Thighs & Legs Lift / Liposuction

At the Braham Institute, our advanced Thigh Lift with Liposuction offers a minimally invasive solution for reshaping and tightening the thighs without the need for major surgery. Ideal for individuals struggling with stubborn fat deposits, lipoedema, loose skin, or lack of definition in the thigh area—especially following weight loss—this procedure is designed for comfort, precision, and minimal downtime. Performed under local anaesthetic infiltration, the treatment area is numbed to ensure a virtually pain-free experience while avoiding the risks and extended recovery associated with sedation. A small incision is made to insert a VASER probe, a state-of-the-art ultrasound-assisted device that emits sound energy to break down and liquefy fat cells. The fat is then gently suctioned out, and in cases of skin laxity, excess tissue may also be trimmed to improve firmness and tone.

This technique allows for both fat reduction and skin tightening in a single session, offering smoother, more contoured thighs and a more defined bikini line. Most patients experience enhanced mobility, reduced skin friction, and visible results within weeks. Recovery is typically quick, with a downtime of just 1 to 2 weeks. This procedure is best suited for individuals with localised fat and mild to moderate skin laxity who want a non-surgical solution with immediate and natural-looking outcomes. Before treatment, your surgeon will perform a full consultation and may request medical clearance to ensure your safety.

First 24 Hours: Expect mild swelling, slight bruising, and some discomfort. Cleanse the area gently. Follow any specific aftercare instructions given by your surgeon.

Days 1–3: Continue to rest and avoid heavy or strenuous activities. Swelling may still be present but should gradually start to decrease.

End of Week 1: You may resume light activities, but it’s important to avoid any strenuous exercise or high-impact movements.

Weeks 2–6: Slowly begin to reintroduce heavier activities as your body continues to heal. Swelling and bruising should significantly improve. Some scarring from the thigh lift may still be visible.

One Month Post-Op: You should start seeing noticeable improvements in the contour of your thighs. Scars will begin to fade gradually over time.

Ongoing Healing: Follow-up appointments will help monitor your recovery and determine if any additional treatments are necessary.

Long-Term Results: With proper care, results will continue to improve as swelling completely subsides and scars fade further over time.

You may be a good candidate if you have excess skin, stubborn fat, or sagging in your inner or outer thighs—especially after significant weight loss—and are in good overall health.

Liposuction removes excess fat, while a thigh lift removes loose or sagging skin. When combined, the procedures contour and tighten the thighs for more dramatic results.

Discomfort is usually minimal. Most patients receive either local or general anaesthesia depending on the extent of the procedure, and pain is typically managed with prescribed medication during recovery.

Recovery varies, but most patients can resume light activities after 1 week and return to normal routines, including exercise, after 4 to 6 weeks.

Yes, there may be small, discreet scars where incisions are made. However, they usually fade significantly over time and are often placed in less noticeable areas.

Results are long-lasting, especially with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. However, ageing and future weight fluctuations can affect the long-term appearance.
