There are different types of thigh lifts that are achieved via different incisions. Our consultant doctors will help you choose the best surgery to meet your personal needs. Below are the different types of things to consider:
Inner Thigh Lift (Medial Thigh Lift)
A medial thigh lift is the most common form of this cosmetic surgery. It addresses sagging skin in your inner thighs via an incision from your groin down toward your knee or toward the back of your thigh area.
Mini thigh lift
This procedure requires fewer incisions than other types of thigh lifts, only involving an incision in your groin area. It works well if you’re wanting to focus on the upper-inner part of your thigh only.
Vertical thigh lift
This procedure is perfect for those wanting to target a lot of excess skin on all of your thigh, It requires larger incisions that extend down to your knees.
Outer/Bilateral Thigh Lift
This kind of thigh lift targets the extra skin and fat on the outside of the leg. From the groin area, the surgeon makes an incision that extends toward the hip and lower back. After removing any extra skin and fat, the skin is then sutured together.
Spiral Lift
The intensity of a spiral lift exceeds that of a regular thigh lift. Another name for it is a complete thigh lift. In essence, a spiral lift targets all four thighs (the front, back, inner, and outer) in one procedure. Additionally, the buttocks and hip region are affected. The body contouring operation combines aspects of buttock augmentation, liposuction, and thigh lift surgery. It might also incorporate some methods for skin tightening.
Lift with liposuction
In some cases, the thigh area may have poor skin elasticity. Your surgeon may recommend liposuction in addition to thigh lift surgery to help remove excess fat cells and prevent sagging skin.
Thigh Lift Recovery:
After the procedure, you’ll Likely feel discomfort, bruising, and swelling for a few days. Even though you should see increased definition in your thighs immediately away, the complete effects won’t become apparent for several months.

Thigh Lift FAQ
Yes. In order to better contour the legs and to shrink the size of the “saddle bags” or love handles or other problem regions, both the medial and extended thigh lifts can frequently be paired with minimal liposuction.
The primary goal of a thigh lift is to remove extra skin and fat from the inner thighs before sewing the ends together. It is a pretty simple surgical procedure in practice. However, the treatment is relatively time-consuming and can take up to 2 hours to perform because of the enormous area and length of the wound that needs suturing.
Dissolving sutures are used to close the incision, and the skin’s surface is subsequently covered with surgical tapes. The thighs are then wrapped in a bandage to provide some compression and stop any bleeding and swelling.
It is never feasible to anticipate how a scar may look in the future. In fact, thigh lift scars that resemble a hairline are extremely unusual. These always initially appear red, elevated, and lumpy in the initial months following surgery, but in most people, they do tend to settle over time.
The majority of patients often need two weeks off from their demanding jobs. Many patients believe they can gradually begin to resume their normal activities after this, with the goal of being able to fully resume their normal activities starting six weeks after having a thigh lift surgery, depending on the type of thigh lift that was performed and provided healing proceeds without emergency. It’s vital to keep in mind that at this point, a little amount of swelling will still be visible and won’t go away completely for a few months.
