Thigh Lift
A thigh lift removes the loose skin from the inner or outer thighs that develops after significant weight loss or with age. The result is a smoother, tighter contour from the groin to the knee.
What to expect with your thigh lift.
A thigh lift removes excess skin and, where needed, underlying fat from the inner or outer thighs. The inner thigh is the more common area: skin that rubs, hangs, or limits how clothing fits. The outer thigh can also be addressed when there is significant skin laxity that extends down from the hip and buttock area.
The scope of the procedure depends on how much skin needs to be removed. If the excess tissue is in the upper portion of the thigh and the scar stays hidden in the groin area, a thigh lift can often be combined with other procedures in a single surgery. If the excess skin extends further toward the knee, a longer scar is required and I typically stage that procedure separately to manage recovery safely.
For many patients seeking post-weight loss body contouring, the thigh lift is usually staged after the abdomen and other areas have been addressed, once the body has had time to stabilize and heal.
