Thigh Lift (Thighplasty) in Abu Dhabi | Elyzee Hospital

A Thigh Lift, medically known as Thighplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to reshape and contour the thighs. By removing excess skin and stubborn fat, this procedure delivers smoother, tighter, and more proportionate thighs — especially for individuals affected by aging, weight loss, or skin laxity.

At Elyzee Hospital in Abu Dhabi, our expert plastic surgeons use advanced cosmetic surgical techniques to sculpt and refine the thighs with natural-looking results.

The Benefits of Thigh Lift (Thighplasty)

  • Smoother and tighter thigh contours: Removes sagging skin and improves firmness.
  • Improved lower-body proportions: Enhances confidence with a more balanced silhouette.
  • Addresses discomfort from excess skin: Reduces chafing, irritation, and difficulty with clothing.
  • Can be combined with other procedures: Often done with liposuction or lower body lift for maximum shaping.

The Best Candidate for Thigh Lift (Thighplasty)

The ideal candidate:

  • Has sagging or loose thigh skin due to weight loss, aging, or genetics.
  • Is at a stable and healthy weight.
  • Is a non-smoker or willing to stop before surgery.
  • Has realistic expectations and is in good overall health.

Consultation and Preparation

During your consultation at Elyzee Hospital, the surgeon evaluates medical history, skin condition, and body shape to determine if Thighplasty is suitable. You may be advised to:

  • Stop smoking to support proper healing.
  • Avoid medications that increase bleeding (blood thinners, aspirin, etc.).
  • Complete routine medical checks or lab tests.
  • Arrange support at home during the initial recovery period.

What Happens During the Thigh Lift Procedure

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia:

  1. Incision placement: Made discreetly along the groin crease or inner thigh to remain hidden.
  2. Excess skin and fat removal: Liposuction may be used to shape and contour the thighs.
  3. Tissue tightening: Underlying tissues are tightened for firmer thigh definition.
  4. Incision closure: Sutures are placed; drains may be used to prevent fluid buildup.

Surgeons ensure incisions are placed strategically to minimize visible scarring.

After the Procedure and Recovery

  • Expect swelling, mild discomfort, and limited mobility in the first weeks.
  • Compression garments support healing and reduce swelling.
  • Light walking helps circulation, but strenuous activity should be avoided.
  • Most patients return to routine activities within a few weeks; full recovery may take several months.

Final Result

Once swelling subsides, patients can expect:

  • A more sculpted thigh contour
  • Smoother skin and improved firmness
  • Enhanced body proportions and confidence

The results are long-lasting when paired with a healthy lifestyle.
