Istanbul / Turkey
Significant weight loss, the natural aging process, or genetics can lead to excess, sagging skin on the inner and outer thighs. Often referred to as "heavy thighs" or "chafing," this excess skin can be difficult to tone through exercise alone.
At Visit Plus Care, we offer the Thigh Lift (Thighplasty)—a surgical procedure designed to remove loose skin, reduce stubborn fat, and reshape the thighs for a smoother, firmer, and more athletic appearance. Our expert surgeons in Istanbul specialize in techniques that minimize scarring while maximizing the contour of your legs.
A Thigh Lift is a body contouring procedure that targets the skin and fat of the thigh area. At Visit Plus Care, we customize the surgery based on the location and amount of excess tissue:
The most common technique, focusing on the inner thigh. The incision is usually placed in the groin crease, extending downward if necessary. It effectively treats "crepy" skin and friction issues.
Ideal for patients with sagging skin localized to the upper third of the inner thigh. This involves a smaller incision in the groin area only.
Designed to address the outer thighs and hips. This procedure is often part of a lower body lift and helps smooth out "saddlebags" and sagging skin on the sides of the legs.
To achieve the most refined results, our surgeons often combine Thigh Lift surgery with Vaser Liposuction. This allows us to remove deep fat deposits before tightening the skin, ensuring the legs look sculpted rather than just "pulled."
We understand the importance of aesthetic results. Our surgeons are experts in placing incisions in the natural folds of the groin or along the inner inseam of the leg, where they are least visible in clothing or swimwear.
Your safety is our priority. Your surgery will take place in one of Istanbul’s top-tier hospitals, equipped with advanced medical technology and supported by an elite surgical team.
At Visit Plus Care, we prioritize your safe recovery. Because the thighs are a high-movement area, we require a stay of 5 to 7 nights in Istanbul to ensure your healing is off to a perfect start.
Nights 1-2: You will stay in our luxury hospital for professional monitoring and post-operative pain management.
Nights 3-7: You will transition to a 5-star hotel. Our medical team will conduct follow-up visits to monitor your incisions and ensure you are walking comfortably.
The "Clear to Fly": On day 6 or 7, after a final check-up and dressing change, you will be cleared to fly home with your personalized aftercare instructions.
Virtual Consultation: Send us photos of your legs from the front, side, and back. Our surgeons will determine the best incision pattern for your skin quality.
The Procedure: Typically lasts 2 to 3 hours under general anesthesia.
VIP Logistics: We handle all transfers between the airport, hotel, and hospital in private luxury vehicles.
Compression Support: You will be provided with a specialized compression garment to wear for 4-6 weeks to reduce swelling and support your new contours.
1. Is a Thigh Lift a weight-loss procedure? No. A Thigh Lift is a skin-tightening and contouring procedure. It is most successful when the patient is at or near their stable target weight.
2. Will I have visible scars? All skin-removal surgeries result in scars. However, our surgeons use multi-layered suturing to ensure thin lines. With proper scar-care kits (provided by Visit Plus Care), these marks will fade significantly over the first year.
3. When can I return to exercise? Walking is encouraged immediately after surgery to promote circulation. However, strenuous leg workouts (squats, running) should be avoided for 6 to 8 weeks.
4. Can I combine a Thigh Lift with a Tummy Tuck? Yes. Many patients combine these procedures—often referred to as a Lower Body Lift—to address the entire mid-to-lower section in one trip.
You’ve worked hard for your body; let us help you finish the transformation. At Visit Plus Care, we combine world-class Turkish surgery with the comfort of a 5-star holiday.
