Thigh lift
A thigh lift is an operation to reshape and tighten your thighs.
It is most helpful if you have loose or sagging skin on your thighs, which can occur as you age or after significant weight loss. This extra skin can affect your confidence, make it difficult to wear certain clothes, and cause problems such as rashes, chafing, and discomfort. Unfortunately, it tends not to improve with exercise and can only be treated by removing it surgically.
A thigh lift operation removes the excess skin and fat and tightens your remaining skin to give your thighs a smoother, more toned look. Typically, it leaves a scar just below your groin crease and/or on the inside of your thigh. It may be combined with liposuction to treat stubborn areas of fat and create a more sculpted look.
