Thigh Lift

Thigh Lift, or thighplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reshape and tone the thighs by removing excess skin and fat. It results in smoother skin and better-proportioned contours, especially beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or skin laxity due to aging.

At Medixir Clinic, Thigh Lift procedures are customized to meet each patient’s specific goals. Whether targeting the inner or outer thighs, our expert surgeons use precise techniques to achieve natural-looking results while minimizing visible scarring.

There are several types of thigh lifts, including inner (medial) thigh lift, outer (lateral) thigh lift, and vertical thigh lift. The procedure chosen depends on the amount and location of loose skin and fat. Liposuction is often performed alongside to enhance overall contour.

During the surgery, incisions are made strategically in the groin area, along the inner thigh, or vertically down the thigh to remove excess tissue and tighten the remaining skin. Surgeons aim to place scars where they are least visible when healed.

Thigh Lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes 2 to 4 hours. Patients usually return home the same day or after a short overnight stay depending on the extent of surgery.

Recovery involves mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which are managed with prescribed medications and compression garments. Light activities can resume within 10 to 14 days, while full recovery may take 4 to 6 weeks.

Patients are advised to avoid heavy lifting and intense physical activity during the initial healing period. Wearing compression garments helps reduce swelling and supports the new thigh contour.

Scarring is an expected part of this procedure, but scars fade considerably over time with proper care and sun protection. We provide detailed scar management guidance to ensure the best aesthetic outcome.

Ideal candidates include individuals with stable weight, good general health, and realistic expectations who are concerned about thigh sagging and wish for a firmer, more toned appearance.

At Medixir Clinic, we combine advanced surgical methods with personalized planning to deliver natural, proportional results that enhance both appearance and self-confidence.
