Thigh Lift (Thighplasty)

Thigh Lift

Following weight loss, the thigh skin becomes loose and saggy and the only option for improvement is with a surgical thigh lift.  Thighplasty is a contouring procedure that reshapes the thighs by removing fat and excess skin. 

  • Excess skin in the thigh areas will be reduced and reshaped, resulting in a more proportionate and smoother lower extremity contour.
  • Can help to reduce rubbing of the thighs and irritation caused by excess tissue.
  • Some patients may qualify for a minimal incision medial thigh lift.
  • Requires general anesthesia.
  • Expect 2 weeks out of work and 6-8 weeks to full recovery.
