Cruroplasty Cost in Istanbul, Turkey

The prices of surgical thigh lift in the best clinics in Turkey vary greatly depending on the structure where the surgeon operates, his team and also the complexity of the intervention.

The cost of the possible and contextual liposuction must also be calculated in the estimate, if deemed possible and necessary by the surgeon.

Generally, for these reasons, the average price for a surgical thigh lift in Istanbul Turkey is between €5,000 and €9,000, but variations within this range are always possible.

These prices should therefore only be considered as an indication. In this regard, Turquie Santé guarantees you the bestprices for a thigh lift and under the guidance of highly qualified plastic surgeons.

Among our doctors for your Thigh lift

What is a thigh lift surgery?

Say goodbye to chafing and inner thigh discomfort! A thigh lift, also known as a cruroplasty, is an aesthetic surgical procedure that restores youth and vitality to your legs.

The procedure focuses on the inner thighs, removing excess skin and fat. Depending on your needs, the lift can be extended to the outer thighs and buttocks for a more harmonious overall result (circumferential thigh lift). In addition to the aesthetic aspect, the thigh lift also aims to improve your comfort by reducing friction and inflammation.

In some cases, a thigh lift can be combined with liposuction. This technique removes localized fat deposits for an even more sculpted result.

If you're considering a thigh lift, don't hesitate to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss your needs and expectations. He or she will be able to offer you a personalized solution tailored to your morphology.

Indications of thighplasty

Sagging skin on the thighs can have both aesthetic and functional consequences.

Thigh lift surgery is particularly indicated in the following cases:

Thigh lift surgery process

Cruroplasty in Turkey is usually performed under general anesthesia with hospitalization or, more rarely, in a day hospital.

Incisions are made in the thigh, lateropubic and inguinal regions through which the skin is "pulled" upward. Once the excess skin has been removed, the skin is secured in its new position with stitches.

The size of the incisions for this procedure can vary considerably and result in more or less visible scars, often hidden in the inguinal crease.

Drains are placed during the procedure to collect excess fluids and are removed after a few days.

Results of thigh lift

The final assessment of thigh lift results takes place 6 to 12 months after surgery.

In general, there is a visible improvement in fat infiltration and skin laxity, resulting in a significantly slimmer, redefined thigh silhouette. The skin appears tighter, more compact and smoother.

Incisions are usually discreet and strategically placed in the natural folds of the skin for better concealment.

You should approach a thigh lift with realistic expectations. This is a procedure designed to significantly improve the appearance of the thighs, not to achieve total perfection.

By adopting a realistic perspective, you will maximize your chances of being completely satisfied with your results.

Post-surgery phase

The postoperative phase of a thigh lift requires special attention, especially in terms of diet. 

For the first 24 hours after the procedure, choose a light diet and favor liquids. This will allow your body to focus on healing and minimize possible nausea. Fruit juices, clear broths, warm soups, and applesauce are excellent choices.

Classic side effects associated with thigh lift surgery include:

Follow your surgeon's instructions regarding the use of medications, including antibiotics and pain medications. Wearing compression stockings, as prescribed by your surgeon, will help reduce swelling and promote good circulation.

Manual lymphatic drainage may also be recommended to stimulate lymphatic circulation and speed healing.

Resumption of normal activities is expected approximately 2 weeks after surgery, although it should be noted that each situation is different.

Why have a thigh lift in Turkey?

Surgical techniques for thigh lifts have evolved significantly, allowing for more precise and harmonious results.

The growing expertise of aesthetic surgeons in Turkey also contributes to the improved results of this procedure.

Thigh lift surgery, which was once associated with reservations, now enjoys a much more positive reputation as a result of these advances.

Thigh lift FAQ in Turkey

What are the scars from a thigh lift ?

The scar appearance generated by the thigh lift depends on the procedure performed and the extent of the excess skin removed, where two types of scars are distinguished :

  • Horizontal scar: located on the inner side of the upper thighs (hidden in the elder).
  • T-shaped scar: made along the entire length of the thighs when the vertical skin excess is very important.
When can you observe the final results of the thigh lift?

Immediately after the thigh lift, you can perceive a disappearance of the excess skin of the thighs and irregularities (fatty deposits) that can be eliminated following combined liposuction. Optimal results can be seen after an average of 3 months.

What are the post-operative effects of a thigh lift ?

Among the post-operative effects observed after a thigh lift, we note :

  • Decreased sensitivity in the thighs
  • Appearance of edema
  • Asymmetrical bruising that can last up to 20 days
What are the different types of thigh lift ?

There are several types of thigh lift, such as :

  • Internal thigh lift: involves the inner or medial side, with an incision from the groin to the back of the thighs or knees.
  • External thigh lift: bilateral lift that extends from the groin to the hip or lower back.
  • Mini-facelift: involves a single incision in the groin area.
  • Vertical lift: treats an important excess of fatty deposits with very extensive incisions.
  • Thigh lift combined with liposuction: recommended in cases of lack of skin elasticity.
