Thigh Lift Surgery in Miami, FL

Introduction to Thigh Lift Surgery

After significant weight loss or pregnancy, many patients are left with excess skin, cellulite, and fat deposits on their thighs. A thigh lift performed by Dr. Michael Keyes at Celebrity Plastics in Miami can restore smoother, more toned contours to your legs. This procedure removes excess skin and fat to reshape the thighs for a firmer, more youthful appearance.

What is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift surgically reshapes the thighs by reducing excess skin and fat, resulting in smoother skin and better-proportioned contours of the thighs and lower body. It is ideal for patients who have achieved significant weight loss but are left with sagging skin. Thigh lifts are not intended solely for fat removal - liposuction may be combined with a lift for optimal results.

Types of Thigh Lifts

Mini-Thigh Lift

Targets sagging in the upper inner thigh through a small groin incision. Best for patients with minimal excess skin.

Inner/Medial Thigh Lift

Removes excess skin and fat from the inner thigh through an incision from the groin to the knee. Ideal after major weight loss.

Vertical Thigh Lift

Treats the entire thigh circumference through a longer incision. Recommended for patients with extensive excess skin.

Outer/Lateral Thigh Lift

Addresses the outer thighs, hips and buttocks through an incision around the waist.

Posterior Thigh Lift

Targets the back of the thighs and buttocks to reduce cellulite and sagging.

Benefits of a Thigh Lift

• Toned, slimmer thighs
