Thigh Lift Surgery (Thighplasty) In Ireland

Thigh lift surgery, also known as thighplasty, is a body contouring procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the thighs. It is most commonly performed on the inner thighs but can also target the outer thighs, depending on the concern. The goal is to create smoother, firmer, and more proportionate thighs when loose skin does not improve with weight loss or exercise. It is especially popular after significant weight loss or age-related skin laxity.

All consultations are private one-on-one sessions with your Auralia surgeon that normally last 15-20 minutes. During your consultation, the Auralia surgeon provides a clear understanding of the procedure, as well as an accurate picture of how your thighs will look after the surgery. They will clearly discuss any potential risks of the procedure and answer any questions you might have.

Thigh lift surgery involves making carefully placed incisions to remove excess skin and reshape the underlying tissue. The exact technique depends on the type of thigh lift required and the amount of skin laxity present. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes two to three hours. In some cases, liposuction is combined to further refine the contour before the skin is tightened.

As with any surgical procedure, thigh lift surgery carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, delayed wound healing, and scarring. Other possible complications include fluid build-up, asymmetry, numbness, or changes in skin sensation. Choosing an experienced surgical team and following aftercare instructions carefully significantly reduces these risks. 

There are several types of thigh lift procedures, including inner thigh lift, outer thigh lift, mini thigh lift, and extended thigh lift. An inner thigh lift focuses on loose skin along the inner thighs, while an outer thigh lift targets the outer thigh and hip area. A mini thigh lift is suitable for mild skin laxity, whereas an extended thigh lift addresses more significant excess skin, often after major weight loss. 

Discomfort is expected after thigh lift surgery, but it is usually well controlled with prescribed pain medication. Most patients describe the sensation as tightness and soreness rather than severe pain. The first few days are typically the most uncomfortable, with gradual improvement as swelling subsides. Your surgical team will provide a pain management plan to keep you comfortable during recovery.

Thigh lift results are long-lasting and, for most patients, considered permanent. Once excess skin is removed, it does not return. However, natural ageing, significant weight fluctuations, and lifestyle factors can affect the appearance of the thighs over time. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle helps preserve results for many years.

Most patients can return to desk-based or light work within 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the extent of the surgery and how their body heals. Jobs that involve prolonged standing, walking, or physical activity may require additional time off. Your surgeon will give personalised guidance based on your procedure and recovery progress.

Yes, a thigh lift is often combined with liposuction to improve overall contour. Liposuction can remove excess fat while the thigh lift addresses loose skin, resulting in smoother and more balanced thighs. This combination is commonly used when both skin laxity and fat deposits are present and can be planned safely during your consultation.
