Thigh Lift Surgery in Carlsbad, CA

Restore Youthful, Sculpted Thighs

Significant weight loss, aging, and other factors can lead to sagging skin and tissues in the thighs. The thin, inelastic nature of thigh skin often makes liposuction alone insufficient for achieving optimal aesthetic results. Dr. Gehaan D'Souza offers thigh lift surgery to remove excess skin and reduce sagging in the inner or outer thighs, creating beautifully sculpted legs.

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift

Thigh lift surgery may be appropriate for patients who:

• Have achieved significant weight loss
• Maintain a stable weight
• Have excess skin and tissue in the thighs
• Hold realistic expectations for the procedure

Dr. D'Souza may recommend liposuction prior to a thigh lift for patients with large amounts of fatty tissue in the thighs.

The Thigh Lift Procedure

Thigh lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2-4 hours. The procedure involves:

• Making incisions within the groin crease
• Removing excess skin and tissue
• Tightening remaining tissues and muscles
• Closing incisions with sutures
• Placing surgical drains for about one week post-surgery

Inner thigh lifts address laxity in the upper inner thigh, while outer thigh lifts are often performed in conjunction with body lifts or tummy tucks.

Recovery and Results

Patients can typically return to regular activities within 2-4 weeks post-surgery. Light walks are encouraged to promote circulation. While initial improvements are visible immediately, final results may take up to a year to fully develop as swelling subsides. With a healthy lifestyle, thigh lift results can last for years.

Thigh Lift Cost

The cost of thigh lift surgery varies based on the extent of the procedure and individual factors. Dr. D'Souza provides detailed cost estimates during consultations.
