Body Contouring
Surgery
Thighplasty (Thigh Lift)
“Smoother, firmer thighs — designed to move beautifully.”
What is Thighplasty?
​
A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a body-contouring procedure that reshapes and firms the thighs by removing excess skin and fat to create a smoother, more sculpted silhouette. It’s ideal for individuals who have experienced weight loss, aging, or loss of skin elasticity and want to restore natural contour and confidence in their lower body.
​
During the procedure, discreet incisions are placed along the inner thighs or groin crease, depending on the area being treated. Through these incisions, the Dr. Saud:
-
Removes excess sagging skin and localized fat deposits.
-
Tightens the underlying tissues to lift and tone the thighs.
-
Smooths and refines the skin surface for a youthful, balanced look.
The result is firmer, slimmer thighs that complement the body’s proportions and enhance both comfort and appearance.
Good Candidates for Thighplasty
You may be a good candidate for a thigh lift if you:
-
loose or sagging thigh skin.
-
excess fat on inner or outer thighs.
-
thigh rubbing or discomfort.
-
skin laxity after weight loss.
-
stable body weight and good general health.
-
Don’t smoke or are willing to stop before and after surgery.
-
Have realistic expectations about the outcome and possible scarring.
Thighplasty vs Liposuction
​
-
Liposuction removes fat only.
-
Thighplasty removes loose skin and tightens thighs.
Patients with significant skin laxity benefit most from thigh lift surgery.
Types of Thigh Lift Procedures
​
The surgical approach depends on the area involved:
-
Inner thigh lift – most common, targets inner thighs
-
Outer thigh lift – improves outer thigh and hip area
-
Mini thigh lift – mild skin laxity near groin
-
Extended thigh lift – includes groin and lower abdomen
Procedure type is selected based on individual anatomy.
How Thighplasty Surgery is Performed
​
-
performed under general anesthesia.
-
incisions placed in groin crease or extended downward.
-
excess skin and fat removed.
-
liposuction may be combined.
-
surgery duration: 2–4 hours.
-

Incisions are placed to remain as discreet as possible.
Recovery After Thighplasty

mild discomfort.
Recovery timeline:
-

Complications
​

Scarring: Usually placed discreetly along the inner thigh or groin; it may take several months to fade.
-
Seroma: Accumulation of fluid under the skin, occasionally requiring drainage.
-
Infection or delayed wound healing: Minimized with antibiotics and proper aftercare.
