Thigh lift in Frankfurt

For firm, shapely legs

Thigh lift

Feel good with a harmonious silhouette

Over time, our skin loses its elasticity and resilience. It begins to sag – even on the thighs. Sagging tissue on the legs due to age or severe weight loss is perceived as annoying by many of those affected. Many decide to seek the help of a specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery for aesthetic reasons as well as due to possible restrictions on freedom of movement. A thigh lift can help you to feel good all over again.

By removing excess skin and – if necessary – fatty tissue, a slim, defined contour of the thighs is created. The result is firmer legs that not only improve your appearance, but also noticeably increase your self-confidence and enjoyment of your own body.

At our practice in Frankfurt, we take the time to listen to your wishes and ideas. With over 10 years of experience in plastic and aesthetic surgery, Dr. Abuagela and his team stand for precision, safety and treatment concepts that are individually tailored to you.

  • Removal of excess skin on the thighs
  • Firmer, more defined contours for a harmonious silhouette
  • Can be combined with liposuction for optimal results
  • Inconspicuous scars, preferably placed on natural skin folds
  • Lasting results with stable weight
  • More ease, comfort and self-confidence in everyday life

Definition of

What is a thigh lift?

A thigh lift (medically known as a thighplasty ) is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and tissue from the thighs and tightens the skin. If desired, the treatment can be combined with liposuction to achieve an even more harmonious result.

Common reasons for a thigh lift are

  • Excess skin after severe weight loss
  • Sagging skin due to natural ageing
  • Disproportionate contours in the thigh area
  • Restrictions in everyday life due to friction and skin folds

The aim is to achieve a firmer, more harmonious leg shape that better matches your natural body line. Many patients report that they enjoy wearing skirts, dresses or swimwear again after the operation and feel freer and more self-confident overall.

Treatment methods

Options for a thigh lift in Frankfurt

  • Classic thigh lift: Removal of excess skin and tissue on the inside of the thighs with scarring from the groin to the knee.
  • Mini thigh lift: If there is less excess skin, a smaller procedure is performed with a shorter incision, usually in the groin area.
  • Liposuction and Renuvion®: As an alternative to the classic thigh lift, we offer a scar-free alternative for moderate skin tightening. In combination with liposuction, we remove stubborn fat deposits in the legs and tighten the skin using Renuvion®. A plasma beam is delivered to the tissue and stimulates skin-rejuvenating cell renewal.

The preparation

We conduct a detailed consultation before every procedure. We analyze your skin and tissue situation, talk about your wishes and answer all your questions. It is important to us that you can approach the treatment with a good feeling and feel well prepared. Two weeks before the operation, blood-thinning medication, alcohol and nicotine should be avoided to promote healing.

The treatment

The thigh lift in our Frankfurt practice is performed under general anesthesia in a procedure lasting two to four hours, depending on the findings. After marking the exact incision on the inside of the legs, the excess skin is removed and the edges of the wound are sutured back together. Existing fatty tissue can also be removed. The aim is to achieve a natural, harmonious result with scars that are as inconspicuous as possible.

The aftercare

After the operation, you will wear special compression garments that support the healing process and stabilize the new contours. Swelling and bruising may occur in the first few weeks, but these will gradually subside. After about a week, you will generally be able to socialize again, but you should refrain from sporting activities for about 6 weeks. The final result will be visible after a few months, when the swelling has completely subsided. Even after the treatment, we are always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have.

He therefore limits the risk of complications to an absolute minimum.
