Thigh Lift

The leg is examined in two sections: thigh above the knee and calf below the knee. Problems in the upper part of the leg are usually caused by sagging and tears caused by excess weight or sudden changes in weight. Problems in the lower part are usually hereditary conditions such as crookedness or thinness. Treatment may vary depending on the complaint and the region. Your doctor will decide on the most suitable treatment after a thorough examination. After bariatric surgery or due to excessive weight loss and ageing, sagging may occur in the inner thigh and thigh area.

 The length of the surgical scar varies depending on the severity of the sagging. The scar can remain in the area from the knee to the groin. Sometimes liposuction is also performed in the same session on patients who have both excess fatty tissue and sagging.

It can be performed on all age groups. It is recommended to stop smoking at least 1 month before the procedure.

The operation takes 1 to 3 hours. It is performed under general anaesthetic and the average hospital stay is 1 day. You can resume your daily life after an average of 2 weeks.

It is recommended to wear a corset for about 6 weeks to reduce oedema.
