Aging, weight loss, and genetics can cause sagging skin and excess fat on the thighs. A thigh lift can help reshape and contour your legs, providing a more toned and youthful appearance.
At Advanced Plastic Surgery Center, our board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in personalized thigh lift procedures to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
What is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift, also known as thighplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the thighs to create a smoother, firmer contour. This procedure is ideal for those looking to improve the shape of their legs and reduce skin laxity that cannot be corrected with diet and exercise alone.
Am I a Candidate for a Thigh Lift?
You may be a good candidate for a thigh lift if you:
- Have sagging or loose skin on your thighs due to aging or weight loss.
- Are at a stable weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
- Do not smoke or are willing to quit before surgery.
- Have realistic expectations about the results.

The procedure typically lasts 3 hours and involves:
- Anesthesia – Administered for comfort during surgery.
- Incisions – Made along the inner thigh, groin, or outer thigh, depending on the treatment plan.
- Tissue Removal & Tightening – Excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining skin is tightened.
- Closing the Incisions – Sutures are used to secure the newly contoured shape.
What Can I Expect from the Results?
After a thigh lift, patients can expect:

Recovery from a thigh lift varies, but generally:
- First Few Days: Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common.
- 1-2 Weeks: Light activities can resume; compression garments help minimize swelling.
- 4-6 Weeks: Strenuous activities and exercises can be gradually reintroduced.
