Thigh Reduction Surgery
Thigh Reduction Surgery
Thigh reduction surgery, also known as a thigh lift, is a body contouring procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the inner or outer thighs. It’s particularly effective after significant weight loss or ageing, when the skin has lost elasticity. The result is a smoother, firmer, and more contoured thigh appearance that better fits your natural proportions.
Who Is It For?
- You have loose, sagging, or dimpled skin on your thighs
- You’ve experienced significant weight loss or ageing-related skin changes
- You struggle with thigh chafing or discomfort during walking or exercise
- You are at or near your ideal body weight but cannot improve thigh shape with diet and exercise alone
The Procedure for Thigh Reduction Surgery
Thigh reduction surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and can focus on the inner thighs, outer thighs, or both, depending on your goals.
Consultation
Your surgeon will assess your thighs, skin quality, and body shape, and develop a personalised surgical plan.
Anaesthesia
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia for your safety and comfort.
Incision
Incisions are made along the inner thigh (groin crease) or vertically down the thigh, depending on the amount of skin to be removed.
Tissue and Fat Removal
Excess skin and fat are removed, and liposuction may be used to further contour the area.
Skin Tightening
The remaining skin is tightened to create a smoother, firmer shape.
Closing the Incisions
Sutures are placed carefully, and compression garments are applied to reduce swelling and support healing.
Recovery
Most patients return to light activity in 10–14 days. Swelling and bruising subside over the following weeks, with full recovery typically in 4–6 weeks.

Frequently asked questions
Will I have scars?
Yes, but incisions are placed discreetly along the groin crease or inner thigh where they are less visible. Scarring fades over time with proper care.
How long is recovery?
You can return to light activities after 1–2 weeks. Full recovery, including returning to exercise, usually takes 4–6 weeks.
Are the results permanent?
Yes, results are long-lasting if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Natural ageing will still affect skin over time.
Is the procedure painful?
Mild to moderate discomfort is expected, especially during the first few days, but it is well managed with pain medication.
Can this be combined with liposuction?
Yes, thigh reduction is often combined with liposuction to enhance contour and remove stubborn fat deposits.
Will this help with chafing or rubbing?
Yes, removing excess skin and fat can reduce friction between the thighs, improving comfort during movement and exercise.
