Thigh Lift Surgery

A Thigh Lift (thighplasty) is a body contouring procedure designed to remove excess skin and stubborn fat from the inner or outer thighs. It creates a smoother, firmer, and more youthful leg profile—especially for individuals who’ve lost a significant amount of weight or are experiencing skin laxity due to ageing. At London Harley Street Clinics, we tailor each thigh lift to your body goals, ensuring natural, balanced results.

Who is Thigh Lift For?

A Thigh Lift may be suitable for you if you: Have loose or sagging skin on your thighs, Feel self-conscious in fitted clothing or swimwear, Struggle with thigh chafing or discomfort due to excess tissue, Are at or near your goal weight, but can’t improve thigh shape with exercise alone.

Types of Thigh Lifts Offered

We offer several options depending on the area of concern:

  • Inner Thigh Lift: Removes excess skin and fat from the inner thigh.
  • Outer Thigh Lift: Targets the outer thigh and hip area for improved contour.
  • Vertical Thigh Lift: Ideal for more significant sagging along the entire length of the thigh.
  • Mini Thigh Lift: For mild laxity, with smaller incisions and quicker recovery.

Your surgeon will recommend the most appropriate technique based on your needs.

Treatment Process

Thigh Lift surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes 2–3 hours. It involves:

Along the groin crease or vertically depending on the lift type.

Excess skin and fat are removed; the remaining tissue is reshaped and tightened.

The area is sutured carefully to reduce scarring and support healing.
