What Is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift (thighplasty) is a surgical procedure that targets the correction of loose skin and excess fat tissue, particularly in the inner thigh region. The result is firmer, more shapely and proportionate-looking legs.

Op. Dr. Emre Yılmazer evaluates skin structure, the degree of sagging and the need for Liposuction together for each patient; he plans an individualized scar pattern and technique selection.

Patient Profile

Who Is It Suitable For?

Thigh Lift is a personalized procedure. A consultation can be planned in the following situations.

  • Those experiencing inner thigh skin sagging following significant weight loss
  • Individuals troubled by tissue laxity due to aging
  • Those whose contour issues remain unresolved despite diet and exercise
  • Adults in suitable general health with smoking under control
  • Patients with realistic expectations who are well informed about scarring
  • Individuals able to adapt to the recovery process and open to follow-up planning

Important note: Each patient comes with a different anatomy, skin structure and expectation. The procedure to be performed, the technique to be applied and the results are only finalized after a face-to-face medical evaluation.

Weeks 2 – 3
Return to Social Life
A gradual return to office routine begins; the compression garment and gentle walking continue.
Weeks 4 – 6
Gradual Return to Sports
Use of the compression garment ends; transition to light sports activities begins.
