Thigh lift or thighplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure performed to improve the tone and contour of thighs. This surgery removes excess fat and sagging skin from the thighs, especially in individuals who have lost significant weight. You will be able to see the complete results of a thigh lift six months after the procedure. Besides aesthetics, a thigh lift also relieves pain and irritation that occurs when your thighs rub against each other.
Depending upon your goal, your plastic surgeon will recommend one of the two thigh lift procedures:

Here are a few things to keep in mind:
A thigh lift is a safe procedure. However, as with any surgical procedure, it carries a few potential risks. Some of these include:
Your incisions will heal in 6 to 8 weeks, and the swelling will reduce around the same time. After about six months, you will be able to appreciate the complete results of your thigh lift procedure.
A thigh lift is not very painful compared to other surgical procedures. It is performed under anaesthesia, and our surgeons use a combination of short—and long-acting anaesthetics during surgery to make the procedure comfortable and pain-free.
You can add walks to your recovery routine a week after the procedure. Avoid strenuous activities and exercises in the days right after the thigh lift surgery. Begin with short, frequent walks to allow your body to adapt to the new you.
You can start climbing stairs around two weeks after the procedure. In the first few days after the surgery, avoid any activity that will strain your legs and thighs or irritate the wound area.
