Toned and harmonious thighs

Cruroplasty, or thigh lift, is the surgical procedure that removes excess skin and localized fat from the inner thighs. It is indicated for individuals presenting with:

  • Skin laxity following significant weight loss
  • Inelastic skin on the inner aspect of the thighs
  • Stubborn localized fat deposits
  • Discomfort caused by chafing between the thighs

The procedure restores a more harmonious and defined leg silhouette, improving comfort in daily life and during sports activities.

The journey

Stages of the treatment


Skin laxity, fat distribution, and muscle tone are evaluated. The most appropriate technique is planned: vertical, horizontal, or combined cruroplasty.

Pre-operative examinations: blood chemistry tests, ECG, anesthesiology consultation.

  • Duration: 2 – 3 hours
  • Anesthesia: general
  • Hospital stay: 1 night

The incision can be concealed within the inguinal crease (horizontal cruroplasty) or extended along the inner thigh for more severe cases.

A compression garment must be worn for approximately one month. Rest during the first few days and a gradual resumption of activities are recommended.

  • Resumption of light activities: 14–21 days
  • Full recovery: 6 weeks
  • Sports activities: after 6–8 weeks
