Thigh Lift

A thigh lift that calls for
long-accumulated experience

A thigh lift is a demanding operation because the patient's position has to be changed during surgery. The experience and know-how of the medical team shape the surgical outcome.

Thigh Lift Surgery

Thigh Lift, why does surgical experience shape the result?

It is a demanding operation that requires changing the patient's position during surgery.

01
What kind of surgery is a thigh lift?

A thigh lift is surgery that excises stretched thigh skin and subcutaneous fat, then lifts and fixes the sagging tissue. It addresses sagging of the skin itself, which liposuction alone cannot resolve.
02
Why is a thigh lift considered a demanding operation?

Because the front, back and inner surfaces of the thigh all have to be addressed, the patient's position is changed during surgery. That is exactly why the experience and know-how of the medical team shape the result.
03
How far does the incision extend?

Depending on the extent of the sagging, the design is divided into stages, from Step 1 with an incision in the groin crease alone up to the Step 5 extended pattern, which continues the incision along the inner thigh.
04
How much experience does TheLINE have?

TheLINE is an SVF-focused plastic surgery clinic that has accumulated 80,000 body contouring cases over 19 years since 2007. Liposuction, fat grafting and body lift surgery are all planned in one place.

Recommendation Target

A thigh lift is recommended for these cases

Skin sagging is difficult to reverse with exercise or liposuction alone.

After dieting

Rapid weight loss

Cases where a large amount of weight was lost in a short period and the inner thigh skin sags severely.
Chafing

Inner thigh friction

Cases where inner thigh sagging is severe enough that the skin rubs together with every step and daily life becomes uncomfortable.
Thigh sagging

All-round sagging

Cases where not only the inner thigh but the thigh as a whole sags, so the contour looks collapsed.
After liposuction

Pigment · sagging

Cases where pigmentation, sagging or loss of elasticity is a concern as a side effect of thigh liposuction.

Advanced equipment used in thigh lift surgery - TheLINE Plastic Surgery

Use of advanced equipment

Radiofrequency hemostatic devices like the Harmonic Scalpel reduce bleeding and damage.

19 years and 80,000 cases of body contouring clinical experience - TheLINE Plastic Surgery

19 years of know-how

All thigh surfaces must be addressed, so 19 years and 80,000 cases since 2007 guide the plan.

Precise dissection

Sagging skin and fat are marked in advance, and only the needed layer is excised.

Tension Free suturing

The wound is closed layer by layer so tension stays off the skin, easing the scar.

SVF regeneration in thigh lift surgery - TheLINE Plastic Surgery

Faster regeneration with SVF

Fresh SVF from the patient's own fat supports tissue regeneration and recovery.

Thigh Lift Incision

Thigh lift incision, how far does it go?

The incision is designed in stages, from Step 1 to the Step 5 extended pattern, according to the degree of sagging.

GROIN INCISION

Step 1 incision

A short incision along the groin crease lifts the inner thigh skin upward. This is chosen when the sagging is concentrated in the upper thigh.

GROIN & INNER THIGH

Step 2 incision

A short vertical incision on the inner thigh is added to the groin incision, so the tissue can also be drawn up along the inner side.

EXTENDED INNER THIGH

Step 3 incision

The vertical incision is extended to the middle of the thigh. This applies when the inner sagging continues toward the knee.

FULL INNER THIGH

Step 4 incision

The full groin incision and the vertical inner thigh incision are extended close to the knee, so a wide area of skin can be excised.

Thigh lift Step 5 extended incision - TheLINE Plastic Surgery

EXTENDED THIGH LIFT

Step 5 extended thigh lift

The incision line is extended toward the gluteal crease to address sagging across the entire thigh. This is the design used when the sagging covers the widest area.
