Transform your leg contours with thigh lift surgery that removes excess skin and fat for smoother, firmer thighs and improved body proportions.
A thigh lift, medically known as thighplasty, is a body contouring procedure designed to remove excess sagging skin and fat from the inner and/or outer thighs, creating smoother, more toned leg contours and improved body proportions.
Advanced thigh lift techniques are available including medial thigh lifts (inner thighs) and lateral thigh lifts (outer thighs). Whether dealing with excess skin from aging, massive weight loss, or genetics, thighplasty can restore firmer, more youthful-looking thighs.
During a consultation, thigh anatomy is assessed, aesthetic goals are discussed, and the most appropriate surgical approach is recommended to achieve natural-looking, proportionate results while minimizing visible scarring.
Eliminate sagging, loose skin from inner and outer thighs for a firmer, more toned appearance.
Achieve smooth, well-defined thigh contours that complement your overall body shape.
Feel more confident wearing shorts, swimwear, and fitted clothing without self-consciousness.
Restore balanced, proportionate leg contours that harmonize with your body frame.
Eliminate uncomfortable skin rubbing and chafing between thighs during walking or exercise.
Surgically removed fat cells do not regenerate, providing long-lasting body contouring results.
Thigh lift surgery may be right for you if you meet the following criteria:
You are in good overall health with no serious medical conditions that impair healing
You have realistic expectations about the outcomes of thighplasty
You have significant excess skin on the inner or outer thighs that does not improve with exercise
You are at or near your ideal body weight and have maintained stable weight
You have completed major weight loss and your weight has stabilized
You are a non-smoker or willing to quit smoking before and after surgery
You experience discomfort from chafing or skin rubbing between thighs
You are committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle and stable weight after surgery
A medial thigh lift addresses the inner thighs with an incision along the groin crease, removing excess skin from the upper inner thigh area. A lateral thigh lift addresses the outer thighs and hips with an incision around the hip area, removing excess skin from the outer thigh and buttock junction. your surgeon may recommend one or both approaches based on your anatomy and goals.
Yes, thigh lift surgery results in permanent scars. For medial thigh lifts, scars are typically hidden in the groin crease where they are less visible. For lateral thigh lifts, scars are positioned around the hip area where they can be concealed by underwear or swimwear. Scars are initially pink or red but fade significantly over time. Following scar care instructions helps minimize their appearance.
Yes, liposuction is often combined with thigh lift surgery to remove excess fat and enhance thigh contouring. This combination can provide more dramatic results, especially if you have both excess skin and stubborn fat deposits in the thigh area. your surgeon will determine if liposuction is appropriate during your consultation.
Thigh lift results are long-lasting, but significant weight gain can stretch the skin and affect your results. Maintaining a stable weight through healthy diet and exercise is essential to preserving your thigh contours. Minor weight fluctuations (5-10 pounds) typically do not impact results significantly.
