Thigh Lift

A thigh lift removes loose, sagging skin and excess fat from the inner thighs — typically after major weight loss — to restore a firmer, smoother leg contour and eliminate skin chafing. Prim. MUDr. Inka Třešková performs the procedure under general anaesthesia at FN Plzeň with an overnight inpatient stay.

The inner thigh is one of the areas most affected by skin laxity after substantial weight loss: the overstretched skin envelope hangs in folds that rub when walking, irritate in warm weather, and resist any amount of training. A thigh lift (thigh plasty) excises this redundant skin-and-fat excess through an incision placed in the groin crease — extended down the inner thigh when the laxity is more extensive — and re-drapes the remaining skin into a firm, smooth contour. Liposuction is commonly combined to thin the fat layer evenly first. The operation is performed under general anaesthesia (included in the price) in the FN Plzeň university-hospital theatres with an overnight inpatient stay billed per the hospital tariff. Compression garments are worn for around six weeks. Walking is encouraged from the first day, but wide-legged movement and sport are restricted for four to six weeks while the inner-thigh incisions heal. Most patients return to desk work within two weeks. Scars are placed to be hidden by underwear where possible and fade substantially over the first year. The free consultation covers incision planning, the realistic degree of tightening, and whether combining the lift with liposuction will give the best contour.
