What is a Leg Lift?
Legs are one of the most noticeable parts of the human body. Some men see legs as tantalising and women can feel empowered by them. Many men and women alike admire their legs. Especially in the mirror. However, there are some who feel uncomfortable with their legs due to having excess skin, stubborn fat and stretch marks.
​
Loose skin can have several adverse effects on your self-confidence, as well as the overall aesthetics of your body, The skin on our legs naturally loosens and sags over time as a result of little elasticity which is caused by a variety of things like reduced fat and muscle tissue, ageing, gravity and more.
What is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift (leg lift) is a surgical procedure that is implemented to combat against excess fat from the inner and outer thigh areas. Typically, this surgery is carried out after a substantial weight loss to contour and shape the leg to a desirable look. As well as this it can be used to remove any stubborn excess fatty tissue that cannot be removed through dieting or by exercising.

How is leg lift surgery decided?
This procedure is ideal for those with excess fat and sagging skin in various areas of the leg caused by ageing and weight fluctuations. If localised fat deposits are present, this surgery can be performed in conjunction with liposuction.
How long does the surgery take?
This surgery is performed under general anaesthetic by our medical professionals and takes approximately two hours to complete. Patients are usually discharged the day after surgery. The rubber drains inserted during treatment are removed before your discharge.
Can the other parts of the leg be lifted?
For the best results, we recommend not showering for at least two days after your surgery. Compression stockings should be worn for a week, along with a special corset to help prevent swelling and bruising. During the initial recovery period, the feet should be elevated over the heart while sitting or sleeping. No physical exercise should be done for at least four weeks after the procedure.
Can the other parts of the leg be lifted?
In cases where significant weight loss has caused extensive sagging all over the leg, the hip and back should also be lifted to ensure consistent, natural results. Any incisions made during the abdominoplasty will be extended to the sides and back of the hips to tighten these areas. This will help tighten the skin in the inner and outer leg.
Is there any downtime following this procedure?
We may require an overnight stay for observation. However, you will be able to leave the hospital the following day. You will be able to shower after two to three days, and will be cleared to return to your usual routine between seven and ten days after surgery.
