A thigh lift is a surgical procedure designed to tighten and smooth the skin of the thighs. This operation removes excess skin and underlying fat, improving the contour of the thighs and addressing sagging or loose skin. It is a common area patients would like tightened after significant weight loss. The goal of the procedure is to tighten the loose skin that you find in the upper thigh area and around the knee
Mr Fitzgerald O’Connor performs all of his surgeries himself. This operation removes excess skin, sometimes, but not always, the use of liposuction to help define the thigh.
You may be a good candidate for a thigh lift if you:
Have excess skin and fat on the inner or outer thighs.
Want to tighten loose or sagging skin.
Are at or near a stable weight and not planning significant weight loss in the future.
Have good overall health.
Are okay with visible scars along the thighs, which may be visible when wearing certain clothing.
In terms of scarring, in procedures like this there is always a trade off between the size of scars and tightness of the skin. The tighter the skin the longer the scar.
The scar for a thigh lift will be visible along the inner aspect of the thigh from the groin to the knee or in the case of a crescent thigh lift discreetly in the groin line only.
In terms of how the scars will heal and fade over time, everyone is different and the appearance will depend on skin tone, elasticity and how your skin heals. Typically in a thigh lift scare are well-concealed but permanent.
A thigh lift is not a minor operation.
The recovery process includes swelling, bruising and some discomfort, which is managed with medication. You will wear compression garments to help control swelling and promote skin contraction.
All my patients have 24/7 direct access to a specialist plastics nurse who is on hand to offer advice, answer any questions or deal with any concerns that may arise.
After a thigh lift has healed the results can be dramatic in terms of the contour improvement patients see.
I perform all of my operations at leading London hospitals with full emergency care available. As with any surgical procedure, it's essential we discuss the risks together so you are fully informed of what you are undertaking.
