Thigh Lift

Thigh lift surgery reshapes the contour and improves the appearance of the inner thighs. This surgery works to tighten sagging skin and can be combined with liposuction, resulting in smoother skin and a better shaped thigh.

A thigh lift involves an incision placed discretely in the groin crease. Skin is then lifted and removed as needed, to make the skin taut against the muscle.

Who is a good candidate for thigh lift?

Anyone who feels that:

• Their thighs are out of proportion, sagging, or refusing to shrink via exercise or diet
• Substantial weight loss has resulted in permanent loose skin
• There is excess unwanted skin or fat around the thighs

Seeking a thigh lift, especially among women, is fairly common, as this can be an especially difficult area to tone through exercise and diet.

How long does it take to recover from a thigh lift?

A thigh lift generally has a 1-2 week to recovery period, though may be longer if combined with other procedures. Dr. Horowitz will prescribe a pain medication to alleviate any pain or discomfort.

Once recovered, your thighs will be firmer and the appearance of being more toned, which will make your body more aesthetically pleasing overall. Maintaining exercise and diet will help shape your thighs further, working in conjunction with the surgery towards a more idealized shape
