Alter Your Silhouette with a Thigh Lift

Is a Thigh Lift Right for You?

A Thigh Lift is ideal for those seeking to reshape their thighs by removing loose skin and stubborn fat deposits. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who:

• Have experienced significant weight loss, leading to sagging skin.
• Are in good overall health and maintain a stable weight.
• Have realistic expectations about the procedure and results.
• Are non-smokers or willing to quit before and after surgery.
• Struggle with chafing or discomfort due to excess thigh skin.

A thigh lift is not a weight-loss procedure but a body contouring solution that refines leg shape and enhances confidence.

How the Thigh Lift Procedure Procedure Works

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation with Dr. Mistry, where he will:

• Assess the degree of excess skin and fat on your thighs.
• Discuss your aesthetic goals and desired results.
• Review your medical history and perform a physical examination.
• Determine the most suitable technique for your body.
• Explain the expected outcomes, potential risks, and recovery process.

Pre-Operative Planning

If you decide to proceed with the procedure, Dr. Mistry will create a customised surgical plan, which includes:

• A step-by-step explanation of the procedure.
• Pre-surgery preparation guidelines, including any necessary tests.
• A personalised postoperative care plan to support recovery.

The Procedure

A Thigh Lift is typically performed under general anaesthesia to ensure patient comfort. The specific technique used depends on the severity of skin laxity and fat distribution.

Surgical Techniques

Inner Thigh Lift

• Focuses on tightening and reshaping the inner thighs.
• Incisions are made in the groin crease to minimise visible scarring.
• Best suited for mild to moderate skin laxity.

Medial Thigh Lift

• Addresses significant skin sagging along the inner thighs.
• Incision extends from the groin down toward the knee.
• Ideal for individuals with excess skin after major weight loss.

Outer (Lateral) Thigh Lift

• Reshapes the outer thighs and hip area.
• Often combined with a Lower Body Lift for comprehensive contouring.
• Incisions are placed strategically for minimal visibility.

Post-Operative Care

Following surgery, you will receive detailed recovery instructions, including:

• Wearing compression garments to reduce swelling and support healing.
• Keeping legs elevated to minimise discomfort.
• Avoiding strenuous activities for at least 4–6 weeks.
• Taking prescribed medications for pain management and infection prevention.
• Attending follow-up appointments to monitor healing and results.

Recovery & Results

Initial Recovery: 1–2 weeks (swelling and bruising gradually subside).
Full Recovery: 6–8 weeks (final results become more defined).

As healing progresses, the thighs appear firmer, smoother, and more sculpted. Dr. Mistry and his team provide ongoing support throughout recovery, ensuring optimal healing and satisfaction.

Possible Risks and Complications of Thigh Lift

As with any surgery, a Thigh Lift carries some risks.

Common Risks:

• Bruising and swelling, typically resolving within weeks.
• Temporary discomfort, managed with medication.
• Scarring (strategically placed for minimal visibility).
• Asymmetry, which may require minor adjustments.

Less Common Risks:

• Seroma Formation – Fluid buildup under the skin, requiring drainage.
• Poor Wound Healing – More common in smokers or those with certain medical conditions.
• Numbness or Sensation Changes – Usually temporary but may persist in some cases.
• Skin Irregularities – May require further refinements.

To minimise risks, it’s crucial to follow all pre- and post-operative instructions provided by Dr. Mistry.
