Overview
What is Thigh Lift?
Fluctuations and loosening in the skin are among the situations that women feel the most discomfort. Again, the irregularities in the skin cause the formation of a saggy skin structure. However, as a result of not exercising and losing weight, a loosening occurs especially in the inner thighs. This is also a problem arising from old age. The procedure performed to eliminate these problems is called thigh lift.
Basically, inner thigh problems are not just an aesthetic problem. Because, after the loosening of the inner thighs, it is possible to experience discomfort due to friction while walking. Improving the loosening in the inner thigh area, which occurs due to the thin skin structure, brings with it a difficult process. It is known that many different methods and techniques can be applied at this point to solve the problem in question.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift
Thigh lift surgery is designed for individuals who have lost significant weight or are experiencing skin laxity due to aging, and are left with loose, sagging skin on their thighs that no amount of exercise can fix. This procedure is ideal for those who have maintained a stable weight and want to eliminate excess skin while improving comfort and confidence in their appearance.

Procedure
The Thigh Lift Procedure
Pre-Operative Consultation
Your journey begins with a consultation with Dr. Çağdaş Orman, who will assess the extent of skin excess, evaluate your thigh anatomy, and discuss your goals. He’ll determine which thigh lift technique is best for you and explain incision placement, expected results, and recovery timeline.
The Surgery Day
Thigh lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes 2-4 hours depending on the technique and treatment area. Incisions are strategically placed in the groin crease or along the inner thigh to minimize visible scarring. Dr. Orman removes excess skin and fat, tightens underlying tissues, and repositions remaining skin for smooth, natural contours. You’ll remain under 24-hour medical supervision before transferring to your hotel.
Recovery Process
You’ll wear compression garments for 4-6 weeks and should avoid strenuous activity during this time. Most patients return to light activities within 2 weeks and resume normal exercise after 6 weeks. Swelling decreases gradually over 2-3 months. Final results are visible after 3-6 months once swelling resolves and scars fade to thin, barely visible lines.
