What is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift is a surgical contouring procedure that targets excess skin and fat in the upper thighs. Many patients find that even with exercise and a healthy lifestyle, the area around the thighs remains resistant to change due to aging, genetics, or significant weight loss.

Dr. Walker uses advanced techniques during the procedure to remove loose skin, reduce stubborn fat, and improve your thigh's overall tone and definition. As a result, your legs will look leaner, firmer, and more proportionate to the rest of your body.

Thigh Lift Benefits

A thigh lift can enhance your overall confidence, comfort, and mobility. Some of the many benefits of this procedure are as follows.

  • Eliminates Excess Skin - Removes loose, hanging skin that often remains after significant weight loss, creating a smoother contour.
  • Reduces Discomfort - Minimizes skin chafing and irritation between the thighs, making walking, exercising, and daily activities more comfortable.
  • Creates Firmer Thighs - Tightens and tones both inner and outer thighs for a more youthful, athletic appearance.
  • Improves Clothing Options - Enhances how clothes fit, allowing you to wear shorts, skirts, and swimwear with confidence.
  • Balances Body Proportions - Creates more harmonious contours that better complement your overall figure.
  • Offers Lasting Results - With proper weight maintenance and healthy lifestyle, results can be maintained for years.
  • Enhances Self-Image - Boosts self-esteem and body confidence, often improving social comfort and quality of life.
  • Complements Other Procedures - Can be combined with liposuction or a tummy tuck for comprehensive body contouring.
  • Increases Mobility - Makes physical activity easier and more enjoyable by removing bulky excess tissue.

Thigh Lift Candidates

You may be a good candidate for thighplasty if...

  • You have loose, sagging skin or persistent fat deposits on the thighs
  • You are at or near your goal weight
  • You are in generally good health
  • You do not smoke (or you're willing to quit before surgery)
  • You have realistic expectations for the outcome

You may not be a candidate if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have uncontrolled medical conditions, are significantly overweight or plan to lose more weight post-op, or you have a history of poor wound healing or clotting disorders.

Your Thigh Lift Procedure

Thigh lifts are typically done while the patient is under general anesthesia and take about two to three hours, depending on the extent of the surgery and whether it's combined with other procedures. Dr. Walker will customize your surgical plan based on your anatomy and goals. This may include an inner thigh lift, outer thigh lift, or both.

Incisions are carefully placed along the groin crease, inner thigh, or sometimes extending down the leg, depending on the amount of excess skin. Dr. Walker will tighten underlying tissues, remove unwanted fat, and redrape the skin to reveal a smoother, firmer contour.

Thigh Lift Recovery and Results

M ost patients can expect to return to light activity within a week or two, though full recovery may take around six weeks. Bruising, swelling, and a sensation of tightness are temporary and common in the early days.

Post-procedure compression garments may be recommended to reduce swelling and support healing. Walking is encouraged shortly after surgery to promote circulation, though you should avoid strenuous activity for at least four to six weeks. Keep the incisions clean and dry. Follow scar care instructions for the best healing.

Your final results become more visible as swelling subsides over several months. Results can be long-lasting, especially when paired with a healthy lifestyle.
