Back to toned legs

Thigh lift

As we age or after significant weight loss, the skin on the thighs can lose elasticity and the tissue may sag, sometimes leading to the formation of hanging skin folds. This condition can be particularly distressing for young women as well as patients after massive weight loss. The problem cannot be corrected through exercise or targeted nutrition, as the sagging skin no longer naturally returns to its original state. A thigh lift can reshape the skin and remove excess tissue, helping you regain a smooth, toned appearance and feel more comfortable in your body.

What is meant by treatment?

Thigh lift at LIVION in Hamburg

A thigh lift is a surgical procedure that aims to remove sagging skin and tissue from the thighs to achieve slim and firm legs. There are various techniques for performing a thigh lift, depending on the individual findings. The course of the scar depends on the amount of excess skin. The lift is usually combined with liposuction. Our doctors will decide which technique to use after a thorough preliminary examination. Our goal is to provide you with optimal care throughout the entire process, from the initial consultation to follow-up care, and to achieve a result that perfectly suits your body proportions.

How does a thigh lift work?

If necessary, liposuction is possible

For a thigh lift with incision, our surgeons decide on the appropriate surgical technique based on a detailed consultation. Before the procedure, the incision lines are drawn, and the course of the future scar is carefully planned. Excess fat and skin are removed and subsequently secured using a specialized suturing technique.

Depending on the patient’s individual situation, liposuction can be performed in addition to the thigh lift to minimize remaining fat deposits and achieve a harmonious overall result. A blunt cannula is inserted into the fat tissue and gently removed using a vibrating technique (PAL – Power Assisted Liposuction).

If necessary, drains are placed in the surgical area to allow wound fluid to drain and are usually removed after 24 hours. The thigh lift is performed under general anesthesia and typically lasts between two and four hours, depending on the individual case. After the procedure, patients usually stay in the clinic for two nights.

What you need to consider after the procedure

Aftercare for a thigh lift

Our clinic team will support you not only before and during your surgery but also afterward. Prescriptions for necessary medications and detailed post-operative care instructions are provided in advance in your personal treatment folder. Immediately after the procedure, compression garments are applied to support wound healing and should be worn for six to eight weeks. These garments help the skin retract, reduce swelling, and promote a smooth contour. Any bruising typically subsides within a few weeks. We also recommend lymphatic drainage for the first twelve weeks following surgery. Proper scar care in the subsequent weeks and attending all follow-up appointments are essential. Patients should refrain from strenuous physical activity for approximately six weeks.

The most frequently asked questions about thigh lifts

A thigh lift may be recommended when the skin on the inner thighs is significantly sagging—due to natural aging processes or after substantial weight loss. In many cases, the excess skin cannot be improved through exercise or diet alone. The procedure helps tighten the skin and restore a harmonious thigh contour, allowing patients to feel more comfortable in their bodies.

During a thigh lift, excess skin and, if necessary, fat tissue are surgically removed. Different incision techniques may be used depending on the individual case. The procedure is often combined with liposuction to achieve an especially smooth and even result.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes two to four hours, depending on the extent of skin laxity. After surgery, you will stay in the clinic for two nights, where our team provides full care. The scar is placed as discreetly as possible, and drains may be inserted if needed to remove wound fluid.

After the procedure, a special compression garment should be worn for six to eight weeks to support healing and reduce swelling. Physical rest is important: avoid sports and strenuous activities for about six weeks. Lymphatic drainage and regular follow-up appointments further promote the healing process.

The goal of a thigh lift is firmer, smoother skin and a harmonious body contour. Many patients report a renewed body confidence and enhanced self-esteem. The scar fades over time and becomes increasingly discreet with consistent scar care.
