Thigh Lift Surgery
Thigh Lift Surgery in Mumbai
A thigh lift, also known as thighplasty, is a surgical operation that removes excess skin and fat from the thighs to reshape and contour them. It is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or who struggle with sagging skin in the thigh area due to ageing. This procedure improves the overall appearance and firmness of the thighs, enhancing mobility and confidence.
What is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift is a body sculpting operation that tightens the skin and enhances the ratios of the thighs. It can target the inner thighs, outer thighs, or both, depending on the individual’s goals and anatomical needs. The procedure not only enhances aesthetics but also addresses discomfort caused by chafing or skin irritation.

When can I resume normal activities?
The majority of people can return to work in 1-2 weeks and resume more strenuous activities after 4-6 weeks.
Will the results last?
Yes, with proper weight maintenance, the results of a thigh lift are long-lasting.
Are there non-surgical alternatives?
Non-surgical options may provide temporary improvement in skin tone but cannot achieve the dramatic results of a thigh lift.
