Thigh Lift in Turkey: Sculpted Legs, Renewed Confidence
Sagging skin and stubborn fat in the inner or outer thighs can be difficult to eliminate through exercise alone. If you’ve experienced major weight loss or simply want smoother, more toned legs, a thigh lift might be the perfect solution. In Istanbul, Dr. Halil Ibrahim Gökçek offers advanced thigh lift procedures that dramatically enhance leg contours with minimal scarring and fast recovery.
What Is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lifting, also known as thighplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the thighs. The goal is to improve leg shape and firmness. Unlike liposuction, which only removes fat, a thigh lift also addresses loose, saggy skin — particularly common after massive weight loss or due to aging.
According to information from Mayo Clinic and Wikipedia, thigh lift surgery is considered safe and effective when performed by a qualified surgeon.
Why Choose Dr. Halil Ibrahim Gökçek?
Dr. Halil Ibrahim Gökçek has extensive experience in reshaping the lower body. His approach to thigh lift surgery is highly customized, ensuring that the results fit naturally with your body’s overall proportions. Furthermore, he uses advanced surgical techniques to reduce scarring and speed up recovery.
Key Reasons to Choose Dr. Gökçek:
- Customized planning based on body type and skin quality
- Minimal visible scars through precise incision placement
- Option to combine with liposuction for enhanced contouring

Types of Thigh Lift Procedures
There are different surgical approaches based on your needs:
- Inner Thigh Lifting: Focuses on the upper inner thighs; common after weight loss.
- Outer Thigh Lifting: Targets the hips and outer thigh area for a smoother silhouette.
- Vertical Thigh Lifting: Removes excess skin along the inner thigh down to the knee, ideal for major skin laxity.
How the Procedure Works
The procedure is done under general anesthesia and takes about 2–3 hours. Dr. Gökçek begins with carefully planned incisions, removes excess skin and fat, then lifts and repositions the remaining tissue. The area is then closed with fine sutures for optimal healing.
- Step 1: Consultation and body assessment
- Step 2: Incisions made in groin crease or down inner thigh
- Step 3: Excess skin and fat removed, with liposuction if needed
- Step 4: Skin tightening and incision closure
Thigh Lift vs. Thigh Liposuction
While both procedures improve the contour of the thighs, they are not interchangeable. Here’s a side-by-side comparison:

|---|---|---|
| Removes Skin | Yes | No |
| Removes Fat | Yes (if combined) | Yes |
| Scarring | Yes, hidden in folds | Minimal |
| Best For | Saggy or loose skin | Localized fat with tight skin |
