About Thigh Lift Surgery
Achieve a Smoother Inner Thigh
A thigh lift addresses excess loose skin and fat in the upper medial thighs, providing a smoother, more contoured appearance. This procedure is especially beneficial for patients who have experienced significant weight loss, weight fluctuations, or have loose thigh skin due to age and genetics.
Why Consider a Thigh Lift?
For patients who have a significant amount of excess skin in their upper in thighs, this procedure can help them to better fit in clothes and improve the discomfort that comes with excess skin in this area. A thigh lift can help you feel more confident and comfortable in your own skin.
The Benefits:
Enhanced Appearance: Improves the contour and appearance of the thighs.
Boosted Confidence: Allows you to wear fitted clothing with confidence.
Improved Comfort: Reduces discomfort and irritation caused by excess skin.
What to Expect
Consultation: We will discuss your goals and determine the best approach for your thigh lift.
Procedure: The surgery involves a long incision on the inner thigh from the groin to just above the knee. This incision is used to remove excess skin and fat. Often, SAFELiposuction is used in conjunction with the skin excision to achieve optimal thigh contour.
Recovery: Your legs will feel tight and swollen for 2-3 weeks. You will need to wear a compression garment on your legs for 4 weeks to aid in healing and help decrease swelling.

Thigh Lift FAQs

Recovery is the most challenging part of this surgery. Your legs will feel tight and swollen for 2-3 weeks. You will need to wear a compression garment on your legs for 4 weeks after surgery. You will likely have drains to help remove excess fluid after surgery.
-
The incisions for a thigh lift are strategically placed on the inner thigh, extending from the groin crease to just above the knee.
-
Scars take a full year to mature. I recommend diligent sun protection and the use of silicone gel or strips to help improve the scar's appearance. Occasionally, steroid injections, laser treatments, or microneedling can be used to treat thick or red scars.
