ABOUT THE PROCEDURE
What is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the inner or outer thighs to create a smoother, more toned appearance. It is ideal for people with sagging or loose skin due to aging, weight loss, or genetics.
This procedure enhances the contours of the thighs, creating a more sculpted and youthful look. While thigh lifts don’t replace weight loss, they help eliminate areas of stubborn fat and improve skin laxity. You can choose to target inner thighs, outer thighs, or both, depending on your desired outcome.
During your free consultation, our expert surgeons will assess your needs and goals to customize a treatment plan just for you.
Inner thigh, outer thigh, or both?
A thigh lift can target different areas depending on your concerns. Your surgeon will recommend the most appropriate approach.
Inner Thigh Lift
Targets excess skin and fat along the inner thigh. Incisions are typically placed along the groin or inner thigh to remain discreet.
- Loose or sagging skin on the inner thighs
- Skin laxity caused by aging or weight loss
- Excess skin that doesn't respond to exercise
- Discomfort or chafing between the thighs
Outer Thigh Lift
Targets excess skin and fat along the outer thigh and hip area for a smoother, more defined leg contour.
- Sagging skin on the outer thighs
- Loss of contour along the outer leg
- Excess skin following significant weight loss
- A desire for more sculpted, defined thighs
A thorough consultation determines which approach is appropriate for you.
CANDIDACY
Is a thigh lift right for you?
A thigh lift can deliver firmer, smoother thighs with more defined leg contours. Many patients experience increased comfort in clothing and swimwear and a rejuvenated, youthful lower body. The procedure tightens loose skin and removes excess fat, creating a natural, flattering outcome tailored to your unique body shape. Results are long-lasting with proper maintenance.
You may be a good candidate for a thigh lift if you:
- Have loose or sagging skin on your thighs
- Are at or near your goal weight
- Maintain a healthy lifestyle
- Have realistic expectations about the results
The goal is never to sell surgery. It is to ensure any procedure recommended is safe, appropriate, and likely to deliver a meaningful result.
THE PROCEDURE
What happens during surgery?
Thigh lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2 to 3 hours. You can choose to target inner thighs, outer thighs, or both, depending on your desired outcome.
Incision and fat removal
2-3 hours
Incisions are made in discreet areas, usually along the inner thigh, groin crease, or buttock fold, to minimize visible scarring. Excess skin and underlying fat are removed to tighten the leg area.
Contouring and closure
Compression garment for 4-6 weeks
The remaining tissue is reshaped to smooth and define the thighs. Sutures are placed carefully and compression garments are applied to aid healing and reduce swelling.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Recovery and aftercare

PHASE 1
Weeks 1-2
Swelling, bruising, and some numbness are normal during the initial recovery period. You will wear a compression garment for 4 to 6 weeks to reduce swelling and support healing. Avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting. Most patients return to light activity within 2 to 3 weeks.
PHASE 2
Weeks 3-8
Swelling continues to subside. Light exercise can gradually resume. The thighs begin to settle into their new contour. Continue wearing the compression garment as directed. Scars are strategically placed in natural folds and begin to fade.
PHASE 3
Months 3-6
Final results appear after swelling fully subsides, usually within 2 to 3 months. Scars continue to fade with proper aftercare. Results are long-lasting with a healthy lifestyle and stable weight.
