Thigh Lift
Sagging in the inner thighs can occur due to factors such as frequent weight fluctuations, gravity, aging, and liposuction procedures performed on the inner thighs where there is less firmness and excessive fat accumulation. The removal of this excess skin and fat layer to reshape the inner thigh contour is called a thigh lift operation.
If excessive fat accumulation accompanies sagging in the inner thighs, aggressive liposuction procedures may worsen the sagging. As with any operation, it is important to clearly define the patient's expectations during the consultation with the surgeon before a thigh lift operation.

Op. Dr. İlhan Serdaroğlu
I have been serving patients for over 25 years.
I graduated with honors from Marmara University Faculty of Medicine and completed my specialization in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Akdeniz University. I believe that surgical experience, the selection of the right technique, and personalized planning are crucial in hair restoration. A natural, anatomically appropriate hairline design and a tissue-respecting surgical approach that reduces the risk of complications are essential in hair transplantation. While aiming to reduce the psychological effects of hair loss in both men and women, I also strive to apply medical and scientific supportive treatments and share my experiences globally.

How is the operation performed?
Thigh lift is a procedure performed under general anesthesia in an operating room. The operation takes approximately 3-3.5 hours, and the patient can be discharged from the hospital the next day. In this operation, excess sagging skin and fat tissue are removed through an incision made on the inner thigh. The inner thigh is then lifted upwards, resulting in a flatter and firmer inner thigh.
What precautions should be taken after the operation?
Patients can shower two days after the operation. A pinkish discharge from the wound is normal in the first few days. After the dressings are changed and the scar is checked on the third day, the patient can return to normal daily activities in the second week. They can start climbing stairs. Activities that put pressure on the wound should be avoided in the first few days. Strenuous exercise and all kinds of activities are permitted after the 6th week.
What do the scars look like after the operation?
The incision for the operation starts at the groin line in the front and extends towards the buttocks at the back. After the first two weeks, this red line gradually takes on the skin color and fades. Since the scar will be hidden within underwear, it will not be visible from the outside. The final result takes 12-18 months.
What are the complications?
To prevent undesirable situations such as impaired blood supply, wound dehiscence, and infection, especially in smokers, we recommend that our patients quit smoking at least 3 weeks before the procedure. Thigh lift operations, like other lift operations (face, arm, and tummy tucks, etc.), have permanent results.
Can the inner thigh be corrected with liposuction alone?
In patients with firm skin, sufficient and active muscle tissue, and mild fat deposits, it is possible to achieve results with liposuction. Furthermore, in cases with severe cellulite and fat, liposuction can be performed first, followed by a lift, to increase the surface area of skin to be removed and excise more skin during the lift operation. This way, the inner part of the swollen skin is emptied, making the sagging more pronounced and yielding a more effective result.
