What a thigh lift involves
Four stages — from the initial assessment to the follow-up check. You’ll know in advance how the preparation, surgery, and recovery unfold.
- 1
Preliminary assessment by the doctor
Send photos and describe the changes you’d like. The doctor will assess your anatomy and the possible scope of correction. An online consultation with the doctor is also available.
- 2
Consultation and preparation in Istanbul
Before surgery, you’ll have an in-person consultation with the doctor and the necessary preoperative workup — its scope depends on the type of surgery and anesthesia.
Preparation and tests
Before your trip, the coordinator will send a short list: which medications to stop in advance, what to bring, and how to prepare for the flight.
In Istanbul, before surgery, you’ll have blood tests, an ECG, and a consultation with the anesthesiologist. The doctor examines your thighs, and together you agree on the surgical plan. If the tests suggest it’s better to postpone, you’ll know well in advance.

Surgery
A thigh lift is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 2 hours on average. After surgery, the patient stays one night in the clinic under medical supervision.
During the surgery
The doctor removes excess skin from the inner thighs. If there are fat deposits in this area, liposuction is also performed during the same procedure.
The scar runs along the inner thigh, where it isn’t noticeable at first glance.

Recovery
After discharge, recovery continues at the hotel, and the assistants stay in touch with you. A compression garment is recommended after surgery, along with wound care using special creams and massage oils; on day 7, the doctor performs a follow-up check.
Recovery day by day
0After surgery — one night at the clinic under medical supervision.
1An examination before discharge and transfer to the hotel. Swelling, bruising, and a feeling of tightness can be a normal part of recovery after surgery.
2–6Recovery at the hotel in a compression garment, with wound care as advised by the doctor.
7The final check before you leave. By this point any drains that were placed have already been removed, dressings have been changed and stitches taken out. The doctor makes sure that healing is going normally and there are no signs of complications.
Beyond thatOver time, the scars take on a skin-like color and become almost invisible. Scheduled photo check-ins let the doctor follow how recovery is progressing.
Risks and contraindicationsPatient safety is the priority at every stage. Before the procedure, the doctor assesses the patient’s health.
Risks
Like any surgical procedure, a thigh lift carries possible risks, including bleeding, infection, swelling, temporary changes in sensation, asymmetry, and variations in how scars form. It isn’t possible to remove post-surgical marks completely. In some cases, additional correction may be needed. Possible risks are discussed with the patient before surgery.
Contraindications
Acute illnesses and inflammatory conditions, blood-clotting disorders, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and certain chronic conditions may be grounds for postponing surgery or for further evaluation. The decision on whether surgery can proceed is made by the doctors after assessing the patient’s health.
What’s included in your treatment

Questions and answers
Ask a question →How much does the surgery cost?
The cost is calculated individually. The doctor provides it after reviewing your photos. Send them on WhatsApp — you’ll receive a plan and the full price.
Will the scars be visible?
The scar runs along the inner thigh and isn’t noticeable at first glance. The mark can’t be removed completely, but over time it takes on a skin tone and becomes almost invisible.
How long does recovery take?
Timing is individual. A compression garment is recommended after surgery, along with wound care using special creams and massage oils — the doctor will give you personal recommendations at the follow-up check.
When can I return to work and sports?
Timing is individual and depends on how your recovery goes. The doctor will give you personal recommendations at the follow-up check and will stay in touch with you after you return home.
How many days do I need to be in Istanbul?
For surgeries under general anesthesia we recommend 7–8 days in Istanbul — from arrival to the follow-up check; under local anesthesia, 2–3 days. The coordinator will agree exact dates with you after the doctor’s preliminary assessment.
When can I fly home?
After the follow-up check on day 7. The doctor clears you to go home once he’s confident your recovery is on track.
