The Thigh Lift Procedure Process

A thigh lift is performed under general anesthesia in our state-licensed, private operating room.

1. Incisions & Skin Removal

  • An incision is made in the groin area, sometimes extending down the inner thigh toward the knee.
  • The length and placement of incisions depend on the amount of excess skin being removed.

2. Tissue Tightening & Contouring

  • Loose skin and fat are carefully removed to achieve a smoother contour.
  • The remaining tissue is repositioned and tightened for natural-looking results.

3. Sutures & Dressing

  • The incisions are closed with sutures and surgical glue.
  • A compression garment is applied to minimize swelling and support healing.

Duration:

The procedure typically takes two to three hours.

Recovery and Aftercare

  • Same-Day Discharge – Most patients go home the same day with a responsible adult.
  • Swelling & Bruising – Common for the first few weeks, managed with a compression garment.
  • Pain Management – Prescription pain medications are provided to ensure comfort.
  • Activity Restrictions – Light walking is encouraged, but strenuous activities should be avoided for 4 weeks.
  • Sleeping Position – Sleep with legs slightly bent at the knee to reduce pressure on incisions.
  • Follow-Up Appointments – Scheduled to monitor healing and provide scar care recommendations.

Results: What to Expect After a Thigh Lift

  • Initial improvements in thigh contour will be noticeable immediately after surgery.
  • Final results emerge after 3-6 months, once swelling fully subsides.
  • Scars fade over time with proper care, becoming less visible.

Most patients report a significant boost in confidence and are thrilled with the smooth, toned appearance of their thighs.

Risks and Considerations

As with any surgical procedure, a thigh lift carries some risks, including:

  • Scarring – Incisions are strategically placed to be discreet but will leave some visible scars.
  • Swelling & Bruising – Common during recovery but subsides over time.
  • Infection – Prevented with proper wound care and antibiotics if needed.
  • Temporary Numbness – Some patients experience temporary loss of sensation in the treated area.
  • Fluid Accumulation – Wearing a compression garment helps prevent excess fluid buildup.

Our board-certified plastic surgeons take every precaution to minimize risks and ensure a safe recovery.
