Thigh Lift

A thigh lift or thighplasty is part of a cosmetic surgery procedure called body contouring. It is designed to remove large amounts of skin and fat from the hips and thighs.

The nature of this operation means long cuts need to be made in the skin and these will obviously leave long scars afterwards. The length of the scar will depend on how much excess skin is removed, and may extend across the outer and inner thighs; wherever possible these are positioned so that they can be hidden by underwear.

Elliptical segments of skin and underlying fat are removed from the thigh areas. The remaining skin and tissue are lifted to achieve a tightening and smoothing effect.

Thigh lifts are usually performed under a general anaesthetic. The operation usually takes 2 to 3 hours, depending on the extent of work required, (and if liposuction is performed at the same time), and you may be released to go home after a few hours, or stay in hospital for 1 or 2 days. Recovery generally takes two weeks or longer, and most people usually return to work in a couple of weeks, and resume vigorous exercise in approximately four to six weeks.

Private costs for a thigh lift range from approximately £5,000 - £6,000.

Please note that all clinics offering cosmetic surgery should be registered with the Healthcare Commission, as they need to follow certain standards for the safe provision of cosmetic surgery and receive regular inspections to ensure that National Minimum Standards are met.
