Thighplasty (Thigh Lift)

Thighplasty (Thigh Lift) is an operation that reshapes the thighs by removing excess skin and fat and tightening underlying tissues to create a smoother, firmer contour. The procedure is tailored to the pattern of excess tissue—inner thigh, outer thigh, or circumferential—and may be combined with liposuction; incision patterns and anesthesia options are chosen based on the area treated and the patient’s anatomy.

Recovery typically involves several weeks of swelling and limited activity, and scars are permanent but are usually placed to be as inconspicuous as possible and tend to fade over time. Potential complications include seroma, infection, wound-healing issues, changes in skin sensation, and blood clots, so careful preoperative assessment and postoperative care are important to optimise results and long-term comfort.
