What is Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift is a cosmetic surgery that helps obtain tighter, firmer, and more attractive thighs. The surgery reduces excess fat and skin from the thighs and makes them proportionate with the lower part of the body.
Thighplasty is performed only by trained surgeons like Prof Dr Robert Hierner. He believes that the surgery is quite helpful in those patients who have a large amount of loose and hanging skin around the thighs. Thigh lift in Dubai is performed on the inner thigh, outer thigh, and bilateral thigh.

The procedure of Thigh lift in Dubai
Thigh lift surgery is an outpatient procedure whose duration depends on factors such as the technique used and the required improvement. The surgery is performed as follows:
First, the thighs are cleaned thoroughly, and anaesthesia is given to patients.
Then, according to the technique selected by the surgeon, incisions are made on the required site. For instance,
In the case of an inner thigh lift, a longitudinal incision is made along the inner thigh.
In outer thigh surgery, an incision is made in the groin area extending to the hip.
In a mini thigh lift, a smaller incision is made in the groin area.
After making the incisions, alterations such as removing fat tissue, removing excess skin, and reshaping and tightening soft tissues are done.
The last step involves the closing of incisions with stitches. Patients are given a compression garment to wear on their thighs for a few weeks to minimise swelling. They need to keep their thighs either in a standing or reclining position. Patients are suggested two weeks of bed rest and are expected to resume their normal activities within 4-6 months.
