assist with achieving the desired contour.
Most patients can return to work within seven to ten days, but it may take up to six months for the full results of the surgery to become visible.
During the recovery process, it is important to follow the surgeon’s instructions carefully to minimize the risk of complications and ensure optimal results. This will include stopping smoking, taking medication as prescribed, and attending follow-up appointments with the surgeon.

Risks and Complications
Like any surgical procedure, thigh lift surgery comes with risks. Some of the potential risks include:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Abnormal healing and/or stretched scars
There is also a risk of nerve damage, which can cause numbness in the thighs. Additionally, there is a risk of asymmetry, in the contour, or the scars are uneven.

FAQs
If you still have some questions, below you can find our most frequently asked questions regarding our thigh lift surgery:
What is the best procedure to reduce the size of thighs and remove excess skin?
The best procedure to reduce the size of thighs and remove excess skin is a thigh lift. This procedure involves surgically removing excess skin, and fat from the inner and/or outer thighs in order to create a smoother, more contoured shape.
This can be combined with liposuction to further reduce fat and create a more sculpted look.
What is an outer thigh lift vs an inner thigh lift?
An outer thigh lift and an inner thigh lift are two different surgical procedures that are designed to improve the appearance of the thighs.
An outer thigh lift, also known as a lateral thigh lift, targets the outer thigh area, which is the area of the thigh that runs from the hip to the knee along the outer side of the leg.
During this procedure, excess skin and fat are removed from the outer thigh area to create a more toned and contoured appearance.
An inner thigh lift, on the other hand, targets the inner thigh area, which is the area of the thigh that runs from the groin to the knee along the inner side of the leg.
During this procedure, excess skin and fat are removed from the inner thigh area to create a smoother and more toned appearance. It is possible to have a thigh lift for the entire thigh.
Is Thighplasty the same as a thigh lift?
Yes, a thigh lift surgery is the same as a Thighplasty. They both refer to the same surgical procedure.
How long does Thighplasty last?
The results of a Thighplasty vary from person to person ranging from five to ten years. Several factors affect the longevity of the results, such as further weight changes and smoking, as well as factors such as genetics and the natural ageing process.
How painful is Thighplasty?
Thighplasty can be associated with discomfort and pain, particularly during the first few days after surgery, but this can be managed with medication and proper post-operative care.
