Not sure whether thigh lift is right for you?
Let us guide youOften suitable for
Loose skin on the thighs
Excess skin after weight loss
Stable weight
Desire for medial or lateral contour restoration
How does the treatment work?
A medial thigh lift uses an L-shaped scar from the groin crease toward the inner thigh.
With extreme excess skin, a lateral thigh lift on the outer side may also be needed. The procedure is combined with liposuction to preserve contour and vascular structures.
Medial correction
Excision from the groin crease toward the inner thigh.
Lateral correction
With extensive excess skin, an excision on the outer side can be added.
Refine contour
Liposuction improves the contour and helps preserve small lymphatic and blood vessels.
For thigh lift we choose an approach that fits your expectations, with precise technique and smooth recovery.

Frequently asked questions
Which thigh lift do I need?
That depends on the location and extent of the excess skin. A medial or, with more excess skin, lateral thigh lift can be discussed.
Why may heparin injections be advised?
Depending on your personal risk profile, they may be suggested to reduce the risk of thrombophlebitis.
How long do the scars take to heal?
The scars need approximately one year to settle; in the early phase, we advise silicone sheets.
