Before the intervention

Two cosmetic surgery medical consultations with your cosmetic surgeon to analyze your thighs and figure and establish a surgical strategy. During these consultations, we evaluate the quality and tone of your skin.

Thigh lift procedure

The thigh lift is performed in the operating room under general anesthesia. It consists of tightening the skin of the thighs that has fallen off, and removing excess skin. The choice between the two existing techniques will be made according to your particular case and we will advise you on the surgical strategy that will bring you the most satisfaction.

Certaines personnes ont un excédent cutané très léger, et on leur proposera uniquement une cicatrice horizontale très discrète cachée dans le pli inguinal. Cette cicatrice est quasiment invisible en sous vêtements et Some people have a very slight skin excess, and we will only propose a very discreet horizontal scar hidden in the inguinal fold. This scar is almost invisible when wearing underwear or a bathing suit.

Other people have a more important skin excess, and we will propose a vertical scar to remove the excess skin on the whole height of the thigh. In this case, only the vertical scar allows the skin to be correctly tightened over the entire thigh.

Liposuction of the inner thighs and the knee is associated with the reshaping of the entire thigh.

The Urgotouch laser is frequently used to make the scar as discreet as possible.

Post-operation after a thigh lift

First of all, bruising and swelling will appear during the first two weeks after the operation.
The post-operative period is not very painful, but aches and pains and discomfort when walking are frequent for 15 days.
Afterwards, the activities of daily life can be resumed within a few days.
A support garment must be worn for 6 weeks to ensure an optimal result, and scar care and massages will be prescribed.
Air travel is not possible for two weeks.
Finally, the aesthetic result of the thigh lift is stable after several months for a final result at 1 year.
