Thigh Lift Surgery
Thigh lift is frequently the procedure patients wish they had done sooner — the relief from chafing and skin-fold rashes alone makes it transformative, before even considering the aesthetic improvement.
Smoother thighs. No more chafing. Legs you will want to show.
The inner thighs are one of the most difficult areas to tone through exercise — and one of the most affected by ageing, weight loss, and genetics. Loose, sagging inner thigh skin not only causes self-consciousness but also creates painful friction rashes when walking. A thigh lift surgically removes this excess skin and tightens the underlying tissue, producing smooth, contoured, and comfortable legs.

Types of Thigh Lift
Medial Thigh Lift (Inner Thigh Lift) The most common type. Addresses excess skin on the inner thighs. The scar is placed in the groin crease — hidden by underwear and swimwear. Ideal for patients with moderate inner-thigh skin laxity.
Vertical Thigh Lift For more significant skin excess, a vertical scar extends from the groin crease down the inner thigh. More correction, more scarring — but a significantly improved contour. Commonly needed after massive weight loss.
Outer Thigh Lift Addresses sagging of the outer thigh and buttocks. Scar is placed at the hip, within the bikini line. Often performed as part of a lower body lift for comprehensive lower-body contouring.
Combination Inner + Outer Thigh Lift For patients with skin excess around the entire thigh circumference — the most complete thigh reshaping option.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly will the scars be? For medial thigh lift, the scar is in the groin crease — completely hidden by underwear or a swimsuit. For vertical thigh lifts, there is an additional scar running down the inner thigh, which fades significantly but remains visible without clothing.
Dr. Bhavya Sree discusses scar placement in detail at consultation. Can thigh lift be combined with liposuction? Yes — and this is the most common combination. Liposuction removes excess fat to refine the contour, while the lift removes excess skin. Together, they produce a far superior result than either procedure alone.
Will the scar migrate downward over time? One known risk of inner thigh lift is scar migration — the groin scar can gradually descend toward the inner thigh due to gravity. Dr. Bhavya Sree uses deep suturing techniques specifically to anchor the scar and minimise this risk.
