Thigh lift
After the spread of stomach cuts and other operations that seek to lose weight, many people after losing weight suffer from significant sagging of the skin in a number of areas, especially in the thighs, as the thigh lift operation works to get rid of sagging skin in this area for a more consistent appearance.
It is a plastic surgery that works to get rid of sagging skin in the skin of the thighs, especially that accumulated after a significant weight loss, where the surgeons at the Excellage Clinic make a surgical incision, work on liposuction, cut the excess skin, and re-sew the skin after this procedure to get the final result.

Stages of a thigh lift operation
In the beginning, the surgeon may place a number of lines and draw the contours of the surgeon’s work, and some pictures may also be taken.
The procedure is done under general anesthesia, so it has to be done in a medical facility.
The type of incision that the surgeon will make varies according to the size and location of the sagging.
The surgeon removes the accumulated fat, cuts the excess skin, and re-sutures the edges of the wound with cosmetic sutures.
