Thigh Lift in Turkey
A thighplasty surgery is a cosmetic surgery for toned, better-proportioned, contoured legs. A leg lift surgery involves toning the saggy skin, removing stubborn fat, and improving skin elasticity.
This surgery is often preferred by patients who have lost significant weight or are experiencing saggy skin due to aging.
For those with poor skin elasticity, a thigh lift combined with liposuction may be recommended to achieve optimal results. Beyond aesthetic improvements, this procedure can also relieve discomfort and irritation caused when your thighs rub together, enhancing your overall quality of life.
Thighplasty Surgery Goals
The outcome of your surgery can change depending on the purpose of your getting a thighplasty. However common goals are:
- Firmer muscles
- Toned legs
- Better proportioned legs
- Less saggy skin
- Reducing the rubbing movement
- Reducing stretch marks
Candidates for Leg Lift Surgery (Thighplasty)
If you are dissatisfied with the appearance of your legs after a major weight loss, thigh lift surgery might be a suitable option for you.
Many candidates choose thighplasty to address issues like cellulite, chafing, and sagging skin. You may be a good candidate for this procedure if you meet the following criteria:
- Don’t smoke
- Don’t have any underlying medical conditions
- Don’t have a condition that can complicate your recovery
- Have been maintaining your weight at least for a year
- Are not planning to lose weight
Post-Op Care and Maintenance
The total recovery period after thigh surgery is typically around 6 weeks. You will start seeing noticeable results around this time.
Your hospital stay will last for 2-3 nights. During your hospital stay, you’ll be encouraged to begin walking on the same day of your surgery, even if it feels a bit uncomfortable. Compression garments will be provided. You’ll need to wear these for the first six weeks post-op to support healing and reduce swelling.
After being discharged from the hospital, you should prioritize resting for at least two weeks. Then you can gradually start light activities and go back to work. Do not resume weary activities for at least 4 weeks.
During recovery, taking type 1 collagen can help boost collagen and elastin production in your body. Collagen supplements are typically consumed orally for best results.

Thighplasty Types
Full Thigh Lift (Extended Medial Thigh Lift)
A full thigh lift is also referred to as a complete thigh lift. This type of thighplasty addresses both the inner and outer thighs. The surgery involves removing excess skin and fat for a comprehensive reshaping of the leg.
The surgery involves incisions in the groin area and extends down the inner thigh, possibly wrapping around the outer thigh or even reaching the buttocks and hips. The surgeon removes excess fat and skin, tightens the underlying tissues, and repositions the skin to create a smoother, more contoured leg shape.
This procedure is ideal for patients with significant sagging due to aging or major weight loss.
Mini Thigh Lift
A mini thigh lift is less invasive and only focuses on the upper part of the inner thighs.
This type of thighplasty is ideal for people with minor skin laxity in the upper inner thighs and those who experience chafing.
The procedure involves a shorter incision in the groin area, removing smaller amounts of skin.
Inner Thigh Lift (Medial Thigh Lift)
The inner thighs are more prone to sagging, especially after a major weight loss. A medial thigh lift is generally preferred by patients who have saggy skin on the medial area.
The procedure involves an incision in the groin area, extending down toward the knee or wrapping around the back of the thigh. This allows the surgeon to remove excess skin and tighten the area.
Outer Thigh Lift (Lateral Thigh Lift)
This surgery is also referred to as bilateral thigh lift. An outer thigh lift focuses on the outer parts (the waist and hips) area. This type of surgery is ideal for patients who have saggy skin on the outer thighs especially after significant weight loss or due to aging.
The procedure involves making incisions that begin at the groin and extend around the hip. The surgeon will then remove excess skin and fat from the outer thigh and buttocks area.
Vertical Thigh Lift
A vertical thigh lift focuses on the inner thigh. This surgery is ideal for patients with more substantial sagging in the inner thighs who need more extensive reshaping.
The procedure involves an incision from the groin area to the inner knee. This type of surgery allows more excess skin and fat removal.
Spiral Thigh Lift
Spiral Thigh Lift focuses on multiple areas such as inner thighs, outer thighs, buttocks, and hips.
This surgery provides a “spiral” around the leg to remove excess skin and fat from multiple areas of the leg.
This type of surgery is ideal for patients who have had major weight loss due to bariatric surgeries.
Posterior Lift
A posterior thigh lift focuses on the back of the thighs and buttocks. This type of surgery addresses more specific areas of the leg and is only ideal for individuals who have loose skin in these areas.
The procedure involves incisions along the buttock crease (gluteal sulcus) or lower back of the thighs and buttocks.
Thigh Lift with Liposuction
You can combine liposuction with a thigh lift in specific cases.
A thigh lift is to remove the excess skin and the fat cells that are stuck on the skin. However, in some cases, there could be fat deposits in certain areas. To remove them liposuction is needed as a thigh lift does not involve fat reduction.
A thigh lift with liposuction allows for a more toned, contoured look, and more aesthetic outcomes.
