A thigh lift (thighplasty) is a body contouring procedure designed to improve the shape of the upper legs by addressing loose skin (and, when appropriate, excess fat) in the inner and/or outer thigh area. In Antalya, Dr. Bahadır Çelik creates a personalized plan based on your skin quality, degree of laxity, and your goal for a natural-looking contour—while carefully planning incision placement and recovery.

The best approach is determined after an in-person assessment that reviews your anatomy, medical history, and expectations.
Thigh lift techniques are selected based on where the laxity is most prominent: some patients mainly need improvement along the inner thighs, while others benefit from contouring of the outer thigh/hip line. The goal is not a “one-size-fits-all” operation, but the most suitable technique and scar placement for your body.
In selected cases, a thigh lift can be combined with liposuction for improved contouring. It’s important to understand: fat excess and skin laxity are not the same problem. If the main issue is fat with good skin elasticity, liposuction alone may be enough. If there is significant loose skin, a thigh lift is often the more effective solution.
Mild to moderate swelling, tightness, and sensitivity are common in the early period. Recovery differs from person to person, but following your surgeon’s instructions regarding movement, compression garments (if recommended), and wound care can make a major difference. Returning to desk work is often possible earlier than physically demanding jobs.
A thigh lift is a surgical procedure, so scarring should be discussed openly. The aim is to position incisions as discreetly as possible, support good healing, and guide you on scar-care steps over time.
Thigh lift cost varies depending on the extent of surgery, whether additional procedures (such as liposuction) are needed, and the surgical plan created after your evaluation. For an accurate quote and a tailored plan, please contact us via our Contact page.
Results can be long-lasting, especially with stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. Significant weight changes may affect outcomes.
Light walking is usually encouraged early. Timing for gym workouts or high-impact sports is individualized and will be guided by your surgeon.
In suitable candidates, improving excess skin and contour can reduce friction-related discomfort.
