About Thigh Lift Procedure

A thigh lift reshapes and tightens the inner thighs by pulling the inner thigh upward and inward and removing excess skin. It is sometimes combined with inner thigh liposuction if there is also fat that needs to be removed to create a better shape.

Liposuction in this thigh area only reduces the pinch of fat under the skin – it does not tighten or pull the skin. Many patients who seek a thigh lift have had significant weight loss resulting in excess skin. Some patients had excess inner thigh skin after over-aggressive liposuction in the past.

The extent of the surgery varies greatly with the patient’s anatomy. During your consultation, our surgeon consultants will assess your anatomy and develop a customized plan for your Thigh Lift

Frequently Asked Questions

Good to Know Before Thigh Lift

Patients on a weight-loss plan should be close to their goal weight before having thigh lift surgery. For best long-term results it is advisable that weight is stable after surgery (without a lot of yo-yo-ing up and down). As we’ve mentioned before, plastic surgery is not an exact science. Every person has a unique anatomy and their own idea of what their body goals should be. This is why consultations are vital so we can work together to create the best possible plan, customized for your personal needs and goals.

What Happens During Procedure

In the pre-op area, we will mark you with a surgical pen so you will know exactly where the incision will be made. The front part of the incision is hidden in the groin crease and then a vertical part is made down the thigh. We hide the incision just slightly behind the midline so it is barely visible when looking from the front and the back. How long the incision travels down your leg depends on how much skin needs to be removed.

For your comfort and safety, the thigh lift will be performed under general anesthesia. We believe that every part of the surgical team is essential to having a perfect and smooth surgery, so every part of SYN PLASTICS & AESTHETICS extended team is focused during surgery and pays attention to every detail. We will all ensure that as you enter the operating room and are gently placed under anesthesia you will feel relaxed, calm, and excited.

Results & Recovery: What to Expect

We have developed a gentle technique that has minimal pain and a quick recovery. You will spend the first night at a plastic surgery after-care facility with nursing. They will pick you up from the SYN PLASTICS & AESTHETICS. After surgery, your thighs will feel tight but should not be painful. If you do have discomfort, Tylenol is usually all that’s needed. We will give you a prescription for a few pain pills to have in case you need them, but they are usually not necessary.
