Thigh Lift – Thighplasty

The Thigh Lift, also known as Thighplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that can be performed to tighten and improve the appearance of the thighs. It can be done alone or in conjunction with other procedures such as a tummy tuck or liposuction.

The thigh lift is ideal for patients who have loose, saggy skin on their thighs due to weight loss or aging. The surgery can help to improve the contour of the thighs and give them a more youthful appearance. Thigh lift surgery can be performed on both men and women.

Who is a good candidate for a Thigh Lift Surgery?

• Patients who are at a stable weight for at least six months and are at their ideal weight
• Patients who have loose, saggy skin on their thighs
• Patients who have good skin elasticity
• Patients who have realistic expectations for the results of surgery

What I should expect during my consultation for Thigh Lift Surgery?

You should discuss your goals and expectations with your plastic surgeon. Your plastic surgeon will evaluate your general health, any existing health issues, and risk factors if associated with a medical history.  The plastic surgeon will also perform a physical examination of your thighs and will measure your body.  Photographs can be taken for your medical record. The surgeon will also discuss surgery options for your goals and expectations for surgery. He or she will determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. You will be brief about your customized treatment plan and the likely outcome of the procedure.  Our plastic surgeon will educate you on the recovery process and any risks or complications associated with thigh lift surgery.

Types of Thigh Lift Procedures

The surgeon may apply different techniques to fix loose skin on someone’s thigh depending upon the problematic area of saggy skin. Following are the three most common techniques for Thighplasty:

Inner Thigh Lift:

An incision is made in the groin and extends along the inside of the thigh. The excess skin is removed, and the incisions are closed with stitches. The inner thigh lift is ideal for patients who have loose, saggy skin on their inner thighs due to weight loss or aging. The surgery can help to improve the contour of the thighs and give them a more youthful appearance.

Outer or Bilateral Thigh Lift:

A bilateral thigh lift is a plastic surgery procedure that focuses on the outer and front areas of the thighs. This method effectively contours the outer thigh and tightens the skin along both sides of the legs. The incision is created at the top of the leg, at the lower edge of the bikini line. The excess skin is removed before the remaining skin is lifted and attached to the same area. This approach is most often used for patients who have undergone bariatric surgery.

Medial Thigh Lift:

A medial thigh lift is a surgery to remove extra skin from the upper part of the thigh, between the hip and groin area. The surgeon will make a cut along the pelvic area to the crease of the buttock and then remove the extra skin and fat. The remaining skin will be tightened and the incision will be closed with sutures. In some cases, a mini thigh lift may be done, which only requires a small cut in the groin area.

Before & After Results

Since your legs will be swollen and bruised, you may not be able to see the final results of your procedure immediately. It may take a couple of months to see the final results but they will be long-lasting if you don’t follow a proper diet and exercise regularly. Please note that results may vary from person to person.

Thigh Lift Recovery

Most thigh lift surgeries are performed on an outpatient basis, which means you can go home the same day as your procedure. Recovery times vary from patient to patient, but you can expect to feel some soreness and bruising for the first few days after surgery. You will likely need to take pain medication for the first few days, and you will need to wear compression garments to help with the swelling. Most patients can return to work and other normal activities within a week or two, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least six weeks.
