Thigh Lift surgery aims to tighten and reshape sagging or loose skin around the thighs, and may help reduce excess fat or bulges of the inner or outer thigh.

​

Thigh lift may help patients that are having trouble reshaping their thighs despite diet and exercise or if they have lost a significant amount of weight and wish to reduce excess sagging skin.

​

Treating the outer thigh typically requires an incision from the natural lower crease of the buttocks extending forward, hidden under a modest bikini brief

​

Treating the inner thigh requires an incision in the natural groin crease area that may extend downward along the inner most aspect of the thigh.

​

 If liposuction is indicated as an additional procedure, this can be accomplished without further incisions.

Thigh lift surgery is done in an outpatient setting under general anesthesia. A thigh lift may require an overnight stay when combined with other procedures.

​

Recovery depends on the extent of your procedure. We encourage patients to walk around the home starting the day after your surgery; a return to more normal activity may take 2-3 weeks.

​

A compression garment may be recommended during your recovery to help reduce fluid retention and shape your new curves.

​

Results may be long-term, but weight loss/gain or pregnancy may alter your appearance.
