About Thigh Lift (Thighplasty)
A thigh lift, clinically known as thighplasty, is a body-contouring surgery that removes excess skin and residual fat from the inner and outer thighs to deliver a smoother, firmer and more proportionate lower-body silhouette. It is a defining solution for patients whose thighs remain heavy or loose after major weight loss, pregnancies or aging – areas that rarely respond to liposuction alone because the excess skin must be excised. At BeautsGO partner hospitals, thighplasty can be combined with circumferential body lifts or VASER liposculpture.
Ideal Candidate
Adults at or near a stable weight (within 5-10 kg of goal) with loose sagging inner or outer thigh skin, chafing-related discomfort, or thigh contour disproportionate to the rest of the body. Best suited to non-smokers in good health with realistic expectations.
Proven Results
Improvement is visible within 3-4 weeks as initial swelling subsides. Contour continues to refine over 4-6 months as deep tissues soften and scars mature. Incision lines flatten and fade considerably over 12-18 months with proper scar care.
Your Timeline
Preparation
