Excess skin and sagging around the thighs can be difficult to address with exercise alone, especially after significant weight loss or as a result of ageing. Thigh lift surgery in London offers a targeted solution to reshape the upper legs, remove loose skin and improve overall leg contour.
At Delta Clinics, we offer bespoke thigh lift procedures tailored to your anatomy, goals and comfort. Whether you’re seeking a smoother silhouette or improved skin firmness, our approach prioritises proportionate, natural-looking results that suit your frame.
What Is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and, in some cases, underlying fat from the inner or outer thighs. Often chosen by individuals who have experienced major weight changes or skin laxity over time, the procedure is designed to tighten and reshape the upper legs.
There are several types of thigh lift procedures available, including inner thigh lifts, outer thigh lifts and vertical thigh lifts. At Delta Clinics, we’ll recommend the most appropriate technique based on your goals and individual anatomy, ensuring that the result aligns with your natural proportions and skin quality.
Benefits of Thigh Lift Surgery
A well-planned and precisely performed thigh lift can offer numerous benefits, including:
- Removal of excess skin on the thighs for a smoother contour
- Enhanced leg shape and definition in the upper thigh area
- Reduction in skin chafing or discomfort from loose skin
- A firmer, more youthful leg appearance after weight loss
- Improved symmetry between the thighs and lower body
- Long-lasting results with a single surgical procedure

What Does the Thigh Lift Procedure Involve?
The specifics of your thigh lift surgery will depend on the technique required, the amount of skin to be removed and the extent of reshaping needed. Common approaches include:
Inner Thigh Lift
This focuses on the inner thigh area and is ideal for removing sagging skin along the inner leg. The incision is usually placed in the groin crease for discreet healing.
Outer or Extended Thigh Lift
This technique targets the outer thighs and may extend to the hips or buttocks area. It is often chosen by those with significant skin laxity or following major weight loss.
Vertical Thigh Lift
A vertical lift is suitable for more extensive reshaping and involves a longer incision along the inner thigh. It can remove a larger amount of excess skin and achieve more dramatic contouring.
Your Thigh Lift Journey: What to Expect
1. Consultation
You’ll begin with a detailed consultation with your surgeon to assess your thighs, skin quality and goals. We’ll explain the options available and determine the most effective approach for your body type.
2. Surgical Plan
A tailored surgical plan is developed using photography, measurements and pre-operative planning tools. We’ll provide a full breakdown of what to expect on the day of surgery and during recovery.
3. Surgery Day
Thigh lift surgery is carried out under general anaesthetic and usually takes between two to four hours, depending on complexity. Our aim is to achieve tighter, more contoured thighs while minimising visible scarring.
4. Post-Surgical Aftercare
After your procedure, you’ll be given comprehensive recovery advice. We’ll also schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor healing and support your return to everyday activities.

Recovery Timeline
While recovery will vary depending on the type of thigh lift performed and your own healing process, the typical timeline is as follows:
- Week 1: Bruising, swelling, and tightness are common; compression garments are worn to support the area.
- Weeks 2–3: Swelling reduces significantly; most patients return to light daily activities.
- Weeks 4–6: Gradual return to normal movement and non-strenuous exercise.
- Months 3–6: Scars begin to fade; final results continue to settle, and skin tightens further.
