For many people, the upper thighs are one of those tricky areas. You can lose weight, exercise regularly, do everything right, and still find that the skin does not tighten the way you want it to. Sometimes it is down to ageing. Sometimes it is after weight loss. Either way, that loose skin or lack of definition can be stubborn. A thigh lift is often the step people take when nothing else quite works.
A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a surgical procedure that reshapes the thighs by removing excess skin and, if needed, a bit of fat. The goal is smoother skin and a more toned contour, not an unnatural look. For some, it focuses on the inner thighs. For others, it includes the outer or both. It depends on where the problem is and what kind of result you want. Many patients also consider combining a thigh lift with procedures such as liposuction or a tummy tuck for more balanced body contouring.
Recovery takes time, like any surgery. Swelling and bruising are expected at first, and you will need to take it easy for a few weeks. Most people wear a supportive garment to help with healing. Walking feels different at first, but things settle steadily. By a few months in, the shape starts to reveal itself properly. To support a smooth recovery, the hospital’s comprehensive aftercare programme ensures you receive regular follow-up and personalised guidance.
