Reduce sagging inner thigh skin and improve leg contour — especially after major weight loss when elasticity is reduced.
Thigh lift surgery removes excess skin and fat from the inner thigh. Incision patterns vary from groin crease lifts to vertical scars along the inner thigh when substantial skin redundancy exists — particularly after bariatric change.
Dr. Manandhar explains trade-offs between scar length and contour improvement so you can make an informed choice.
Patients bothered by chafing, rubbing, or loose hanging inner thigh skin may benefit. Best results require commitment to scars and a stable weight.
Smoking cessation and lymphatic risk discussion are important parts of preparation.
Smoother inner thigh contour when skin laxity is significant

Customised incision strategy based on skin excess pattern
Postoperative garment and scar management planning
Vector & scar planning
Markings based on skin laxity pattern and your scar tolerance.
Tissue resection
Safe removal of redundant skin and fat with contour checks.
Layered closure
Support of deep tissue to reduce tension on skin edges.
Recovery & mobilisation
Leg positioning, garment use, and gradual return to activity.
Leg swelling is common; elevate when resting and avoid prolonged dependent standing early on.
Keep incisions dry until advised, and report spreading redness, fever, or calf pain promptly. Scar massage and silicone therapy may be introduced at the appropriate healing stage.
Next step
Arrange a confidential consultation to review options, alternatives, and a personalised plan with Dr. Manandhar.
