    The thigh lift procedure

    A thigh lift is an excellent option for rejuvenating and improving the contour of your thighs, bringing about a firmer and more uniform appearance. Below is a detailed description of the procedure, including all steps from anesthesia to closing the incisions.

  • 02

    Anesthesia

    A thigh lift is usually performed under general anesthesia. This ensures that you remain comfortable and painless throughout the procedure. The anesthesiologist will tailor the anesthesia to your needs, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience.

  • 03

    Incision placement

    The incision plan for the thigh lift is carefully planned and individualized according to the technique to be used. Incisions are placed to be as inconspicuous as possible, usually hidden in the natural skin folds or on the inner side of the thighs. This allows the surgeon to have the necessary access to remove excess skin and fat, while minimizing the visibility of the incisions.

    Tissue Tightening and Contouring

    After the incisions are made, the surgeon removes excess skin and fat from the thigh area. He then proceeds to tighten the underlying tissues to form a smoother, sculpted contour. This procedure ensures an aesthetically pleasing and youthful appearance, improving the shape and overall contour of the thighs.

    Closure of the incision

    After the tightening procedure is complete, incisions are carefully closed using sutures or surgical glue. The surgeon may also place drains to prevent fluid buildup and facilitate the healing process. Drains are usually removed within a few days, and the final result is smooth and natural.

Inner thigh lift

An inner thigh lift focuses on the inner thigh area, where skin laxity and fat accumulation is often seen. The procedure involves making an incision in the groin area to remove excess tissue and tighten the remaining skin. This technique is ideal for people with mild to moderate sagging on the inner side of the thighs.

Bilateral thigh lift

The bilateral thigh lift is suitable for treating laxity on both the inner and outer thigh area. It involves making an incision along the groin, which extends around the back of the hips. Through this incision, excess skin and fat is removed, the underlying tissues are tightened and the remaining skin is repositioned for a more sculpted and shapely result.

Mid-thigh lift

The mid-thigh lift targets the upper part of the inner thigh, near the groin. The procedure involves making an incision in the groin area, which extends downwards to the back of the thigh. This incision allows for the removal of excess skin and fat, as well as tightening of the remaining tissues, resulting in a smoother and more youthful thigh contour.

Outer thigh lift

The outer thigh lift, or lateral thigh lift, focuses on the outer thigh area. The surgeon makes an incision along the outer side of the hip, which extends to the crease of the buttocks. Through this incision, excess skin and fat are removed, while the remaining tissues are tightened, creating a more toned and defined appearance to the thighs.

Benefits of the Thigh Lift

A thigh lift (thigh lift) offers several significant benefits for those who wish to improve the look and feel of the thigh area.

1. Spectacular Skin Tightening and Thigh Shape Sculpting

The thigh lift provides dramatic tightening of the skin, making it smooth and firm. The removal of excess skin and fat contributes to a more shapely and refreshed thigh contour, providing a more attractive and youthful appearance.

2. Restoration of the proportion between the upper and lower part of the body

The procedure brings out the harmony between the upper and lower body parts, improving the overall body proportion. It eliminates the imbalance caused by excess skin and fat, creating a stronger and more balanced appearance.

3. Removing Stretch marks and deformities from the inner side of the thighs

A thigh lift can help remove stretch marks and other deformities that may be present on the inner side of the thighs. The procedure improves the quality of the skin, providing a more even and smooth surface.

4. Significant Improvement in the Appearance of Cellulite

Removing excess skin and improving skin consistency helps reduce the appearance of cellulite. Thigh lift contributes to a smoother surface, making cellulite less visible.

5. Results that last forever

The results of a thigh lift are long-lasting. As long as you maintain a stable weight and follow a healthy lifestyle, the results of the procedure can last forever, offering long-term improvement in the appearance of your thighs.

A thigh lift not only offers aesthetic benefits, but also improves your functionality and quality of life, making it a popular option for those who desire a more sculpted and youthful appearance.
