Removing excess inner-thigh skin to restore a firmer, smoother contour after weight loss or with age.


A thigh lift removes excess, loose skin from the inner (medial) thigh and, where needed, refines the contour with liposuction. It is most often chosen after significant weight loss, where skin no longer retracts on its own.
It improves contour and comfort but involves a scar, usually in the groin crease and sometimes extending down the inner thigh, depending on how much skin is removed. The trade-off between scar and contour is discussed carefully.
It does not remove cellulite, is not a weight-loss procedure, and cannot avoid a scar, which is the trade-off for removing excess skin.
You will receive individualized preparation guidance. Scar pattern, the balance between contour and scar, and weight stability are discussed at consultation.
Excess inner-thigh skin is removed and the remaining skin is redraped, with liposuction used where helpful to refine the contour. Incisions are placed in the groin crease and, where more skin is removed, along the inner thigh.
Swelling and tightness are expected, and movement is limited early on. A compression garment is worn as advised, and activity is increased gradually. Inner-thigh scars need time and care to settle.
A firmer, smoother inner thigh is achievable, with reduced chafing. The scar is permanent and can be more noticeable in this area, and significant weight change can alter the result.
All surgery carries risks. Possible risks include:
Smoking and impaired circulation raise the risk of healing problems and wound complications, so honest assessment and smoking cessation are essential. The inner thigh is a demanding area for healing, so realistic expectations about scarring are important.
Body contouring at Skulpturkliniken is performed by Dr. Matteo Amoroso, a specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon. His reconstructive background gives him a detailed command of anatomy, blood supply, and tissue handling, which is the foundation for safe contouring and natural proportions.
Dr. Amoroso plans every procedure around your proportions rather than maximum change. The aim is a balanced, natural shape that suits your frame and moves naturally, planned with restraint so the result looks like you at your best.
Choosing a surgeon is personal, and the relationship should rest on open communication and trust. From the first consultation, Dr. Amoroso helps you understand what is realistic, which approach suits you, and whether surgery is the right option at all.
Every procedure begins with a detailed assessment. We evaluate:
