Mr Reza Nassab performs thigh lift (thigh reduction) surgery in Manchester for adults with loose, sagging inner thigh skin, often after significant weight loss. Consultations are held at CLNQ, Deansgate Square, and surgery takes place at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre. Thigh reduction costs from £12,000. Follow-up is arranged in Manchester for patients from across Greater Manchester and the North West.
What a thigh lift involves
A thigh lift removes excess skin and some fat from the inner thighs and tightens the remaining tissues. An inner (medial) thigh lift uses an incision in the groin crease and suits laxity concentrated at the upper thigh. Where loose skin extends towards the knee, a vertical extension along the inner thigh may be needed. Liposuction is often combined to refine the contour. The operation is performed under general anaesthetic and usually takes a few hours. Further detail is on the thigh lift page.
Who comes for a thigh lift in Manchester?
Many patients have lost a large amount of weight, through lifestyle changes, weight-loss surgery or weight-loss medication, and are left with folds of skin that chafe, cause rashes and make clothing and exercise uncomfortable. Others have age-related laxity. Suitable candidates are adults at a stable weight for some months, non-smokers or willing to stop, in good general health and comfortable with the trade-off of a permanent scar for improved shape and comfort.
Your consultation at CLNQ, Deansgate Square
Your first appointment takes place at CLNQ, Deansgate Square, Manchester, and costs £150, charged separately from surgery. Mr Nassab will discuss your weight history, general health and what concerns you most, then examine the thighs to assess skin quality, the amount and location of excess skin, and fat distribution. He will explain whether a groin-only lift, a vertical thigh lift or liposuction alone is likely to suit you, show where the scars would lie, and talk through recovery. Consultations are also available at CLNQ in Knutsford.
Surgery day at Deansgate Hospital
On the day of surgery, you will be admitted to Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre. Mr Nassab will review your consent and mark the incisions with you standing, and you will meet your consultant anaesthetist. After surgery you will wake with dressings and a compression garment, and possibly small drains. Many patients stay overnight so that pain relief and mobility can be managed and wounds checked before discharge. You will need someone to take you home and to help for the first few days.
Follow-up and aftercare in Manchester
Wound healing after a thigh lift needs close monitoring, so follow-up is arranged in Manchester, typically within the first week and then at regular intervals over the following months. Dressing checks, drain removal and garment advice are provided by the team. Being able to return locally is valuable for patients from Salford, Stockport, Oldham, Bury, Wigan and further across the North West, particularly if a small wound needs regular dressing. Our thigh lift recovery guide explains what to expect week by week.
Preparing for surgery
Good preparation makes recovery smoother. Aim to be at a stable weight, stop smoking and nicotine products at least six weeks before and after surgery, and tell Mr Nassab about all medicines and supplements, as some may need pausing on medical advice. Arrange for someone to help at home for the first week, prepare loose clothing and a firm, upright chair, and plan time off work. Patients who have had weight-loss surgery may be asked for recent blood tests to check nutrition, since healing depends on good protein and iron levels.
Risks to understand
A thigh lift is major surgery. Risks include wound separation in the groin, scars that widen or move, seroma, leg swelling, numbness, asymmetry, bleeding, infection and blood clots. Mr Nassab will explain how each is reduced, including stopping smoking, early walking and compression. Read more in our guide to thigh lift risks.
