A thigh lift, thighplasty or lipoedema surgery is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the thighs by removing excess or loosening skin and fat around the thigh area. This procedure is ideal for individuals looking to achieve firmer, more contoured thighs, particularly after significant weight loss has left sagging skin. Book a consultation at London Private Hospital to get a personalised thigh lift surgery consultancy.
The skin on the thighs tends to sag due to ageing, fluctuations in weight, and genetic factors. The thigh area naturally accumulates more fat. It’s usually difficult to lose weight in this area, even when you’ve achieved a flat tummy after regular exercise and a nutritionally balanced diet. Thighplasty can eliminate the excess skin and fats and inset the underlying tissues to obtain a toned form. Moreover, lipoedema treatment also creates a flattering body contouring image to increase your confidence.
Thigh lift surgery is a cosmetic operation targeting improving the appearance. During the surgery, a highly-trained plastic surgeon, creates precise incisions on the thigh, usually in natural body folds or the groin crease, excising the tissue in question. After that, the remaining skin is put back together and sutured, making it tighter in the process and creating a firm and smoothness-enhanced contour. Such surgery can focus on the inner or outer thigh, or both. In the process, a highly-dimensional outcome is achieved, improving lower-body harmony and balance.
Thigh lift, like any other surgical intervention, can cause certain side effects and complications. There are usually such symptoms as swellings, bruises, and some, often temporary, sensitivities the patient might feel. However, in some rare cases, some more serious conditions may develop, such as improper healing of the wound. Nevertheless, side effects and complications are rare, and at London Private Hospital, we always do everything possible to minimize any risks. Moreover, you will get the fullest instructions on how to behave and what to expect before and after the intervention to go through the recovery process safely.

Let’s find out!
Do You Have Excess Skin? If you have significant loose, excess skin on your thighs due to weight loss or natural aging, a thigh lift can be beneficial.
Do You Maintain a Stable Weight? Ideal candidates are those who have reached a stable weight, as fluctuations can affect the long-term results of the surgery.
Are You Seeking Improvement? It’s important to have realistic expectations about the outcome. A thigh lift will improve the shape and tone of your thighs, but it won’t necessarily achieve perfection.
How Is Your Overall Health? Being in good overall health and free from medical conditions that impair healing is crucial for surgical success.
Do You Smoke? Smoking can severely compromise the body’s ability to heal, so non-smokers or those who can quit smoking well before and after the surgery are ideal candidates.
Are You Committed to a Healthy Lifestyle? Continuing a healthy lifestyle with proper nutrition and exercise is essential to maintain the results of the surgery.

Initial recovery is about 2-3 weeks, but you need to follow your surgeon’s aftercare recommendations and avoid strenuous tasks. Final results are usually seen after months, when all swelling is gone and the skin tightened.
The thigh lift is associated with two scars: one in the groin area or another following the body’s natural folds. However, the scars are minimal and with time these fades and become quite unnoticeable.
Thigh lift is often combined with the tummy tuck or full body lift to enhance the obtained effects and produce the most desirable outcome.
Even operation that reduces your thigh in size will not prevent them from gaining weight in case of bad diet and a lack of exercising. The results are also affected anyway by the body’s natural ageing.
