- Thigh Lift
The thighs are one of the most prominent parts of the lower body. Having perfectly curved and shapely thighs gives a stunning and perfect look to the overall figure of the individual. However, many times the thighs lose their shape and start looking saggy and droopy. Sometimes, they also look heavier and out of proportion with the overall figure of the body. This can be a cause of embarrassment as heavy and unshapely thighs draw a lot of negative attention. This also restricts the freedom of choosing clothes as people often move away from skinny jeans and shorts.
Dr Santosh Bhatia of Vanity Cosmetic Clinic provides a perfect solution to achieve toned, taut and perfectly proportioned thighs with the help of Thigh Lift Surgery.

What Is
thigh lift?
A Thigh lift involves slimming down the thighs by getting rid of the fat and the sagging skin. Fat can easily accumulate over time due to different reasons like heredity, health reasons, pregnancy and unhealthy lifestyle. Ageing can also have a negative impact and lead to sagging, loose skin on the thighs. A thigh lift takes care of unshapely thighs due to all of these and various other reasons.
The excess fat is removed from inner as well as outer thighs to ensure an even removal of fat. This ensures an even and proportionate result which looks appealing and in accordance with the overall appearance of an individual.
