Thigh Lift in Bryn Mawr, PA | Main Line Plastic Surgery

What is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess skin and reshape the thighs. The surgery targets areas with sagging skin, reducing size and improving overall body contours. Typically performed in 2-4 hours, this procedure can be combined with other body contouring treatments to address multiple aesthetic concerns.

Types of Thigh Lift Procedures

Mini Thigh Lift

The least invasive option, focusing on upper and inner thigh regions. Ideal for patients with mild skin laxity requiring minimal skin removal.

Medial (Inner) Thigh Lift

Specifically targets the upper and middle inner thigh area. An incision is made at the groin crease and extended to the knee, allowing surgeons to remove excess skin and tighten underlying muscles.

Outer (Bilateral) Thigh Lift

Removes unwanted skin and fat from outer thigh regions. The incision extends from the groin to hip and lower back, helping reshape hip and buttock contours.

Spiral Thigh Lift

A comprehensive approach removing moderate skin amounts from multiple thigh areas: inner, outer, front, and back regions. The incision strategically starts at the groin and circumnavigates the thigh.

Full Thigh Lift

Provides comprehensive thigh improvement, particularly beneficial for patients with significant skin laxity after major weight loss. Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.
