Are you thinking about a thigh lift to enhance the look of your legs? Maybe you’re curious whether this surgery can reduce the appearance of cellulite. In this blog, we’ll dive into what a thigh lift involves, who it’s best suited for, and whether it can truly help with cellulite.
A thigh lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the thighs, reshaping them for a smoother, firmer, and more toned silhouette. There are different types of thigh lifts, including inner thigh lift, outer thigh lift, and medial thigh lift. The right option for you depends on your individual goals and the areas you want to target.
Thigh lift surgery comes with several key benefits:
Thigh lift surgery is ideal for those in good health who have maintained a stable weight but are dealing with excess skin or fat on their thighs. It’s important to remember that a thigh lift is not a weight loss procedure.
It’s also commonly recommended for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss—whether through diet and exercise or bariatric surgery—since rapid weight loss can lead to sagging skin that doesn’t improve with further lifestyle changes.
While a thigh lift improves the overall shape and tightness of the thighs, it doesn’t directly target cellulite. Cellulite results from the way fat cells and connective tissue interact beneath the skin, causing a dimpled or lumpy surface.
That said, removing excess fat and skin during a thigh lift can help reduce the visibility of cellulite to some extent. However, it’s important to have realistic expectations—thigh lift surgery is unlikely to completely eliminate cellulite but can improve the overall appearance of your legs.
A thigh lift is a surgical procedure designed to address loose and sagging skin folds around the thigh area, lifting and tightening the skin to create a firmer, smoother contour. This procedure is especially suitable for patients who have experienced significant or rapid weight loss, leading to stretched tissue that hangs from the thighs. For sagging buttocks, a buttock lift can be performed as well.
Combined with liposuction, thigh lifts can also remove unwanted fat deposits, resulting in a more sculpted and aesthetically pleasing leg shape. The outcome is firmer, smoother skin and improved leg contours.
Sagging skin in the thigh area can occur naturally due to genetics, weight fluctuations, or ageing — which causes the skin on the upper legs to lose elasticity and become loose.
During your consultation at Kat & Co, your surgeon will share before and after photos tailored to your individual goals. These examples, including those with VASER liposuction alternatives, can help you understand the potential results and decide if a thigh lift is right for you.

At Kat & Co, thigh lift surgery starts from £5,944. Exact pricing depends on your personal treatment plan and any additional procedures such as liposuction. A consultation is required to assess your needs and provide a tailored quote.
As we age, the skin on our thighs naturally loses elasticity and starts to sag. This is especially true for those who have undergone repeated cycles of weight gain and loss, which stretch the skin multiple times.
Once the skin is stretched beyond its ability to bounce back, it won’t tighten naturally, and diet or exercise alone can’t fix it. In these cases, surgical intervention like a thigh lift is often the only way to restore a tighter, leaner leg contour.
Sagging skin can also affect confidence, particularly when wearing swimwear or sportswear. Many people choose thigh lift surgery to regain comfort and feel better about their appearance.
