The thighs, along with the abdomen and buttocks, are one of the most problematic areas of the female body because fat is often distributed unevenly in this area, forming so-called “saddlebags.” As a rule, such fat deposits are practically impossible to correct with diet or exhausting exercise, because after they disappear, sagging and flabby skin remains.
How a thigh lift is performed
In fact, a thigh lift is a whole complex of procedures that includes the removal of excess fat and skin, as well as, if necessary, tightening of the thigh muscles. Very often it is performed simultaneously with abdominal and buttock plastic surgery.
Stages of the operation:
- General anesthesia.
- Preparation of the surgical field (treatment with antiseptic solutions, etc.).
- Next, the surgeon makes an incision in the skin below the groin fold, the length of which may vary depending on the estimated amount of fat to be removed and may extend around the entire circumference of the thigh.
- Then, with careful movements, the doctor separates the skin from the subcutaneous tissue and cuts off the excess.
- After that, liposuction and muscle lifting are performed.
- At the end of the operation, the surgeon tightens the skin of the thighs and sutures the wound.
The entire thigh lift operation takes 3–6 hours. To avoid serious complications such as thrombophlebitis, necrosis in the surgical area, tissue detachment, accumulation of serous fluid in the thigh area, and wound suppuration, thigh plastic surgery should only be performed in reputable medical institutions, such as a plastic surgery center.
Indications for a thigh lift
- The presence of “saddlebags” on the thighs.
- Sagging skin in this area.
- The patient's desire to change the contours of the thighs.
Postoperative period
In the first few days after thigh lift surgery, the patient may experience quite intense pain, which can be relieved with painkillers. The stitches are removed after 2 weeks, on the 14th day.
The average hospital stay after plastic surgery is 1-2 days, after which the patient is discharged for outpatient treatment.
Light housework that does not require prolonged standing or lifting heavy objects can be performed after 3 weeks, but compression garments must be worn for at least 1-2.5 months.
Although thigh and buttock lift is a painful procedure with a fairly long recovery period, the end result is well worth the effort: slim, firm, and toned thighs with a clear contour.

FAQ
In such an area as plastic surgery, prices depend on a number of factors: the level of the clinic, equipment, operations, and most importantly, the qualifications of the surgeon. One thing is for sure - this is not a case where you need to save money. After all, you can get to an unprofessional surgeon and get at least ugly scars and stitches, and at most a low-quality operation, which will then have to be redone by a professional.

Why Ukrainians turn to plastic surgeons – a survey of Dmytro Slosser's audience
Last week, I conducted a brief survey among my followers on Instagram using the Stories feature. Each question received a different number of responses, but on average, approximately 400 respondents participated. The purpose of this survey was quite simple: to understand what motivates people to undergo cosmetic surgery today. The results confirmed my own observations.
