What is Leg Lift (cruroplasty)?
The leg lift, also known as cruroplasty, is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the thighs to achieve firmer, smoother, and more proportionate legs.
It is especially indicated for people who have experienced significant weight loss, aging, or body changes that cause skin sagging. The goal of this surgery is to redefine the contour of the legs, tighten the skin, and restore a younger and more natural appearance, always respecting the anatomy of each patient.
Types of Leg Lifts
Mini or localized thigh lift
The mini thigh lift, also known as localized thigh lift, is a cosmetic surgery procedure indicated to correct mild to moderate sagging and excess skin or fat in the upper and inner thigh area. Unlike the full lift, it uses smaller incisions strategically located in the groin crease, which allows for better concealment of scars and promotes faster recovery.
Full thigh lift
It is indicated when there is moderate to severe sagging on the inner thigh. It allows for the removal of a greater amount of skin and completely redefines the shape of the legs.
Leg lift with liposuction
It is used when, in addition to sagging, there are localized fat deposits. It combines liposuction with the removal of excess skin to achieve a more harmonious and streamlined result.
What is the process of Leg Lift?
The leg lift or cruroplasty is performed under general anesthesia through an incision carefully placed in the groin crease. In cases of greater sagging, this incision may extend along the inner thigh. Through this access, the surgeon removes excess fat (using liposuction if necessary) and removes the excess skin. Then, the tissues are tightened to redefine the contour of the leg and achieve a firm and natural result.
Personalized medical assessment
The first visit is conducted with the surgeon who will perform your procedure, who evaluates the degree of sagging, the quality of the skin, and defines which type of leg lift is most suitable for your case. To book the appointment, a payment of €80 must be made in advance.
Preparation for the procedure
A personalized surgical strategy is designed, defining whether a mini, full, or liposuction-combined thigh lift will be performed, as well as the extent of the correction.
The procedure
The leg lift is performed in certified operating rooms and carried out by a specialist with over 30 years of experience, removing excess skin and, if necessary, localized fat, to achieve firmer and more streamlined legs. The procedure concludes with layered sutures to promote good healing and the placement of a compression garment, which helps the skin adapt to its new shape during recovery.
Comfortable recovery
After surgery, a progressive recovery phase begins with continuous medical follow-up and advanced protocols to minimize discomfort, inflammation, and accelerate recovery.
Start looking how you want to feel.
The results are gradually noticeable, consolidating over weeks and months, as the tissues adapt to the new contour of the legs.
