Thigh Lift

The procedure is often combined with liposuction. The outer thigh is generally not targeted in a thigh lift as liposuction and a butt lift tend to produce better results in that area of the leg.

This procedure requires a surgical incision of varying lengths based on how much skin must be removed. The location of the incision is usually on the medial aspect of the thigh and often extends along the groin crease. The position of the incision can be adjusted based on clothing preference or to attempt to reduce visibility.

After surgery, the patient is placed in a compression garment to limit swelling. Light activity is normally possible in approximately two weeks, while full physical activity is permissible at four to six weeks. All post op symptoms should be resolved within six months, and scars fade within six months to twelve months
