Thigh Lifts
Many people find it challenging to achieve the smooth and sculpted look they want for their thighs through exercise and diet alone. In fact, these measures are seldom fruitful when it comes to eradicating the loose skin and pockets of cellulite that can plague the thigh area. Fortunately, plastic surgeons have developed thigh lifts that result in well-contoured, natural-looking thighs. If you’re struggling with achieving that contoured look you crave, you might consider this popular corrective procedure.
Thigh Lift Surgery Explained
Your surgeon will first evaluate your thighs to assess which surgical options are ideal for you. Skin laxity usually determines the surgical route that your plastic surgeon will take. If your skin laxity is mild or even moderate, the surgeon may confine the incision to the upper thigh area. For excessive laxity, your surgeon may require an incision that stretches from the upper thigh down to the knee. Your surgeon might recommend liposuction, as well, during your thigh lift procedure. In some cases, an overnight stay is recommended, particularly for more extensive surgeries, but usually, patients can return home after the general anesthesia wears off.

What to Expect After a Thigh Lift
A thigh lift is a permanent procedure. Providing you can maintain a stable weight, your thighs should retain their smooth, contoured appearance. Your plastic surgeon will likely recommend you maintain an active, healthy lifestyle and avoid weight fluctuations. Keep in mind that swelling from the surgery may take a few weeks to dissipate. You may also have a scar, more or less visible, depending on the technique the surgeon used. Your surgeon will likely explain what you should expect with scarring in your particular case.
Is a Thigh Lift Right for Me?
The ideal way to determine if a thigh lift is the right surgical course for you is to speak with an experienced plastic surgeon who can evaluate your case. This procedure is frequently recommended for people who are aging and experiencing loose thigh skin or people who have experienced substantial weight loss that results in sagging thigh skin.
