What a thigh lift is for

A thigh lift with liposuction removes stubborn fat and tightens loose skin along the thighs in one session. Liposuction takes away the fat, and the thigh lift removes the sagging skin. The benefits include firmer, smoother thighs, improved mobility, reduced skin friction, a more defined bikini line and boosted body confidence. These are the reasons people usually come to us.

Excess or sagging skin on the inner or outer thighs
Loose skin left behind after significant weight loss
Stubborn fat that has not shifted with diet or exercise
Skin rubbing and friction between the thighs
Fat deposits or lipoedema in the thighs

You need to be in good overall health. Before surgery, Dr Ouali may ask for a full medical clearance to make sure the procedure is safe and appropriate for you. If you are not a suitable candidate, we will tell you straight.

Good to know

There will be scars. They are placed in less noticeable areas where possible, and usually fade significantly over time.
You may need medical clearance first. A pre-surgical medical assessment may be needed to confirm you are suitable.
Downtime is typically 1 to 2 weeks. Most people are back at work after 7 to 10 days and resume light activities after a week, with normal routines, including exercise, after four to six weeks.
It will not stop you ageing. Results are long lasting at a stable weight, but ageing and future weight changes can affect them.

Cost

One price, agreed before you book

The package price for thigh lift surgery starts from £4,950, which includes the initial consultation, surgery and follow-up after surgery. The price you are quoted at consultation is the price you pay.

What happens

Four steps, and you can stop at any of them

It starts with a free video call with the surgeon, not a form-filling appointment with a consultant who does not operate.

1

Free video consultation

A video call with Dr Ouali. He looks at your thighs, explains what he would do and what he would not, covers the risks, and gives you your price. He may ask for medical clearance first.

No charge, no obligation
2

Decide in your own time

Nothing is booked on the call. If you go ahead, a 50% deposit holds your date, or you can pay in full. Face-to-face beforehand can be arranged, and is charged separately.

Entirely your call
3

The procedure

One to three hours. The area is numbed, a small incision lets in the Vaser probe to break down and remove the fat, and excess skin is trimmed if needed.

Day case
4

Recovery and follow-up

Rest for the first few days, light activities from the end of week one, heavier activity slowly from weeks two to six. Follow-up appointments monitor your healing.

Over the following weeks

The part most adverts leave out

This is still surgery

However minor a procedure is, there is a potential for complications. Dr Ouali will go through all of this with you before you decide anything.

Expect some swelling, bruising and discomfort in the first days. The recognised risks are:

Swelling and bruising
Infection
Scarring
Bleeding or haematoma
Seroma
Asymmetry
Skin irregularities
Numbness or changes in sensation
Poor wound healing
Fat embolism
Deep vein thrombosis
Skin discolouration
Allergic reaction
Nerve or vessel injury

Before you book anywhere

Whoever you choose, these are worth asking:

Who will actually perform my surgery, and can I meet them first?
What is their GMC number?
How many of these have they done?
What is included in the price, and what is not?
What happens, and what does it cost, if something needs correcting?
Is the clinic registered with the Care Quality Commission?

Questions

What people ask before they book

Is the video consultation really free?

Yes. The video consultation is with Dr Ouali himself, it is free, and there is no obligation. If you would rather be seen in person before you decide, a face-to-face appointment can be arranged, and that one is charged separately.

Am I a good candidate for a thigh lift with liposuction?

You may be, if you have excess skin, stubborn fat or sagging on your inner or outer thighs, especially after significant weight loss, and you are in good overall health.

What is the difference between a thigh lift and liposuction?

Liposuction removes excess fat. A thigh lift removes loose or sagging skin. Done together, they contour and tighten the thighs.

Is it painful?

Discomfort is usually minimal. The procedure is done under local anaesthetic with sedation, so the area is numbed and the experience is virtually pain-free. Any pain during recovery is managed with prescribed medication.

How long is the recovery?

It varies, but most people resume light activities after a week and return to normal routines, including exercise, after four to six weeks. Expect seven to ten days off work.

Will there be visible scars?

There will be scars where the incisions are made. They are often placed in less noticeable areas and usually fade significantly over time.

How long do the results last?

Results are long lasting, especially with a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. Ageing and future weight changes can affect how your thighs look over time.

How do I pay if I go ahead?

You pay a 50% deposit to hold your date, or the full amount if you would rather settle it in one go. There is no in-house finance.
