Patient-Friendly Explanation

A thigh lift removes excess skin and fat from the thighs, tightening the area after substantial weight loss. It can be done on the inner thigh, outer thigh, or both, and always leaves some scarring.

Clinical Definition

Thighplasty (thigh lift) excises redundant skin and fat of the medial and/or lateral thigh to improve contour and reduce skin-fold complications. The medial approach places the scar in the groin crease, extended toward the knee when laxity is severe, and is frequently combined with liposuction.

Why It Matters

Thigh skin redundancy after weight loss can cause intertrigo, rashes, and discomfort. NuLifeCare Singapore helps patients understand when post-bariatric skin surgery is appropriate and coordinates appropriate referrals.
