Thigh Lift
A thigh lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat to improve the shape and firmness of the thighs.
What Is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift is a surgical procedure designed to improve the contour of the thighs by removing excess skin and reshaping the underlying tissue.
Patients often consider thigh lift surgery after weight loss, aging, or changes in skin elasticity that leave the inner or outer thighs with loose, sagging skin. While exercise can strengthen and tone the legs, it cannot always tighten stretched skin.
A thigh lift helps create a smoother, firmer thigh contour and may improve comfort in clothing and movement. Depending on the patient’s goals, the procedure may focus on the inner thighs, outer thighs, or a more comprehensive reshaping plan. Liposuction may also be included when excess fat is present.
How Surgery Works
Incisions are placed strategically to allow removal of excess skin and reshaping of the thigh contour. Liposuction may be incorporated when needed to further refine shape and improve overall proportions.
The approach is customized based on whether the primary concern is inner thigh laxity, outer thigh laxity, or a combination.
Recovery and Results
Following surgery, patients typically wear compression garments to reduce swelling and support healing. Activity is limited during early recovery, and strenuous exercise is restricted until cleared.
Most patients need several weeks of healing before returning to full activity. Results are long lasting when weight remains stable and post operative instructions are followed closely.
