Sagging thigh skin is an issue many individuals face either due to aging, after massive weight loss post-bariatric surgery, or dieting and exercise. Poor thigh skin quality aggravates the problem further.
Thigh lift surgery in Bangalore at Aesthetics Plus can help eliminate excess skin and redefine the thighs for shapely contours. Discuss with our thigh plastic surgeons the procedure and thigh fat removal and lift cost in Bangalore.
A thigh lift or thighplasty is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the thighs to give a smoother and toned appearance. Aging causes changes to our bodies, and sagging of the thigh skin is one of the undesirable effects of this. Significant or sudden weight loss due to bariatric surgery, weight loss efforts, or liposuction also results in sagging and flabby skin at the thighs.
It affects the appearance of the upper legs and makes people conscious when wearing shorts, swimwear, or fitted clothes. Loose inner thigh skin and fat can lead to rashes and difficulty walking. Liposuction helps remove thigh fat when the skin elasticity is good. However, in case of large volume thigh fat removal, an excision and tightening of excess hanging skin are also needed. A thigh lift can be done for the inner thigh, outer thigh, or both depending on the patient’s requirement.
A thigh lift is often combined with other body contouring procedures like a body lift or liposuction. Results are evident immediately and last long when a person maintains an ideal body weight post-procedure.

Thigh lift Surgery in Bangalore at Aesthetics Plus is an effective surgery to shape the legs and lower body. A thigh lift is done under regional or general anesthesia. Our surgeons use different techniques and incisions depending on the required correction. The inner/medial thigh lift is the most common one. Other thigh lifts include the outer thigh lift, mini thigh lift, and vertical thigh lift.
An inner thigh lift uses an incision in the groin that extends to the back of the thigh or downwards to the knee. When we address only the upper part of the thigh, the incision is limited to the groin. When performing an outer thigh lift, the incision starts from the groin and goes to the hip and lower back. A vertical lift involves a larger incision to remove the skin all around the thigh.
The plastic surgeon will decide the most appropriate technique for you. Finally, the incisions are closed with sutures and surgical tape.
Postoperative care is essential in the recovery from a thigh lift. After surgery, the thighs are dressed with bandages and a compression garment. Drains may be inserted to help fluid drainage. Swelling and pain are more in the first 2-3 days, controlled with pain medications. Keep your mobility to the minimum but do move around to maintain the circulation.
Give your legs as much rest as possible to allow the incisions to heal. After a week, it is time to remove the dressings and stitches. Continue wearing the compression garment to control the swelling and support the thighs.
Limit activities for 2 to 3 weeks. Slowly the swelling and bruising subside, and you can start seeing the results of your procedure after a month. Light exercise is allowed but nothing too stressful. It can take 3 to 6 months for the swelling to subside completely and for you to see the results. The appearance of the thighs continues to improve as the scars heal and fade even up to one year.
Thigh lift surgery, like any other major surgery, has some risks. Some risks include bleeding, infection, delayed wound healing, reaction to anesthesia, fluid retention, and seroma formation.
Though every attempt is made to hide the incisions in the natural folds of the body or areas covered with clothing, scars can be visible in certain patients. Blood clot formation in the lower extremities is a risk with this surgery. Therefore, patients should maintain a certain degree of walking and mobility to prevent this. Recurrence of loose skin is possible due to aging or other factors and may need revision.
At Aesthetics Plus, our surgeons endeavor to minimize the risks as much as possible with careful evaluation, planning, and postop follow-up.
The degree of correction via a thigh lift surgery is highly personalized and varies from patient to patient. Therefore, many factors go into determining the thigh lift cost in Bangalore. The extent of loose skin, the area of the thighs to be addressed, technique, the surgeon’s experience and skill, anesthesia, consumables, clinic facilities, garment, and so on.
Therefore, our surgeons can determine the exact cost only after a thorough consultation and examination. Discuss with our plastic surgeons to know further about a thigh lift surgery cost in Bangalore at Aesthetics Plus.
Wonderful experience with Aesthetic plus. Dr. Surindhar is incredible, not only has explained me entire procedure but also ensured I had a smooth prep, surgery, and follow-up. It’s rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches and care for a patient as a person with outstanding quality of medical care. I am so glad I chose Aesthetic Plus and would highly recommend.
It was a great experience to get treated from Aesthetic Plus. The service, doctors, helpers and environment was quite friendly and comfortable. This treatment has changed my life into something better. I would recommend you all to give it a try and find yourself how they change your life too.... Thanks to Team Aesthetic Plus & DR. Surindher Sir
Visited Dr Surindher for a procedure which I was contemplating for a very long time. He made me extremely comfortable and explained everything in detail which made me gain confidence to go ahead with the procedure. The procedure went well with no pain at all.Post the procedure there was minor discomfort for 2-3 days and Dr Surindher was always available on call to help address any concern and to follow up with the progress.The post operative follow up was brilliant. Highly recommended Dr Surindher! Cheers and thank you !
