If you have loose sagging skin on your upper legs, fat deposits in your thighs, untoned leg contours, and uneven thigh proportions when compared to the rest of your body, then you can go for a thigh lift surgery.

The fundamental objective of a Thigh lift is to remove extra skin and fat from the inner thighs, then suture the ends together. In theory, it is a very simple surgical operation. However, because of the big area and length of wound that must be stitched, it is somewhat time-consuming and might take up to 2 to 3 hours to finish. Dissolving stitches and surgical tapes are used to close the incision line. To provide some compression and minimize swelling and bleeding, a bandage is wrapped around the thighs. 

Thigh Lift surgery is performed under general anaesthetic and usually spans between 2 to 3 hours. Typically, there are five main types of thigh lift surgeries.

Inner Thigh lift: An Inner thigh lift is the most popular form of cosmetic surgery. It uses an incision from your groin down toward your knee or toward the back of your thigh area to improve sagging skin in your inner thighs.

Mini Thigh lift: Depending on your specific requirements, you may be a candidate for a mini thigh lift. This treatment necessitates less incisions than other types of thigh lifts and only involves an incision in your groin region. It is ideal if you just want to focus your attention on the upper-inner aspect of your thigh.

Outer thigh lift: An outer thigh lift targets the outer sides of your thighs. An incision starts in your groin region and extends outward to your hip and lower back areas.

Vertical thigh lift: A vertical thigh lift is a surgical treatment that may be used to contour, remove, and replace extra skin on your thighs. It necessitates larger incisions that go down to your knees. Mr Ammar Allouni may not advise you this sort of thigh lift due to the high risk of complications.

Lift with liposuction: The thighs may have poor skin elasticity in certain situations. Liposuction, in conjunction with thigh lift surgery, may be used to remove fatty cells and prevent sagging skin.

During your first appointment at our clinic, Mr. Ammar Allouni will clarify all your questions regarding the procedure. He will recommend surgery only if it is the best option for you. You will also be encouraged to clarify any doubts regarding the recovery period, post-surgical care and the expected outcomes.

He will take your detailed medical history and conduct relevant clinical assessments, which might be followed by a 3D projection of the expected result – if surgery is indicated in your case. Additionally, he will inform you of the potential risks and complications of the surgery. 

Some of your medications might require adjustments prior to the surgery or additional drugs may be prescribed. You will be asked to discontinue drugs like aspirin and herbal medications (if any) for a few days before and after the procedure. 

Mr Ammar Allouni will also inform you about certain precautions to be taken before and after surgery. He will instruct you to quit smoking and to avoid consuming alcohol and recreational drugs for a few days before and after the surgery.

• Pre-Surgical Care: After your full body assessment and before your surgery day you get the list of precautionary measures – what all you should avoid and what all you should do for the best results.

• Day of Surgery: Mr Allouni follows the BAAPS (British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons) guidelines for all cosmetic procedures. On the day of surgery, your health status will be reassessed thoroughly and a qualified nurse will prepare you for the procedure. Mr Ammar Allouni and his team will ensure your well-being and comfort throughout the procedure.

• Post-Surgical Care: Mr Allouni and his team will be at your side while you are recovering. Once you are ready to go home you will be receiving a proper guideline of dos and don’ts that you need to follow and instructions on how often you need to be in touch with your surgeon to share your recovery status.

• Follow up Stage – FREE: You will be provided with a schedule about your follow up appointments. All your follow-ups with your surgeon will be completely free.

• Personalised Care: Once you have gone through your surgery, you can always directly contact with Mr Ammar Allouni and his team in case you face any issue or concern in future.

The recovery time for thigh lift surgery will vary case to case basis, but it is usually very little. It is suggested that you take at least two weeks off work following surgery, as there will be bruising and swelling that might take ten days to subside. Over the next few weeks, as you heal, your skin will become smoother and scars will begin to mend.

Thigh lift procedures have a long-term impact. If you put on weight excessively, for example, the thigh shape may revert to its pre-operative state. As a result, you must continue to maintain the outcome by following healthy eating and exercise habits. 

Risks of thigh lift surgery do exist, and it is critical to recognize them before undergoing surgery. Potential risks of thigh lift surgery include temporary swelling, numbness, scarring, poor healing, infection, nausea, haematoma, seroma and fat necrosis.
