What is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift is a surgical procedure that reshapes and tones the thighs by removing excess skin and fat. This treatment is ideal for individuals with sagging skin due to weight loss or aging and addresses issues such as loose tissue or a lack of thigh definition. During the procedure, excess skin is removed, the underlying tissues are tightened, and liposuction may be carried out for enhanced contouring. Thigh lifts provide patients with a firmer, more sculpted appearance in the thighs. While it is not a weight-loss solution, this surgery offers transformative results, boosting confidence and restoring a more youthful thigh contour.

What does the Procedure Entail?

Consultation

As with any surgical procedure at our office, a thigh lift begins with an informative consultation and full assessment of the patient’s current condition. During this meeting, patients have the opportunity to discuss their cosmetic goals in-depth and learn more about what the procedure will involve. All of the benefits of the thigh lift will be covered in detail, giving patients a clear idea of what it will actually involve. 

Based on your unique physical attributes and cosmetic goals, Dr. Hyman will recommend either an inner or outer thigh lift. He will provide detailed explanations of each technique, outlining their unique advantages. Patients will also be informed about how to navigate the recovery process. 

Day of procedure

The procedure is usually conducted under general anesthesia. A thigh lift procedure typically lasts two to three hours, during which Dr. Hyman makes precise incisions to remove excess fat and trim unnecessary tissue based on the patient’s personalized treatment plan. After completing the procedure, Dr. Hyman closes the incisions to ensure a positive healing process. After a brief stay in the recovery area, patients are able to return home to begin their recovery period.
