The decision to perform a skin lift versus liposuction only will depend on the elasticity of the patient’s skin. Patients that have small volumes of fat in their legs may be candidates for liposuction only. In patients where there is an excess of loose, hanging skin, the only way to correct this problem is through a thigh lift procedure.

Q: Will there be a scar?

It’s important that patients understand scarring is a part of this procedure. The scar will extend along the inner groin crease and into the buttock fold. It is typically well hidden by undergarments. It is recommended that patients avoid excessive sun exposure during the first year to protect the incisions from any additional discoloration. Most patients believe the scars are a small trade-off for a new, shapelier leg. Dr. Demianczuk will discuss scar care to help assist in the healing process.

Q: Can I combine this surgery with other procedures?

A thigh lift is a significant operation, and as such is rarely done in combination with another procedure. During your consultation, other lower body surgical options will be discussed and recommendations will be made on whether these procedures should be done at the same time.

Thigh lift surgery is a body contouring procedure designed to remove excess skin and improve the shape and tone of the upper legs. This surgery is ideal for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss and are left with loose, sagging skin that does not respond to diet or exercise. During your consultation, a personalized surgical plan will be developed to align with your unique goals and condition.

Thigh Lift Procedure

During your thigh lift procedure, you will be given general anesthesia to help you maintain optimal comfort. The thigh lift procedure involves an incision extending from the front bikini line to the crease beneath the buttocks. Through this incision, excess fat is removed using liposuction, and the skin is tightened and trimmed to create a more sculpted thigh contour. In some cases, a small drainage tube may be temporarily placed to reduce fluid buildup and assist with healing. The procedure typically takes between two and three hours to complete.

What to Expect

Thigh lift surgery is completed under general anesthesia at an accredited surgical center. The procedure usually lasts between two to three hours and is considered outpatient, allowing you to return home. After surgery, patients wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and promote circulation as the body heals. Gradual improvement in comfort, movement, and mobility is expected during the recovery period.

Procedure Cost

The cost of a thigh lift typically ranges between $12,000 and $14,000. Pricing may vary depending on the complexity of the procedure and whether it is performed with other surgeries. A detailed cost breakdown will be provided during your consultation.
