Thigh Lift

What Is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift—also called thighplasty—excises sagging skin and residual fat from the inner and/or outer thighs after major weight loss, aging, or genetics.

Your surgeon places discreet incisions in the groin crease or down the inner thigh, tightens supportive tissue, and contours for a smooth, toned silhouette. Most patients resume desk work in 10–14 days and full workouts around week six.

Ideal for: Adults near goal weight whose loose inner or outer thigh skin persists despite diet, exercise, or liposuction alone.

How a Thigh Lift Works

  1. Prep & anesthesia

    Outpatient procedure under general anesthesia with a board-certified anesthesiologist.

  2. Strategic incisions

    along the groin or inner thigh, excess skin removed, and deep tissue tightened.

  3. 2- to 3-hour surgery

    followed by compression garment and possible drains for 2–3 days.

  4. Recovery milestones

    Shower day two, light walking day three, compression for 4–6 weeks, doctor-guided follow-up at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 12 months.

FAQs - Thigh Lift

How much does a thigh lift cost?
Starts at $12,900 and includes your board-certified surgeon, private surgical suite, compression garment, and 12-month doctor-guided follow-up. With approved credit, payments can be as low as $225–$365 per month after a typical deposit. Exact quote after exam; individual needs vary.
Can I go home the same day?
Yes. You’ll relax in recovery for about 90 minutes; an adult must drive you home and stay the first night.
Will I need special after-care?
Wear your compression garment 24/7 for three weeks, elevate legs when resting, and keep incisions clean and dry. We’ll guide scar-care and activity progression.
Are there alternative procedures or add-ons?
Mild laxity may respond to BodyTite® RF tightening, Renuvion and Lipoplasty, or liposuction alone; many patients combine a thigh lift with tummy tuck or buttock lift for proportional contours.
How noticeable are the scars?
Incisions hide in the groin crease or inner thigh. With silicone sheets, sunscreen, and optional laser therapy, scars usually fade to thin, pale lines within 12–18 months.
Is the surgery painful?
Expect soreness and tightness controlled by prescription medication for 3–4 days, then over-the-counter pain relievers.
When can I return to exercise?
Light walking begins day three; most resume cardio at week four and lower-body strength training around week six, pending clearance.
