Thigh Lift

What is Thigh Lift surgery?

Thigh Lift surgery, also known as a Thighplasty, aims to create smooth thighs that are proportionate to the upper body and lower legs by reshaping the thighs through removing excess fat or sagging skin. Thighplasty produces shapely contours in the thighs and a firmer, more youthful appearance.

Why is Thigh Lift surgery performed?

Excessive skin might occur near the thighs due to aging, a sedentary lifestyle, genetic inclinations, and sudden weight loss. The resulting saggy skin can cause discomfort and create an unpleasant appearance. Thigh Lift surgery can alleviate the issue by removing the excess saggy skin near the thigh area, and can improve overall appearance as with thinner legs, the entire figure may look noticeably more slender and younger.

 

What are the conditions for Thigh Lift surgery?

Thigh Lift Surgery is recommended to patients who:

  • Are healthy enough to undergo general anesthesia.
  • Have a Body Mass Index, BMI, of below 30.
  • Have excess skin or fat deposits on the inner or outer thigh.
  • Have enough skin elasticity and fat around the lower abdomen.

What are the Thigh Lift surgery types?

There are 3 major types of Thigh Lift surgeries:

Inner Thigh Lift:

Inner Thigh Lift as the name suggests targets the inner thighs and is the most common type of Thigh Lift performed, especially for patients with excess fat deposits on the thighs. The incisions are made near the groin to be easier to conceal.

Mini Thigh Lift:

Mini Thigh Lift is recommended to patients who have a relatively lesser degree of saggy skin. Compared to the Inner Thigh Lift, a smaller incision will be made near the groin, the recovery period will be shorter and the resulting scar will be smaller.

Outer Thigh Lift:

Also called the Bilateral Thigh Lift surgery, aims to tighten the skin and remove the fat around the waist and on the upper leg. A circular incision around the hip is made, similar to the incision made during a Lower Body Lift. The results are often more effective compared to the Inner Thigh Lift, but often leaves a bigger scar.

What Are The Things To Be Considered Before Thigh Lift?

Patients should:

  • Be at the hospital a day before their surgery for the preoperative tests to be performed.
  • Stop smoking and consuming alcohol at least 2 weeks before the surgery to alleviate the risk of a blood clot.
  • Avoid medication containing aspirin or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) for two weeks before and after surgery as these medications may increase the risk of internal bleeding. Patients should confirm each medication and supplement they wish to take with their Patient Coordinator.

How is Thigh Lift performed?

The surgery starts with general anesthesia being administered. Liposuction might then be applied to remove excess fat deposits around the thighs.

Inner Thigh Lift:

The surgeon makes an incision starting from the groin through the natural creases of the body and extending down towards the knee. The excess skin and fat are removed through the incision. Liposuction may be applied at this point. Then the remaining skin is tightened by pulling it up and is then held in place through sutures.

Mini Thigh Lift:

A small incision, compared to Inner Thigh Lift, above the groin is made. Liposuction is performed through the incision, and then the excess skin is removed. The removed amount of excess skin and fat are usually less than the amount removed during Inner Thigh Lift.

Outer Thigh Lift:

An incision is made near the groin that spans around the hip, similar to the incision made during a Lower Body Lift. Liposuction is applied to remove the excess fat from the thigh and the butt. The excess skin is pulled up, tightening the skin around the thigh. The excess skin is then removed and the incisions are sealed using sutures.

What are The Things To Be Considered After Thigh Lift?

The results of a thigh lift will be apparent almost immediately following the procedure. After the surgery, the patients are recommended to:

  • Wrap their thighs with the provided compression bandages to minimize swelling and help the tissue maintain its new shape.
  • Avoid strenuous exercises, especially any that might put a strain on the thighs.
  • Take their prescribed medication as instructed by their doctor.

Patients will most likely be able to resume most of their daily activities 2 weeks after the operation. Swelling and bruising is normal following a Thigh Lift, and will usually subside in 4 to 6 weeks following the surgery.

What Are The Risks of Thigh Lift?

Like any major surgery, Thigh Lift surgery has certain risks associated with it. These risks include, but are not limited to:

  • Fluid accumulation near the skin, Seroma
  • Infection
  • Swelling
  • Poor wound healing
  • Blood clots, Hematoma
  • Scarring
  • Changes in skin sensation
  • Adverse reaction to anesthesia

Georgia Harley reviewed What an amazing experience

What an amazing experience. Like most, the idea of travelling to another country for a medical procedure was nerve wracking at first however, my amazing care co ordinator Sean was there every step of the way! I arrived on the 31st December and everything from my booking experience, hospital stay, pre op tests, gastric sleeve surgery , transport home and post op assistance has exceeded alp expectations. I am from the UK and all of the care far surpassed anything that I have recieved in the UK. Sean has also been there post me returning to the UK to check in and respond quickly to any post op questions that I have had. Would 100% reccomend

Had a bit of a mix up but this was easily fixed and my feedback taken onboard for future patients 😊 The hospital is immaculate with very friendly and caring staff. I was very well looked after before and after surgery. After surgery nurses would check on me every 1.5/2 hours and if I rang the bell they would come instantly. Translators were brilliant and the staff who didn’t speak much English was very good with google translate 😊 The care and the cleanliness at the hospital I went to Medistanbul was out of the world. Puts the UK hospitals to shame honestly! Had so many family & friends telling me don’t go abroad for surgery but it’s the best thing I ever done! My coordinator Rick Miller was so quick at responding, always kept me up to date and was very helpful throughout the whole process. My surgeon was Prof Dr Kagan Katar who was very professional, he came to see me before and after operation Also the transfer driver Orhan was amazing he was so helpful with our bags in the huge airport and sorted us out with wheelchairs Had a brilliant experience

customer reviewed Dr Ahmet - arm lift and Sr Emre - face, neck, eyes. First class

I had arm lift surgery with Dr Ahmet on 8 October 2024. David Turker was my co ordinator. From the collection at the airport to dropping be off ;I also had dental implant and my partner has a hair transplant) everything went smoothly. They’re organised and efficient. There are several interpreters and staff who work for Booking Surgery who are resident at different times in the ward of the hospitals. On 30/1/24 I returned to finish off my tooth implant and to have a deep plane facelift, a neck lift and upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Again everyone was fantastic. My only critique is the hospitals’ food, which, similar to UK is not great but I knew that prior to going and found out where the nearest shops were. I also ordered in pizza via the helpers and they got me stuff from the shop. They also got me a soft pillow as the pillow on my hospital bed the second time was like a boulder with wee pebbles in it LOL. But this is a minor thing and plenty of cheap pillows for sale nearby. I felt that my treatment in Istanbul was better than any I’d ever received in the UK and I’ve had over 5 operations in Scotland. The nurses in Turkey are so kind and compassionate. Any medication you need for any ancillary issues that arise is readily prescribed to you. The surgeons are lovely too and experienced and professional. I had Dr Emre Koçman for my face etc., ab older guy in his 60s with great experience. I’m not 10 days post op and pleased Ruth progress. I’m 65 and once healed I'm going to look 45. That wasn’t my aim but I’ll take it LOL ! Thank you booking surgery. You’re the best. Maxine
