Thigh Lift - your professional Thigh Lift in the Czech Republic
During a thigh lift, superfluous skin at the inner and outer side of the thighs can be removed. A thigh lift can be combined with a liposuction. This can additionally improve the figure of your body. Both can be done during one surgery.
A tight lift is the perfect opportunity to fulfill the desire for a beautiful body silhouette. Due to the fact that the skin at the thigh loses its strength through the natural aging process or after a high weight loss, you might not be satisfied with the way your thighs look. Unfortunately, this process can’t be stopped with the right diet and sport.
A tight lift can harmonize your appearance and can contribute to your overall satisfaction in regards to your body. Our clinics in the Czech Republic provide inexpensive thigh lifts. Unfortunately, scars on the thigh are not inevitable. However, our patients are willing to accept these scars in order to enjoy the result of a professional thigh lift.

Before the Thigh Lift
About 4 weeks before the surgery, you should reduce smoking. Moreover alcohol should be avoided. On the day of the surgery you should not have your menstruation. About 2 weeks before the surgery you should not take anticoagulants (Aspirin, acetylsalicylic acid containing drugs). Not later than 3 weeks before the surgery the birth control pill must be discontinued.
In order to conduct the surgery you need a blood count and an electrocardiogram. In case you want to have the results before your appointment with your surgeon, your general practitioner can provide you with them. In this case you can bring the results with you (the results should not be older than two weeks). However, it is not mandatory to conduct these tests beforehand. The tests that you need in order to decide if you are ready for the operation will also be made directly at the clinic.
Process of the Thigh Lift
Before the surgery you will be informed during a detailed consultation on how the surgery is done. During this consultation you will be informed about possible complications and risks. It is advisable that you write down all the questions you have concerning the surgery before your appointment at the clinic.
The surgery will be conducted under general anaesthesia. Before the anaesthesia you will be advised by an anaesthetist about the risks, complications and possible alternatives to a narcosis. The anaesthetist will be present during the surgery. A general anaesthesia means stress for the body. Narcoses risks or complications can occur, depending on previous diseases and your general state of health.
The affected areas are measured and marked on the skin before the surgery. The necessary incisions for removing superfluous skin are placed in a way that make them most inconspicuous. Superfluous skin and subjacent tissue can be removed in this surgery.
During thigh lifts of a larger scale, it may be necessary to insert drainages in order to ensure that blood can flow off. Skin and muscles are tightened by fixing it with a thin suture. Then, the affected areas are bandaged.
After the Thigh Lift
Usually the drainages can be removed one to two days after the surgery. In order to support the affected area and the wound healing, you should wear the compression bandages about 6 weeks constantly. During this time you should avoid sports and other exhausting activities. Before you go home you will have a follow-up examination. Please do not drive yourself home, but bring an accompanying person with you. After about 2 weeks you can take up your everyday activities again.
Usually your general practitioner can take out the stitches after round about 21 days. You should only apply special scar ointment or crème on the scars. You can take showers again, as soon as the wounds are completely closed. Sunbaths and the sauna should be avoided for three months.
Possible risks and complications of the Thigh Lift
Usually you will have some pain (a tugging pain at the sutures) during the first few days after the surgery. This normally subsides after several days in the course of wound healing. The pains after the surgery can be alleviated by pain killers.
Particularly when the inner side of the thighs was lifted, a possibly swelling can remain for a short period of time. This can be treated with drugs and physical therapy (lymphatic drainage). It is possible that these treatments deteriorate the effect of the surgery.
After a surgery there can occur blood clots in the main veins (thrombosis), these can be carried further and thus block a blood vessel (embolism). As prevention it can be considered to take anticoagulant drugs (i. e. injections of heparin), however these cause an increased bleeding tendency and in very rare cases grave dysfunctions of blood coagulation.
Even when the wound healing is normal, scars can initially become red or harden. After a while they will fade, they become inconspicuous. You will be informed on further risks and possible side-effects in a comprehensive handout.
The description of the operation is generally phrased and can’t replace the personal consultation with the cosmetic surgeon. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to show before/after pictures, due to the fact that this is forbidden by the Law on Advertising in the Health Care System.
