Thigh Lift in Boulder

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

A thighplasty, commonly known as a thigh lift, is a surgical procedure designed to lift and tighten loose skin, dramatically improving the contour of the thigh and buttock area. Mile High Plastic Surgery specializes in personalized body contouring techniques tailored to each patient's unique aesthetic goals.

Who is an Ideal Candidate for a Thigh Lift?

Ideal candidates for a thigh lift typically:

• Are in good overall health
• Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
• Exhibit decreased skin elasticity in thigh, hip, or buttock areas
• Experience skin sagging or dimpled appearance

Important Candidacy Considerations

Patients should understand that a thigh lift is not a weight loss procedure or substitute for proper diet and exercise. Smoking can significantly impact surgical candidacy and healing potential.
