Smooth, sculpted thighs can transform how clothes fit and how confident you feel. If weight loss or aging has left you with lax, heavy, or uneven thigh contours, Dr. Adel Quttainah offers advanced thigh lift in Dubai to remove excess skin, refine shape, and restore your confidence.
What is a thigh lift in Dubai?
A thigh lift, also called a thighplasty, is a cosmetic surgery in which excess skin and sometimes fat are removed to tighten and reshape the thighs for a more toned, proportional look.
It’s commonly chosen after significant weight loss or when skin elasticity declines with age.
Who is a good candidate?
You can be a suitable candidate for thigh lift in Dubai if you have persistent inner or outer thigh laxity despite a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Surgeons often recommend that weight be stable for several months before surgery to help preserve results.
Types of thigh lifts
Your surgical plan is tailored to your anatomy, degree of laxity, and goals:
- Medial (inner) thigh lift: This is the most common approach, which tightens the upper inner thigh through an incision near the groin.
- Mini inner thigh lift: Focuses on limited upper-inner laxity using a shorter groin incision.
- Outer (bilateral) thigh lift: Elevates and smooths the outer thigh and lateral hip; incisions can extend toward the hip/back.
- Vertical thigh lift: This procedure addresses more extensive laxity with an incision that can run toward the knee; some surgeons avoid it due to the higher complication risk.
- Lift with liposuction: When skin quality is poor or focal fat persists, liposuction may be combined to improve contour.
Procedure
- Anaesthesia- Usually performed under general or spinal anaesthesia in an accredited facility.
- Incisions- Incisions are made based on the selected technique (inner, outer, mini, or vertical).
- Removal of excess skin and fat-The tissues are carefully redraped for a smooth contour.
- Suturing- Fine sutures close the incisions to promote optimal healing.
- Discharge- Most patients return home the same day if no additional procedures are performed.
Recovery & Results
- Compression garments and leg elevation help reduce swelling.
- Light walking is encouraged early; strenuous activity should be avoided for several weeks.
- Swelling and bruising gradually subside, though mild ankle swelling may occur as mobility increases.
- Scars mature and fade over 12–18 months.
- Expect a firmer, smoother, and more defined thigh contour once healing is complete.
What to Watch for During Recovery
Contact your surgeon if you notice:
- Worsening pain or bleeding through dressings
- Fever, chills, or wound separation
- Numbness or abnormal drainage
Seek emergency care for chest pain, shortness of breath, or an irregular heartbeat.
Potential Risks
As with any surgery, possible risks include:
- Bleeding, infection, or delayed wound healing
- Scarring or asymmetry
- Changes in skin sensation
- Fluid buildup or leg swelling (lymphedema)
Choosing a board-certified and experienced surgeon helps to minimize these risks.
Cost considerations
Costs vary with the extent of surgery, facility/anesthesia fees, and whether additional procedures (e.g., liposuction) are included.
