Thigh lift, also known as thigh reduction, is a highly effective procedure that tightens loose skin on the thighs and can be carried out for several reasons. Many people may find they are genetically predisposed to developing saggy skin on the thighs, which can be a significant cause for concern. People who have lost considerable amounts of weight often develop loose skin in many parts of the body, and the thighs are a common area where excess skin develops after weight loss.

The natural ageing process affects us all and results in a loss of collagen and elastin over time. This causes the skin to lose its inherent firmness and often results in skin that looks saggy and, at times, flabby. Whatever the underlying cause of excess sagging skin, a surgical thigh lift is a highly effective procedure for reducing the appearance of the thighs to achieve firmer, smoother, and tighter-looking thighs. Many people will take certain factors into account when planning a surgical thigh reduction procedure, and the issue of thigh lift cost in the UK becomes a significant consideration. Many patients often enquire about getting rid of thigh fat when contacting Centre for Surgery in London.
The prospect of achieving tighter-looking thighs means many patients will be pleased to rid themselves of sagging skin, and this is where our patient coordinators often seek out thigh fat removal surgery costs. The impact of having sagging skin usually results in avoiding certain clothing styles, such as short skirts, shorts or beachwear. For many, the impact on self-confidence can be enormous, leading them to conceal their size even in hot weather.
The potentially life-changing results achievable through thigh lift surgery mean patients can have the freedom to express their sense of style with an unrestricted choice of clothing, accompanied by a significant improvement in emotional well-being. An improvement in the appearance of the thighs can make a substantial difference in how people feel about themselves.

It is not uncommon to see many clinics, particularly overseas in Turkey, promote lower thigh lift costs in the UK. However, it is essential to consider the level of care you will receive. For such cheap prices advertised elsewhere, certain aspects of your care will inevitably be compromised. The surgeon may not have the skills to perform the thigh reduction surgery to a high standard, or the clinic may lack specialist accreditations.
With such potential for a poor standard of care, many patients may need corrective surgery performed elsewhere to address the substandard results. Common examples of botched surgery after a thigh lift include legs that lack symmetry or an excessive degree of scarring. In some cases, there has been such an extensive loss of skin that reconstructive surgery will be required to perform skin grafting or skin flaps to restore an acceptable appearance to the thighs.
Thigh fat removal surgery cost in London
Thigh fat removal surgery costs are commonly inquired about by many patients when deciding on their choice of cosmetic surgeon and clinic. Whilst the thigh lift cost is essential to consider, we recommend it should not be the only factor on which you base your decision. You should also consider the surgeon’s qualifications and experience, as well as the clinic’s profile. London thigh lift prices tend to be slightly higher than those in the rest of the UK, due to the higher cost of living in the capital. The emotional strain from living with fat thighs that have a severe amount of skin sagging is often enough for patients to take that first step to explore the full range of surgical options to achieve slimmer-looking thighs. Patients usually tell us that the boost in self-confidence achieved through thigh lift surgery often leads them to wonder why they didn’t have the surgery earlier.
Although the price of thigh lift surgery may seem expensive, it is essential to consider the comprehensive scope of the procedure. This includes your preoperative and postoperative care. The thigh lift procedure takes approximately 2 to 3 hours and involves a general anaesthetic for your comfort and safety. The incision for a thigh lift is made in the groin and extends down the inner thigh in a boomerang shape, often as far as the knee. Any excess skin is surgically removed before the wound is carefully closed, resulting in the least possible amount of scarring. Your surgeon will also position the incisions on the inside of the leg, making them less visible to others. We are renowned for our proactive post-operative nursing care support, and our specialist nurses are available 24/7 to answer any questions or concerns. You will be reviewed regularly over the two weeks following your procedure for wound checks and will be available to see you at any time if you have concerns about your thigh lift healing. Once you are fully healed, approximately four weeks later, our nurses may suggest optimal scar management strategies to enhance the appearance of your thigh lift scars.
Why does an inner thigh lift surgery cost more compared with an outer thigh lift?
An inner thigh lift surgery generally costs more than an outer thigh lift due to the larger amount of excess skin removal needed in the inner thigh area. An outer thigh lift is commonly combined with buttock lift surgery, but it may also be performed on its own. When people refer to a thigh lift, they most commonly describe the loose inner thigh skin that would require an inner thigh lift. The incision for inner thigh lift surgery extends from the groin down the inside of the thigh as far as the knee. A mini thigh lift involves a small incision located in the groin region only to tighten the upper thigh skin. An outer thigh lift is designed to remove excess skin from the outer parts of the thighs.
Inner thigh lift surgery is often combined with liposuction, which can increase the overall cost of the procedure. Thigh liposuction is designed to remove excess thigh fat, targeting stubborn areas of fat that have proven resistant to diet and exercise.
How much is thigh liposuction?
Consulting an expert surgeon is ideal for determining your suitability for thigh lift surgery. If you are concerned about the appearance of fat thighs, your surgeon may recommend liposuction combined with a thigh lift to remove fat and tighten the skin, resulting in more toned and firmer-looking thighs. Thigh liposuction in the UK is an additional cost that must be factored in when planning your thigh lift procedure.
The cost of thigh liposuction starts at £3500 for one area of liposuction, such as the inner thighs. Our surgeons specialise in combining liposuction with a thigh lift to achieve slimmer-looking thighs. Targeting the removal of excess skin and fat means patients can look forward to better-shaped legs, which may result in a thigh gap. Combining liposuction with excess skin removal yields the most effective thigh lift results. If you would like to explore the potential benefits of thigh lift surgery, please contact one of our experienced patient coordinators to schedule a face-to-face consultation with an expert thigh lift surgeon in London.
