Thigh Lift (Leg Lift)
Especially on the inner leg, there are skin deformations caused by aging and excessive weight gain and loss. If these deformations cannot be corrected with sports and exercise, it is very difficult to correct them due to the very thin skin structure. Therefore, surgical operations can be applied in the region. This is exactly the area of interest of thigh lift operations. The way to restore the legs that have lost their flexibility and aesthetic appearance to their former appearance is through thigh lift operations.
F.A.Q.
Thigh lift operation has no risk in addition to other surgical operations. There is no risk except for problems such as late healing and edema after the operation, which can be seen in every surgery.
It is sufficient to stay under observation for 1 night after the operation. After 3 days you can take a shower, and after 1 week you can completely return to daily life and work life.
As in every surgical operation, this procedure also leaves a small scar on the body. However, this scar is positioned at points that are not visible to the eye and it is ensured that it is as less prominent as possible.
In general, the result is permanent. If regular sports and healthy eating habits are adopted, there will be no fat and sagging in the relevant area again. Therefore, the procedure does not need to be performed again.
The operation takes 2-3 hours. After the operation, it is necessary to stay under observation in the hospital for 1 day.

Who Can Benefit from Thigh Lift Surgery?
Thigh lift surgery is often preferred by individuals experiencing sagging skin and deformities in the thigh area that have not improved despite regular exercise and healthy eating habits. While the procedure is commonly chosen by individuals aged 40 and above, it is suitable for people of all ages who are seeking a more aesthetic appearance. However, before undergoing the operation, the individual's overall health status should be evaluated, and the suitability of the surgical intervention should be determined by a doctor.
How Is Thigh Lift Surgery Performed?
Thigh lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. During the procedure, an incision is made in the inner part of the upper thigh where excess skin is sagging, and through this incision, excess skin and fat tissue are removed. Subsequently, the skin is tightened and stitched to the groin area. This procedure is nearly invisible as it is located in the area between the groin and thigh. In some cases, it may not be sufficient on its own, and a T-shaped incision may be required. This method is often combined with laser liposuction. Thigh lift surgery can be customized according to the individual's needs and skin condition and is performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Burak PASİNLİOĞLU.
Recovery Process After Thigh Lift Surgery
After the operation, the patient is usually kept under observation for a day, and a careful recovery process is followed for several weeks after discharge. During the recovery process, swelling and bruising may occur in the area, which gradually subsides over time. As the operation site is directly on the movement area, it is important to restrict movements during the recovery period. Showers can typically be taken within a few days after the operation, and light exercises can be resumed. However, heavy sports and physical activities should be avoided, and the doctor's recommendations should be followed. For long-lasting results, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, balanced diet, and regular exercise are important.
Thigh lift surgery is an effective option for improving leg aesthetics and achieving a firm, youthful appearance. However, like any surgical procedure, it carries certain risks and should be managed correctly. Under the guidance of an experienced surgeon like Dr. Burak PASİNLİOĞLU, a detailed evaluation should be conducted to determine whether you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.