I've known Dr. Surindhar for many years now, when he performed a surgery for removal of my axillary lymph nodes which was such an investment to my health and an addition to it's aesthetics was a bonus. I like his approachability n the precision of work, be it non or invasive jobs- big or small. I would highly recommend him for any of your cosmetic/ aesthetics related work.
Got a chemical peel from Dr.Surindher for my acne scars. My skin felt very smooth and brighter after the procedure. Had a really comfortable experience at the clinic and doctor was very patient in answering all my frequent follow up questions.
Nice place. Neat and clean. Courteous staff. Knowledgable doctor good hands didnt force me and my husband regarding procedures and gave us all the facts. I got a mummy makeover( tummy tuck + breast lift) and hubby got a hair transplant with the Aesthetics Plus team. Very happy with the result. Waiting for hubby's final result. Thank you DrSurindher and team. Keep it up
Hair transplant and gynaecomastia correction done. Had surgery before elsewhere but depression and scarring was there, which was corrected very well and no drains and actually no pain at all. then got FUE also done last year. Very happy. will recommend to all. thank you.
During the surgery, you are under the effect of anesthesia and feel no pain. In the first few days after surgery, you may feel pain and a tightening sensation in the thighs while standing or walking. We prescribe pain medication for pain relief for about a week.
A thigh lift does leave scars though scars are hidden in the groin and buttock crease. The size and location of the scars depend on the correction. Initially, they may appear raised and red but settle with time. Thigh scars can take even more than a year to heal. In some cases, the patient may need scar revision treatment.
The sustenance of the results of thigh lift surgery depends on many factors. One crucial factor in maintaining a stable weight. When you keep a steady weight, results from fat removal in the thighs will stay for a long time. The effects of thigh skin excision can last as long as 10 to 15 years. Again, excessive weight gain and fluctuations can lead to loose and sagging skin. The natural aging process also affects the thighs.
Surgeries commonly done with a thigh lift include an arm lift, tummy tuck, breast surgery, liposuction, breast implants, breast lifts, and so on. However, every procedure takes its own time, and it might not be advisable to do too many procedures simultaneously.
Discuss with the plastic surgeons at Aesthetics Plus, Bangalore, what procedures can be combined to meet your desired aesthetic goals.
Thigh lift requires you to have bed rest for at least a week. Walking, sitting, or standing puts strain on the thighs, so take rest to help recovery. Minimize mobility and take help for your activities. Avoid any strenuous activities like squatting or climbing activities. Wear your compression garment continuously for at least a month to support the sutures, control swelling, and shape the thighs. Don't drive for at least three weeks. Monitor your suture lines for any redness or extreme pain. Eat healthily and keep yourself hydrated. Don't soak the incisions in a bath but have showers.
Immediately after the surgery, your thighs look slimmer. However, your thighs will develop swelling and bruising and will be covered with a compression garment. Some patients have swelling for many months following surgery. So you have to stay patient to see the final contour, which can take 3 to 6 months or even a year. Once the swelling and bruising subside and the scars fade, you will be happy with your slimmer and toned thigh contours.
Both these procedures are popular for improving the shape of the thighs. Liposuction works well for younger individuals with good skin elasticity who have a fat collection in their thighs. The plastic surgeon makes small incisions through which a cannula is inserted, and the fat is sucked out. We also use this procedure to create a thigh gap between the upper inner thighs.
Older individuals, women with multiple pregnancies, or people who have undergone significant weight loss have varying degrees of loose thigh skin and will need a thigh lift surgery. A thigh lift can eliminate the excess skin and tighten the underlying tissues for a better thigh contour.
Which procedure is suitable depends on an individual's requirements. Often both these procedures are combined. Your plastic surgeon would be the best judge of what is appropriate for you.
Once you decide to go ahead with the surgery, stop smoking for at least a few weeks before the surgery. Have your tests and share the results with your surgeon. Arrange for a caregiver to pick you up after the surgery and stay with you as you will not be able to drive and will need help around the house.
Stop any blood-thinning medication like aspirin and other dietary supplements according to the surgeons' advice. Don't consume alcohol a few before surgery. Fully disclose any medical history, drugs, or health issues to the doctors so that they can plan your surgery appropriately.
Arrange for some time off from work so you can take adequate rest after the procedure.
At least 8 to 10 hours before the surgery, have your last meal. Come to the clinic without consuming any food or water on surgery day.
You will have drains inserted after a thigh lift to help drain the fluids and prevent the formation of a seroma. The drains stay in for some time to help with the healing process.
