A thigh lift is an aesthetic operation applied to eliminate sagging, loosening, and excess skin that develop over time in the inner thigh area. The procedure involves removing excess skin and fat to achieve tighter, smoother, and more proportionate thighs. It is suitable for individuals experiencing significant changes in leg form due to weight loss or aging. Thigh lift surgery enhances aesthetic appearance and facilitates easier movement.
Thigh lift surgery is an aesthetic surgical procedure performed to correct sagging, looseness, and excess skin appearance that develops over time, especially in the inner thigh area. Typically, aging, rapid weight fluctuations, or the post-pregnancy period lead to a loss of elasticity in the thigh region. This not only causes an aesthetically disturbing appearance but also creates comfort-related problems in some individuals, such as chafing, irritation, and rashes while walking. Thigh lift surgery aims to eliminate excess skin and fat tissue, resulting in a tighter, smoother, and younger-looking leg silhouette.
Sagging and skin looseness in the thigh area often cannot be corrected through diet and exercise alone. In such cases, thigh lift surgery is an effective method used to improve one’s quality of life and body aesthetics.
The reasons for undergoing surgery include:
A thigh lift is not merely a cosmetic correction, but also a procedure that enhances comfort.

Thigh lift surgery can be performed using different techniques depending on the type, level, and location of the sagging and excess skin. The appropriate technique is determined by the surgeon based on the patient’s needs and body structure.
This method is preferred for individuals with more advanced sagging. A vertical incision is made from the groin to the inner knee, allowing removal of tissue from a larger area. It provides both aesthetic and functional improvement in severe cases, although the scar may be more visible.
If there is excess fat along with sagging, thigh lift surgery can be performed in combination with liposuction. First, the fat tissue is removed, then the excess skin is tightened and excised. This technique is highly advantageous for both aesthetics and long-term results.
Thigh lift surgery is suitable for individuals who have lost skin elasticity, experienced significant weight loss, or have developed bodily deformations after childbirth. However, the procedure can only be performed if the individual’s overall health condition is suitable for surgery.
Ideal candidates typically:
Those who are planning a pregnancy are advised to schedule the procedure accordingly.
As a surgical procedure, a thigh lift will leave some degree of scarring. However, these scars are often less noticeable than expected. With modern surgical techniques, incisions are typically made in areas that remain hidden under underwear, and are closed with aesthetic suturing methods. Especially those made along the groin line are usually not visible in daily life.
Thigh lift surgery does not have a fixed price, as each individual’s needs are different. The degree of sagging, the technique to be used (medial thigh, vertical incision, liposuction-assisted, etc.), the surgeon’s experience, and the city/clinic where the procedure will be performed all influence the price.
