Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

Life's transformations can result in unwanted excess skin and fat in the lower body. A surgical thigh lift, or thighplasty, effectively improves areas of sagging in the inner and outer thigh region, restoring a more pleasing body contour.

Why Consider a Thigh Lift?

Fatty deposits on inner and outer thighs often resist diet and exercise. Many patients become discouraged after losing weight without seeing significant changes in their lower body's proportions. A thigh lift can successfully trim excess fat, skin, and tissue to achieve a more attractive body balance and symmetry.

Thigh Lift Procedure Details

Candidate Qualifications

The ideal thigh lift candidate is at a healthy, stable weight with realistic expectations. Elite Plastic Surgery prefers non-smoking patients without health conditions that might complicate healing or increase infection risks.

Procedure Techniques

Inner Thigh Lift: Targets sagging skin in the inner leg region
Outer Thigh Lift: Addresses tissue along the outer thigh and hip area
Potential combination with liposuction for enhanced contouring

Potential Procedure Outcomes

A thigh lift can comprehensively address the upper leg's entire circumference, from buttocks to knees. Surgeons can remove loose skin, reduce cellulite appearance, and create a more toned, streamlined lower body profile.

Recovery and Results

Results typically last five to ten years, depending on maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Initial recovery involves limited activity, with gradual return to exercise under surgical guidance.
