Thigh Lift Beverly Hills - Leif Rogers MD

What is Thigh Lift?

Thigh lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the thigh area to improve the appearance of the thighs. It is typically performed on people who have lost a significant amount of weight or have loose, sagging skin due to aging or genetics.

During a thigh lift procedure, an incision is made in the inner thigh area, and excess skin and fat are removed. The remaining skin is then pulled tight and sutured into place to create a smoother, more toned appearance. In some cases, liposuction may be used to remove additional fat from the thighs.

Procedure

The duration of a thigh lift procedure depends on the extent of the surgery and the techniques used. Generally, the procedure takes between 2-4 hours to complete.

Recovery

Most patients can return to work and light activities within 1-2 weeks, but more strenuous activities should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks.

Anesthesia

Thigh lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia, which means that the patient is completely unconscious during the procedure.

Who Qualifies for Thigh Lift?

Thigh lift surgery is suitable for individuals who have excess skin and fat on their thighs that cannot be reduced through diet and exercise alone. The ideal candidates for this surgery are in good overall health, have realistic expectations about the results of the surgery, and are committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle after the procedure. Some specific factors that may make a person a good candidate for a thigh lift surgery include significant weight loss, aging, genetics, pregnancy, and medical concerns such as skin irritation or chafing. It’s important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine if you are a suitable candidate for a thigh lift surgery, as the surgeon can evaluate your medical history, examine the extent of the excess skin and fat on your thighs, and recommend the best treatment plan for you.
