Thigh Lift

A thigh lift is an operation designed to remove excess skin and fat from the inside of the thigh to improve the shape and contour. Thigh lift is particularly effective as fat in this area is very difficult to reduce with diet and exercise alone. As we age and our skin quality reduces which can leave loose saggy skin, significant changes in weight can also cause this. People often feel very self-conscious and reluctant to wear clothes that expose this area such as swimming costumes.

There are many different variations of thigh lifts. In mild cases, combinations of liposuction with skin tightening (Renuvion) may be sufficient. However, is more severe cases, liposuction and excision of skin is more appropriate.

What to Expect on The Day:

The team will welcome you to the clinic and get you settled and relaxed. You will meet the consultant anaesthetist who will discuss this with you. We will go through the procedure and discuss the process and sign the consent form. Photographs will be taken before heading to theatre.

Mr West will mark the planned incisions and the tissue to be removed. Excess skin and fat is removed and the skin is closed with hidden dissolvable sutures. Dressings will be placed over the scars and a post surgical compression garment is put on.

Following surgery we will ensure all aftercare is explained and follow up appointments are arranged before letting you leave.

Frequently asked questions

How do you decide which procedure is best for me?

Mr West will assess your thighs, the degree of excess tissue and what type of tissue it is (skin or skin and fat). In mild cases, liposuction and skin tightening may be sufficient. But in more severe cases excision of skin and liposuction may be necessary.

What are the follow up or aftercare procedures?

Wounds are checked 7 – 10 days after surgery and scar massage begins after 2 weeks. Further review appointment is usually made 4-6 weeks after surgery.

Will I have drains?

In most cases Mr West does not use drains.

When can I start playing sports again?

Light activity is ok after 1 -2 weeks. Vigorous exercise and exercises where the legs are stretched should be avoided for at least 3 – 4 weeks.

When can I shower?

You can shower the day after surgery. Dressings are shower proof and should be dabbed dry.

  Blow Media have just launched our brand swanky new website and, excuse the pun, we are blown away.

Scott, Ross and Rik nailed the brief we gave them and have gone above and beyond to produce a cracking website. It was also excellent value for money!

The team were responsive throughout and were understanding and cool about last minute changes and design tweaking.

I couldn't recommend them highly enough!

  Best Website Design Agency in Berkshire in my view, perhaps the best in the UK. Have built 5 websites with them for clients in London, Leamington and Berkshire and every-time they knock it out the park.

  This is an example of what our target clients are saying...“I have just looked at your new website….It does look amazing!!!! Very fresh, modern, vibrant and clear and simple to navigate. :)”. Exactly what we want - Scott and his team have delivered against the brief for our new website. Can't recommend them highly enough.

  We have worked with Blowmedia closely to build two websites. I am not a very techy person and was daunted by the whole process, Scott explained everything to me in a way I could understand, always at the end of the phone or contactable by email and the whole process dealing with him and his team was easy and painless. The website is very professional and easy to navigate and has instantly from being launched started to attract new patients. I would highly recommend Scott and the Blowmedia's team to build any website.

  I initially spoke to a member of Blow Media's team at a trade show and was very impressed with what they had to offer and with the websites they had already built which I was able to look at on my phone as I queued up to speak to somebody.
The initial meeting was followed up very promptly that following week with an email and a fully detailed proposal of what they could offer which was very easy to follow, explaining fully all their services and a breakdown of their costs.
I had already researched web designers thoroughly and soon realised that Blow Media, from my initial meeting and early correspondance, was the company I was going to use.
From day one they were very proactive  and led the whole process. Scott the MD came to see us and very quickly fully understood and visualised what we wanted to achieve perfectly. He also recommended a content writer, an SEO company, a company to do some filming in the clinic and a photographer. We used all his contacts other than the photographer which we decided to try and do ourselves but have since decided to use the photographer Blow Media initially recommended as my photography was the only thing I could criticise about my website.
I would highly recommend Blow Media and their whole team, I have already instructed them to start work on our second website as our first website is already delivering and the clinic has never been busier.

  Blow Media  built our first website back in 2011. They worked closely with us and were able to deliver an outstanding, well presented website that enabled us to get found on search engines. After our business continued to grow we commissioned a second website in 2014 and then our third website was built in 2018. Our experience from start to finish has been fantastic With a special mention for Tracy and Scott who always make the process a joy. I would highly recommend the team and have many times already!
