Treatment

Thigh Lift

Reshape and firm the inner and outer thighs

Overview

A thigh lift (thighplasty) removes excess skin and fat from the inner or outer thighs to create a smoother, firmer thigh contour. It is particularly effective for patients who have experienced significant weight loss and are left with loose, hanging thigh skin that causes discomfort and affects clothing fit.

How It Works

For an inner thigh lift, incisions are placed in the groin crease and may extend down the inner thigh. For an outer thigh lift, incisions are placed at the hip. Excess skin is removed, underlying tissue is tightened, and liposuction may be incorporated. The procedure takes 2–3 hours under general anesthesia.

What to Expect

Consultation includes assessment of skin laxity, fat distribution, and your goals. We discuss whether an inner thigh lift, outer thigh lift, or combination approach best addresses your concerns. Surgery is performed at an accredited facility.

Recovery

Return to light activity within 2 weeks. Avoid strenuous activity for 4–6 weeks. A compression garment is worn for 6 weeks. Swelling resolves over 3–6 months.
