During a thigh lift, incisions are made in strategic locations on the inner thigh, outer thigh, or both, based on the specific areas needing correction. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining skin is tightened to achieve a firmer and more defined thigh contour.

The duration of a thigh lift procedure can range from 2 to 4 hours, depending on the extent of correction required. Various techniques, such as medial thigh lift or lateral thigh lift, may be employed based on individual needs to address specific areas of concern and achieve optimal results.

Following the procedure, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and temporary discomfort around the thighs. Wearing compression garments is typically recommended to support the healing process and reduce swelling. Most individuals can resume light activities within a few weeks, gradually increasing activity levels. Adherence to post-operative care instructions and attending follow-up appointments are crucial for optimal healing and achieving desired outcomes.
