Thigh Lift

Battling loose, chafing thigh skin that no diet or squat routine fixes? A thigh lift removes excess skin and sculpts firmer inner or outer thighs, helping you walk, exercise, and wear shorts with confidence in as little as six weeks.

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 “bat wings” persist despite diet, exercise, or liposuction alone.

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.
