Thigh Lift (Thighplasty)

---

A thigh lift (thighplasty) is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the thighs, creating a smoother, firmer, and more sculpted leg contour. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have loose, sagging skin due to aging, weight loss, or genetics and want to achieve a more toned and proportionate appearance.

A thigh lift can be combined with liposuction for enhanced contouring and more defined, youthful-looking legs.

A thigh lift is ideal for individuals who:
✔ Have loose, sagging skin on the inner or outer thighs
✔ Experience chafing or discomfort due to excess skin
✔ Have stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise
✔ Have lost significant weight and want to improve leg contours
✔ Are in good overall health and maintain a stable weight
✔ Have realistic expectations about the procedure and recovery

During your consultation, we will evaluate your skin elasticity, fat distribution, and overall aesthetic goals to determine the best approach for your thigh lift.

There are different thigh lift techniques depending on the severity of skin laxity and the desired results:

• Best for moderate to severe sagging on the inner thighs.
• An incision is made along the inner thigh, removing excess skin and fat.
• Creates a tighter, more contoured appearance.

• Ideal for mild skin laxity on the upper inner thighs.
• A small incision hidden in the groin removes excess skin.
• Results in subtle tightening with minimal scarring.

• Targets excess skin and sagging on the outer thighs.
• Incisions extend from the groin to the hip, allowing for significant reshaping.
• Often combined with a tummy tuck or lower body lift for full-body contouring.

• Addresses loose skin on the front, back, inner, and outer thighs.
• Ideal for massive weight loss patients who need a more comprehensive lift.
• Provides dramatic improvements in overall leg contour.

• Often combined with a thigh lift to remove stubborn fat deposits for better contouring.
• Ideal for patients who have excess fat and mild skin laxity.

A thigh lift is performed under general anesthesia and takes 2-4 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure.

• First 1-2 weeks – Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common. Patients will need to limit movement and avoid strenuous activities.
• 2-4 weeks – Light activities can resume, and swelling begins to subside.
• 4-6 weeks – Most patients can return to normal activities, including moderate exercise.
• 3-6 months – Final results become visible as swelling fully resolves and the skin adjusts.

Patients will need to wear compression garments for several weeks to support healing and enhance contouring results.

✔ Removes excess skin and tightens loose areas
✔ Enhances leg shape and overall body proportions
✔ Improves comfort and reduces chafing
✔ Creates smoother, more youthful-looking thighs
✔ Boosts confidence in fitted clothing and swimwear

A thigh lift provides long-lasting results, but maintaining a healthy weight and active lifestyle is key to preserving your new contours. While the natural aging process continues, the improvements made through surgery can last many years with proper care.
