The thighs can be a challenging area to tone, especially after weight loss or as the skin naturally loses elasticity with age. Even with regular exercise, sagging skin or stubborn fat can remain. A thigh lift can smooth and reshape the thighs by removing excess skin and refining the underlying contours.
At The Brandow Clinic Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Kirk Brandow offers thigh lift surgery for patients in Main Line Philadelphia and Somers Point, NJ. Dr. Brandow uses precise surgical techniques and careful scar placement so you can feel confident wearing shorts, skirts, or swimwear.
What Is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift is a surgical procedure designed to improve the tone and contour of the thighs. It can address:
- Loose or sagging skin on the inner or outer thighs
- Uneven contours after weight loss
- Thighs that appear out of proportion to the rest of the body
For many patients, a thigh lift is part of a larger excess skin removal plan that may also include procedures like an arm lift, body lift, or tummy tuck.
How the Procedure Works
Thigh lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. Depending on your needs, Dr. Brandow may use one of several incision patterns, often placed along the inner thigh or groin crease to help minimize visible scarring. Through these incisions, excess skin is removed, the underlying tissue is tightened, and liposuction may be used to refine the contour.
Recovery often includes:
- Wearing a compression garment to support healing
- Taking a break from strenuous activities for several weeks
- Following aftercare instructions to protect incision sites
Results become more noticeable as swelling subsides, revealing smoother, firmer thighs.
Who Is a Candidate for a Thigh Lift?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have loose skin on your thighs that doesn’t respond to exercise
- Are at or near a stable weight
- Are in good general health
- Have realistic expectations about results and scarring
A thigh lift can be performed on its own or combined with other contouring procedures for more comprehensive results.
