Our techniques for bone grafting
We use tried-and-tested, safe surgical techniques to ensure the highest possible level of patient safety at all times. During a leg lift, the surgical technique is tailored entirely to the amount of excess tissue and loose skin on your legs.
Thigh lift
Detta är den vanligaste metoden för att utföra en benplastik. Ingreppet syftar till att effektivt ta bort överflödig hud på låren, framför allt på lårens insida. Snitten placeras med stor omsorg i det naturliga ljumskvecket för att strama upp låren på ett stabilt sätt. Vid mer omfattande lårlyft placeras ärren längst med lårens insida.
Kombinerad benplastik och fettsugning av ben
I de fall där det utöver lös hud även finns mer djupgående depåer av fett på låren, väljer vi ofta att kombinera hudreduceringen med en fettsugning av ben. Det görs för att bevara vävnadens naturliga övergångar, optimera benens konturer och hjälpa dig att bli av med fett på låren som inte svarar på träning.

Consultation prior to leg reconstruction surgery in Stockholm
The very first step in the process is a personal consultation with a plastic surgery specialist. You can choose whether to book an online initial consultation or meet us in person at our clinic in Stockholm. During the consultation, we will examine your bones, analyse your skin’s elasticity and provide you with medical information regarding risks, the expected course of treatment and current waiting times.
Following this meeting, you have a statutory cooling-off period of at least seven days so that you can make your decision in peace and quiet before giving your consent.
Leg surgery: Step by step
To ensure you feel confident and well prepared throughout your treatment journey, we have a clear and reliable process in place, from your very first visit right through to your final follow-up appointment at the clinic.
Consultation
Medical assessment and choice of method
You will meet with a plastic surgery specialist who will carry out a clinical examination of your legs and measure the amount of loose skin on your thighs. Together, you will discuss surgical techniques, and the surgeon will explain where your future scars will be located and whether liposuction is required to achieve a smooth, natural contour based on your individual circumstances.
Before your treatment
Preparing for a safe operation
Our coordinator will contact you and provide clear instructions, which include the requirement that you must completely abstain from smoking and nicotine for at least four weeks before and after the operation to ensure proper wound healing. On the evening before and on the morning of the operation, you should shower using antibacterial soap.
The day of the operation
Safe care at the clinic
När du anländer till kliniken på operationsdagen får du byta om till patientkläder och installera dig. Innan ingreppet påbörjas möter du din plastikkirurg och narkosläkare; operationsområdet ritas då upp och vi tar bilder för din journal. Själva operationen tar vanligtvis två till tre timmar och utförs under narkos i en modern och fullt utrustad operationsmiljö som möter mycket stränga säkerhetskrav.
After the operation
Awakening and initial rest
You will wake up in our specialist recovery unit, where our team will monitor you continuously. It is perfectly normal to experience significant swelling, tightness and tenderness in your legs during the first 24 hours. You will be given tailored pain relief to manage this discomfort, and depending on the extent of the operation, you will stay overnight at the clinic.
Recovery & healing
Self-care and convalescence guidelines
At home, a couple of weeks of strict rest are required. Strenuous physical exertion, heavy lifting and activities that raise your heart rate should be avoided completely so as not to interfere with wound and tissue healing. You will wear a specially fitted compression garment around the clock for the first few weeks to effectively reduce swelling. Most people can return to sedentary work after two to three weeks.
Monitoring & results
Medical check-up and final assessment
Around one to two weeks after your operation, you will see a nurse for an initial check-up to assess the healing process and the condition of the wound, and to remove any stitches. After about six months, you will be booked in for a follow-up appointment with your surgeon for a final check-up, during which we will assess the final result and take final medical photographs.

At The Faculty, we have assembled a hand-picked team of plastic surgeons, several of whom are among the most experienced in body contouring and reconstructive surgery in the Nordic region.

Who is eligible for bone grafting?
För och kunna genomgå en benplastik krävs att du är över 18 år och vid god allmänhälsa. Ingreppet är i första hand avsett för personer som har kvarstående slapp hud på låren efter en viktnedgång, graviditet eller till följd av naturliga åldersförändringar, och där din vikt har varit helt stabil under minst sex månader. Under din kirurgkonsultation görs en fullständig medicinsk bedömning av dina fysiska förutsättningar. Det är ett absolut krav att du är helt rökfri i anslutning till operationen för att minimera risken för framtida lårplastik komplikationer.

Frequently asked questions about bone grafting
Here we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions about bone grafting.
What is the difference between calf lift surgery and thigh lift surgery?
Leg lift is the general medical term for plastic surgery procedures performed to remove excess skin and tissue from the legs. In practice, this almost always refers to a thigh lift (also known as a thigh lift), as it is on the inner thighs that loose skin mainly accumulates.
How much does a leg lift cost?
The price for a thigh lift starts at 55,000 SEK. If the procedure is combined with liposuction to remove fat from the thighs, the price starts from SEK 65,000. You will always receive an exact quote following a clinical assessment during your consultation with the surgeon.
Is it possible to have liposuction on the stomach after pregnancy?
Yes, tummy tucks following pregnancy are a common procedure to address stubborn pockets of fat that have not disappeared. However, it is important to wait until the body has fully recovered and your weight has stabilised.
Is it possible to combine a thigh lift with thigh liposuction?
Yes, it is very common to combine these procedures. If a patient has residual fat deposits under the skin combined with excess skin, a combined procedure is often the most suitable option. By incorporating thigh liposuction during the same operation, the surgeon can more effectively help you get rid of fat on your thighs and create a smoother physiological transition where the skin is then tightened and removed.
