What a Thigh Lift Can Improve

  • Loose or hanging skin of inner/outer thighs
  • Post-weight-loss laxity and chafing
  • Skin surface irregularities and stubborn fat pockets

Who’s a Candidate?

  • Healthy, at a stable weight, with realistic expectations
  • Significant laxity that exercise alone can’t address
  • Seeking post-bariatric body contour refinement

For mild laxity or mainly fat, liposuction may be discussed as part of your treatment plan.

Incision & Technique Options

Inner Thigh Lift

  • Shorter incision in the groin crease
  • Tightens inner thigh skin
  • Can add liposuction for shaping

Outer/Posterior Lift

  • Incision from groin toward buttock crease
  • Addresses outer thigh & hip laxity
  • Often part of post-weight-loss plans

Scars are placed as discreetly as possible and typically fade over time with proper care.

What to Expect

Consultation
Exam, photos, and a custom plan—inner, outer, or combined lift, and whether to add liposuction.
Procedure
General anesthesia; duration varies by technique. Excess skin removed and tissues tightened.
Early Recovery
Compression garment, short walks, limited leg strain. Expect bruising/swelling for ~2 weeks.
Results
Smoother leg contour visible early; refinement continues over 4–6 months as swelling subsides.

Thigh Lift FAQs

How much does a thigh lift cost?

Costs vary by technique and whether you combine procedures. Industry averages are ~\$5,000 for surgery alone; anesthesia and facility fees are additional. We’ll provide a personalized quote and financing options at consultation.

Is a thigh lift painful?

You’ll be comfortable during surgery (general anesthesia). Post-op soreness and tightness are expected and managed with medications, compression, and activity guidelines.

How long is recovery?

Plan 7–10 days off work depending on your job. Avoid strenuous exercise ~6 weeks; we’ll tailor your return-to-activity timeline.

Will I see scars?

Yes—any incision leaves a scar. We place incisions discreetly (groin/buttock creases) and guide you on scar care to help them fade over time.
