With Dr. Mark Kohout
What is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift is a surgical procedure designed to alter the appearance of the thighs by removing excess skin and fat. This procedure is often sought by individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, leading to excess, loose skin on the thigh area. During a thigh lift, the surgeon makes incisions to remove the excess tissue and also aims to reposition the remaining skin for a firmer and more toned appearance.
Who May Benefit
Those with excess skin due to pregnancy, ageing, genetics or significant weight loss.
Adults wanting to reduce excess, loose thigh skin.
Patients in good health with realistic expectations.
Individuals not achieving desired results through diet and exercise.

How is the procedure performed?
Anaesthesia Administration
The procedure begins with the administration of anaesthesia, which can be either general or local, depending on the extent of the surgery and patient preference.
Incision Creation
The surgeon makes incisions in the designated areas of the thighs, typically on the inner thigh or around the groin, to reduce visible scarring.
Tissue Removal and Closure
Excess skin and fat are removed, the remaining skin is tightened, and the incisions are closed with sutures to complete the procedure.

What are the Risks?
Thigh lift surgery carries several risks that patients should be aware of. Infection at the incision sites is a possibility and may require additional treatment. Patients might experience scarring or noticeable changes in the appearance of their thighs, as well as potential complications such as blood clots or issues related to anaesthesia. Additionally, there is a chance of asymmetry or irregularities in the thighs post-surgery.

What are the Costs?
The cost of a thigh lift varies based on several factors, including the surgeon’s fee, facility charges, and anaesthesia costs. Additional expenses such as pre-operative consultations, post-operative care, and required medications can also influence the overall price.
