Understanding Thigh Lift Procedures

Whether due to weight loss, heredity, or aging, muscle tissue in the thighs can become lax and weak, resulting in sagging skin. A thigh lift restores a taut, youthful contour in the thigh area at Dermatology + Plastic Surgery.

How Can a Thigh Lift Improve Your Appearance?

A thigh lift safely eliminates loose skin and removes fatty bulges, creating a toned, firm, and streamlined contour with improved muscle tightness and definition. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing:

• Significant weight loss
• Reduced muscle tone in thighs
• Accumulated loose or hanging skin

Thigh Lift Surgical Procedure

The thigh lift is a surgical procedure performed under general anesthesia. It involves:

• Incision along the inner thigh
• Removal of excess fat and skin
• Tightening of remaining skin for a defined contour
• Optional combination with liposuction for precise contouring

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift

A thigh lift is ideal for healthy adults who have:

• Achieved a stable weight
• Desire to eliminate loose skin folds
• Want to reduce fatty bulges on inner or outer thighs

Post-Procedure Recovery and Expectations

After a thigh lift, patients can expect:

• Initial soreness for several days
• Four-week compression garment wear
• Fine, camouflaged hairline scars
• 3-4 week pause on regular physical activities

Procedure Costs and Financing
