Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
Thigh Lift and Leg Contouring
A thigh lift addresses localised fat, skin laxity and excess skin, particularly on the inner thighs, that may develop with ageing or after weight loss. Suitability is assessed individually, taking account of general health, weight stability and the extent of laxity.
Thigh Skin Laxity and Thigh Lift Surgery
The incision may begin near the groin, extend between the thighs and continue towards the gluteal fold. Its position and length depend on the distribution of excess skin and the treatment plan.
The procedure may use local anaesthesia with sedation. Sensation during recovery varies. An overnight stay may be recommended, and returning to work may be possible after approximately 3–7 days.
A compression garment is worn after surgery. Strenuous activity should be avoided as advised. The result may be long-lasting, although substantial weight changes and natural ageing can affect the area.

I visited Dr. Moutsoudis’s clinic. He is an excellent doctor who explains everything about each procedure. I personally had injectable treatments on my face and was completely satisfied 🙏. I also had Dermapen with the girls, with a perfect result. Wonderful atmosphere and clinic!! Thank you!! 🙂

For me, Dr. Moutsoudis is the best plastic surgeon. We went through a procedure together, and from the beginning he told me that recovery would be difficult, while other doctors do not say these things. He was completely honest and informative from the first appointment to the last. Even after the procedure, he came to see me three times at the clinic within 12 hours, and to this day, 18 days after the procedure, he shows concern almost daily about the healing process. His phone is always on, and he answers any question I have immediately, even at weekends. He has been by my side from the first moment to the last. Above all, the doctor is a very good person and an excellent doctor!! His results speak for themselves! Of course, I could not fail to mention his impeccably trained team: all excellent professionals, very caring, knowledgeable, kind and principled! My experience at Dr. Moutsoudis’s clinic will remain unforgettable! I am grateful and recommend him without reservation!

I have no words for the doctor. Five stars are far too few. I visited the clinic a short while ago, and he explained everything to me with great patience. Very approachable and, above all, a wonderful human being!!! And the result was fantastic!!!! By far the best plastic surgeon!!
