Remove stubborn fat deposits to achieve slimmer, more proportionate thighs.
Thigh Liposuction
Thigh liposuction, or thigh lipo, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat from the thighs, creating a slimmer and more contoured appearance. This procedure targets stubborn fat deposits in the inner and outer thighs, which can be resistant to diet and exercise. Thigh liposuction helps to enhance the natural shape of the legs, creating a more balanced and proportionate silhouette.
What Thigh Liposuction Can Achieve
- Reduces stubborn fat in the thighs.
- Improves leg contour and definition.
- Boosts confidence in shorts, skirts, and swimsuits.
- Minimally invasive with small incisions and fast recovery.
Who is a Good Candidate?
- Individuals with excess thigh fat despite a healthy lifestyle.
- Those with good skin elasticity (to prevent sagging after fat removal).
- Not ideal for those with loose or sagging skin (they may need a thigh lift instead).
Recovery Timeline
- Swelling and discomfort for the first 1-2 weeks.
- Most patients return to light activities within a few days.
- Compression garments must be worn for 4-6 weeks to reduce swelling.
- Final results appear in 3-6 months as the skin tightens over the new contour.
Procedure Overview
- Performed under general anesthesia.
- Small incisions are made near the groin or knee.
- A thin cannula is inserted to suction out excess fat.
- The procedure takes about 1-2 hours.
- Incisions are closed with sutures, and a compression garment is worn.
Three key benefits of Thigh Lift
Smoother, tighter contours
Removes lax skin and refines the inner/outer thighs for a firmer silhouette and less chafing.
Targeted sculpting
Can be tailored (medial/inner, extended to knee, or lateral lift) and often combined with liposuction for more definition.
Comfort and confidence
Clothes fit better, movement feels easier, and skin irritation between the thighs is reduced.

FAQ'S
Who is a good candidate?
People with significant thigh skin laxity after weight loss or aging, at a stable weight, in good health, and non-smokers (or willing to stop as directed) are typically good candidates.
Where are the incisions and scars placed?
Common placements include the groin crease (medial/inner lift), a vertical line along the inner thigh to the knee for extended lifts, or along the outer thigh/hip for lateral lifts. Your surgeon will recommend the pattern that best hides scars while meeting your goals.
What does recovery involve?
Most patients walk the same day, return to desk work in 7–14 days, wear a compression garment for 4–6 weeks, and gradually resume exercise around 4–6 weeks (as cleared). Swelling and firmness continue to settle over 2–3 months.
Will it fix cellulite or stretch marks?
A thigh lift tightens skin and improves contour, which may soften the look of some dimples or stretch marks, but it isn’t a cellulite treatment. Stretch marks within the removed skin can improve; those outside remain.
How long do results last?
Results are long-lasting with weight stability and healthy habits. Normal aging continues, but good skin care, steady weight, and sun protection help maintain your outcome.
