Thigh lift surgery is an aesthetic and functional intervention that involves the removal of the skin in the inner thighs and the adipose tissue under it, which loses its elasticity after aging and excessive weight gain, and the tightening of the thigh. Thanks to this surgical procedure, both the inner part of the leg is given a tense appearance and the discomforts caused by the friction of this area are dramatically corrected.

Ideal candidates for thigh lift aesthetics are individuals who have a relatively good body size, but have loose skin and excess adipose tissue on the inner thighs that cannot be corrected with exercise and diet. Fat removal with liposuction or other aesthetic interventions can also be recommended in addition to this process if necessary.

The incisions made in the operation are made in such a way that they can be hidden under the butt and in the groin area, which will not be visible as much as possible. With open incisions from the part extending from the groin area to the inner part of the thigh, the subcutaneous fat tissue and excess skin that causes sagging are removed and the area is recovered.

Post Thigh Lift Surgery
