About this
Service

People with loose or saggy skin in the thigh, particularly after significant weight loss, may benefit from a thigh lift. The surgery involves removing excess skin and fat from the thigh through an incision in the inner thigh or groin, typically hidden by underwear or swimwear. The scar length will depend on the extent of skin and fat removal needed. The remaining skin is tightened to create a smoother, more toned appearance. In some cases, liposuction may be used to remove excess fat. The results of a Thigh Lift can be long-lasting if a healthy lifestyle is maintained.

Vaser

VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. It is a form of ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) technology used in cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures. VASER liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that targets and removes excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body. During VASER liposuction, Professor Hindocha makes small incisions in the targeted area and inserts a probe that emits ultrasound waves. These ultrasonic waves specifically target and break down the fat cells while leaving other tissues, such as blood vessels and nerves, largely unaffected. The liquefied fat is then suctioned out through a cannula, resulting in a smoother contour and improved body shape.
