What is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift, also known as thighplasty or thigh contouring, is a cosmetic procedure designed to address concerns about sagging, loose, or excess skin in the inner and outer thighs resulting from aging, significant weight loss, or genetics. This surgery aims to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the thighs by sculpting, lifting, and tightening the skin and underlying tissues. A thigh lift in Atlanta offers a solution for individuals seeking a more toned and contoured thigh profile, which may be challenging to attain through diet and exercise alone.

The benefits of thigh lift

  • Sculpted leg contour: Thigh lift surgery can sculpt and refine the contours of your thighs, eliminating extra skin and fat to create a firmer, more attractive appearance.
  • Enhanced self-confidence: Achieving sleek, well-proportioned thighs can significantly boost your self-confidence and body image, making you feel more comfortable and at ease in various situations.
  • Improved mobility: Eliminating sagging skin and fat can enhance mobility, allowing you to move more comfortably and engage in physical activities easily.
  • Enriched wardrobe options: Thighplasty results often lead to better-fitting clothing and the ability to wear styles that may have been uncomfortable or unflattering before the surgery.

What are my Thigh Lift Options?

Bilateral thigh lift

With this technique, we tighten the skin along both sides of the leg using an incision that starts at the top, approximately where the bottom edge of bikini underwear would be.

Inner thigh lift

Focusing on enhancing the shape and contour of the inner thighs, we use an incision starting at the junction of the pubic area and the upper thigh.

Medial thigh lift

In this procedure, we tighten the skin and remove excess fat from the upper part of the inner thigh, achieved through an incision that begins in the groin area and extends to the back of the buttock crease.

Is a thigh lift right for me?

The ideal individual for a thigh lift in Atlanta with our team is typically someone who has experienced significant weight loss, whether through bariatric surgery or diet and exercise and is left with loose, sagging skin in the thigh area that diet and exercise alone cannot correct. Thigh lift surgery can help individuals achieve smoother and firmer leg contours. It is an excellent option for those looking to address excess thigh skin and achieve a more toned appearance. It is critical to schedule your consultation with Muse Plastic Surgery so we can provide personalized guidance on whether thighplasty is the right choice based on individual goals and needs.

Thigh Lift Recovery & Results

After your thigh lift procedure, recovery will vary based on the extent of your surgery. While everyone’s healing process is different, most patients follow a similar timeline.

  • Post-Surgery Care: We may place temporary drains to manage fluid buildup, typically removed within 5-7 days once fluid accumulation decreases.
  • Rest and Activity Restrictions: For the first 1-2 weeks, limit leg movement and focus on rest to aid healing. Elevating your legs will help reduce swelling. Avoid physical exertion to ensure proper healing.
  • Swelling and Bruising: Bruising and swelling are common after surgery and usually peak within the first few days. By the end of the month, most of the swelling should subside, and the bruising will fade. Compression garments are essential for reducing swelling and supporting thigh contouring.
  • Resuming Normal Activities: Light activities, such as walking, can resume in a few weeks, but avoid strenuous exercise for 4-6 weeks to prevent strain on healing tissues.
  • Full Results: Final results take 6-12 months to fully reveal as the skin settles and swelling completely subsides.
  • Follow-Up Appointments: Regular follow-ups with our team are vital to monitor your progress, remove stitches, and address any concerns during recovery.

Recovery can vary, so following your personalized post-operative care instructions will help ensure optimal results and a smooth healing process for sculpted smoother thighs.

Thigh Lift FAQ

Can a thigh lift address cellulite or stretch marks?

Can a thigh lift be combined with other surgeries?

How much does a thigh lift cost?

The overall expenses for thigh lift surgery encompass various fees, covering the surgical facility, anesthesia, tests, and additional elements. Once the customized thigh lift surgical plan is developed during your consultation, a more accurate cost estimation can be provided.

How does a thigh lift differ from liposuction?

While both procedures can improve the appearance of your thighs, they’re quite different. A thigh lift focuses on removing excess skin and tightening the area, especially after weight loss or aging. Liposuction, on the other hand, removes fat, so it’s ideal if you’re looking to slim down the thighs, but not for tightening loose skin.

Can a thigh lift address cellulite or stretch marks?

While a thigh lift primarily focuses on contouring and tightening, it can also contribute to the improvement of cellulite and reduce the visibility of stretch marks to some extent. However, complete removal may not be guaranteed, and individual results vary.

Can a thigh lift be combined with other surgeries?

Yes, a thigh lift can be combined with other surgeries such as liposuction or a tummy tuck for a comprehensive body contouring approach. Discussing your specific goals with your surgeon will help determine the most suitable combination of procedures for your desired results.
