Thigh Lift

What is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift may be performed to remove the unsightly excess skin of the inner thighs that may be the result of weight loss, age, or heredity. Thigh and lower body lift procedures remove excess fat, and tighten and trim loose, hanging skin.

During your initial consultation your desires and expectations for surgery will be thoroughly discussed. An extensive examination of the skin, soft tissue and muscles of the lower trunk and extremities will take place. We will also carefully review with you the procedure or combination of procedures that suit you best.

How is an Inner Thigh Lift performed?"

The inner thigh lift procedure (medial thigh lift) is performed with incisions in the groin creases. Excess fat is removed with lipoplasty (liposuction), and the excess skin is trimmed and redraped. Connections of the skin to the underlying muscles are released to allow elevation, tightening, and trimming of excess skin. The medial thigh lift procedure takes between two and three hours, and is performed in a fully accredited surgical center on an outpatient basis.

A compressive garment is worn for two weeks following surgery. Small drain tubes are placed during surgery, and will be removed between the third and seventh day. With few exceptions, all sutures placed are dissolvable and no suture removal is usually necessary. Recovery time following medial thigh lift is about one to two weeks.
