Loose skin and stubborn excess fat on the thighs due to significant weight loss or aging can be frustrating and even contribute to feelings of self-consciousness. Loss of skin elasticity can make it difficult to target the thigh area through exercise and nutrition alone. A thigh lift offers an effective and lasting solution by reshaping and contouring the thighs for a smoother, firmer appearance.

At our practice in Phoenix thigh lift surgery, or thighplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the inner or outer thighs, creating a more toned and youthful contour.
We offer several types of thigh lifts, including a medial (inner) thigh lift or an outer thigh lift, depending on your specific goals and areas of concern. The overall purpose of a thigh lift is to tighten and smooth the skin of the thighs, reducing sagging and improving shape, often enhancing mobility and comfort.
A thigh lift is a cosmetic procedure that addresses several concerns, including sagging skin due to aging or weight loss, excess fat that remains despite diet and exercise, and a lack of definition or contour in the thighs. This procedure is ideal for those who have achieved a stable weight but are left with loose, hanging skin that affects their confidence and comfort.
A thigh lift primarily targets the inner and outer thighs. This procedure can also address the upper thighs or lower buttocks for more comprehensive lower body contouring, depending on the extent of skin laxity and the patient’s goals. This flexibility allows your surgeon to customize your procedure for optimal results.
However, in an overall sense, thigh lifts can enhance your body proportions for a more youthful appearance throughout. In addition, a thigh lift can be combined with virtually any other body contouring procedure to help you achieve your most satisfying outcome.
Thigh lift surgery offers multiple benefits, including firmer, smoother skin, enhanced thigh contours, and a reduction in excess skin that can cause chafing or discomfort.
The results can even lead to increased mobility and the ability to participate confidently in a wider range of activities. Phoenix thigh lift patients often report feeling more comfortable in their clothing and experiencing a boost in confidence due to their improved appearance. Additionally, a thigh lift can enhance mobility, especially for those who experience irritation or restriction from excess skin rubbing together.
Ideal candidates for a thigh lift surgery are those who are at or near your goal weight and are in good general health but struggle with excess skin and fat on the thighs. Even with a good exercise and nutrition routine, loss of skin elasticity can make the thigh area tough to target. You may consider this procedure if you have loose, sagging skin that affects your comfort or appearance. Patients should maintain realistic expectations about the outcome of their procedure and be committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Those with certain medical conditions, such as poor circulation, severe obesity, or uncontrolled diabetes, may need to consider alternative options. Our experienced team will learn about your individual cosmetic goals and assess your medical history to ensure that thigh lift surgery is the best choice for your needs.
Recovering from a thigh lift typically takes two to four weeks. During this period, you should get plenty of rest and avoid strenuous activities. You may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medications. Your surgeon may recommend that you use a compression garment to lessen swelling and better support the healing process. Follow your surgeon’s instructions closely, including attending each follow-up appointment, to ensure the best outcome.
