Aging, weight changes, and gravity can take their toll on the body. Over time, the skin loses elasticity, so that it doesn't spring back after weight loss (such as following bariatric surgery) or pregnancy. Loose skin on the legs can hang in folds, making them look droopy and wrinkled.

Excess skin can be unattractive and uncomfortable, but a Thigh Lift can get rid of excess skin and streamline your legs so that they appear trim, toned, and even.

If your thighs are affecting your self-esteem, or you’re too self-conscious to wear shorts or swimwear, the specialist surgeons at Bella Vou can help. A Thigh Lift can rejuvenate your legs, smooth your body contour, and give your confidence a boost.

At Bella Vou, Thigh Lift surgery is usually performed under general anaesthetic, although local anaesthesia may be used for people with smaller amounts of excess tissue. It is generally done as a day case procedure, meaning you won’t need to stay in hospital overnight.

The specialist plastic surgeon makes an incision in the groin so that the scar is discreetly hidden. The extent of surgery and scarring depends on the amount of loose skin and fat. If there is more tissue to remove, the scar will extend from the groin down the inner thigh and towards the inner knee.

The surgeon will remove all the excess skin and fatty tissue and smooth the skin, pulling it tightly so that the thighs are smooth and shapely.

For some people, the treatment may be combined with Vaser Liposculpting, liposuction, and Renuvion skin tightening to achieve the best cosmetic results.

Some bruising, swelling, and discomfort are normal following Thigh Lift surgery. The surgeons will provide elasticated support garments to reduce pain and swelling and improve recovery.

Your surgeon will provide individual guidance on when it's safe to return to normal activities. In general, most people can return to work around two weeks following surgery. Driving can be restarted between two and four weeks after your operation, and it's important to wait between four weeks and six weeks before undertaking exercise.
