Thigh & Buttock Lift
Thigh and buttock lift surgery is a body contouring procedure designed to correct skin laxity in two of the most challenging areas of the body: the inner thighs and the lower buttock region. It is both a reconstructive and aesthetic procedure, offering significant improvement in body contour, symmetry, and daily comfort.
When is a thigh & buttock lift indicated?
This procedure is suitable for individuals who experience:
• Inner thigh laxity, often associated with friction and asymmetry
• Sagging or flattened buttocks
• Excess skin following weight loss or age-related skin laxity
• Discomfort with clothing or exercise due to hanging tissue
It is often combined with liposuction (e.g. VASER®) and may be part of a body lift or post–massive weight loss reconstruction.
Surgical technique & anesthesia
• Performed under general anesthesia
• Procedure duration: 2–3 hours
• Excess skin and fat are removed, and tissues are lifted and stabilized
Incision placement is carefully planned:
Thigh lift:
• In the groin crease for limited (mini) thigh lift, or
• Along the inner thigh for more extensive cases
Buttock lift:
• Along the upper buttock crease or sacral area, concealed by underwear or swimwear
When excess fat is present, VASER® or SmartLipo® liposuction is used to enhance contouring and improve skin tightening.
Combination procedures
Thigh and buttock lift surgery can be combined with:
• Abdominoplasty or brachioplasty
• Fat transfer to the buttocks for a natural lift (BBL)
• A combined thigh lift and buttock lift as part of a lower body lift
Recovery & healing
• Return home: same day or next day
• Rest period: 5–7 days
• Compression garments: 4–6 weeks
• Light walking: from day one
• Exercise: after 4–6 weeks
• Final results: gradually visible within 2–3 months
Postoperative discomfort is usually mild to moderate and improves steadily each day.
Benefits of thigh & buttock lift surgery
• Firmness and symmetry in areas resistant to exercise
• Smooth, lifted appearance of thighs and buttocks
• Greater comfort in clothing and daily movement
• Improved body confidence and self-image
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
