A thigh lift can help reshape the thighs by reducing excess skin and fat, contributing to a smoother and more balanced body profile.
Removing loose skin may help reduce chafing and improve comfort, particularly during movement or warmer weather.
Many people find that addressing excess skin can enhance clothing fit and overall body proportion.
The procedure can assist in tightening areas where skin has lost elasticity due to ageing or weight changes.
At Aurez Aesthetics, your health, safety, and goals are our top priorities. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your medical history, assess your suitability, and ensure expectations are realistic.
Common considerations include:
Addressing excess or sagging skin after significant weight reduction.
Managing changes in skin tone and elasticity that occur over time.
Reducing discomfort or self-consciousness caused by loose or drooping skin.
Seeking a more proportionate thigh contour through a surgical approach.
We begin by discussing your goals and reviewing your health and skin condition. Your practitioner will outline potential approaches and expected recovery timelines.
You’ll receive detailed pre-operative instructions to help ensure safety and optimal healing.
Performed by qualified practitioners, the thigh lift involves removing excess skin and tissue to improve thigh contour. Techniques are selected based on your individual anatomy and desired outcome.
Recovery times vary, but patients can generally expect some swelling, bruising, or temporary discomfort. We’ll provide detailed aftercare guidance, including wound care, mobility recommendations, and follow-up appointments.
Note: As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, including infection, scarring, asymmetry, and changes in skin sensation. Your practitioner will discuss these in detail during your consultation.
Most patients can return to light activities within 1-2 weeks, but more strenuous activities should be avoided for 4-6 weeks.
Whilst scars are an inevitable part of the surgery, we position them in inconspicuous locations. Over time, the scars tend to fade and become less noticeable.
You can engage in light activities in about 2 weeks, but it's advised to wait approximately 4-6 weeks for intense exertion.
Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle can help support and prolong your thigh lift results.
Your satisfaction is crucial. We are on hand to address any concerns and explore potential revisions if necessary.
Preparation may include avoiding specific medications, smoking cessation, and ensuring optimal health. We'll guide you every step of the way.
Thigh lift surgery is a surgical procedure and, as with all surgery, carries inherent risks and potential complications. These may include bleeding, bruising, swelling, pain, infection, delayed wound healing, fluid accumulation (seroma), haematoma, and adverse reactions to local or general anaesthesia. Scarring is an expected outcome of thigh lift surgery. The length, location, and appearance of scars vary depending on the surgical technique used, individual anatomy, skin quality, and healing response. Scars may be prominent, widen, become raised, or remain visible despite appropriate care. Changes in skin sensation, including numbness, tingling, altered sensitivity, or discomfort of the thighs or surrounding areas, may occur. These changes are usually temporary but may be prolonged or permanent in some cases. Contour irregularities, asymmetry, skin laxity, residual fullness, over- or under-correction, or dissatisfaction with aesthetic outcome may occur. Revision surgery may be required to address these concerns. Wound complications such as wound separation, skin breakdown, delayed closure, or skin necrosis may occur, particularly in areas of tension or friction. These complications may require additional treatment, dressings, or further surgical intervention. More serious but less common risks include deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, fat embolism, or cardiopulmonary complications. These risks are increased by factors such as smoking, obesity, reduced mobility, certain medical conditions, and prolonged surgery. Results vary between individuals and cannot be guaranteed. Individual risk depends on factors including overall health, smoking status, body mass index, skin quality, surgical technique, and adherence to post-operative instructions. These risks, along with alternatives, limitations, and expected recovery, will be discussed in detail during your consultation to support informed decision-making.
Costs will vary depending on individual requirements and the complexity of the procedure. We will provide a detailed cost structure during our consultation.
