Thigh Lift (Thighplasty)
A thigh lift removes excess skin from the thigh to create smoother lines and more balanced lower-body proportions.
Improve the Contours and Tone of the Thighs
The thighs are an area where skin laxity tends to become more noticeable over time, especially after significant weight loss or with natural aging. Even with regular exercise, excess skin can remain and affect both contour and comfort. A thigh lift restores structure by removing that excess skin and refining the inner or outer thigh, aiming for a smoother transition.
Common Concerns
Common concerns include:
Loose or excess skin along the inner or outer thigh
Changes after significant weight loss
Skin that doesn’t respond to exercise
Discomfort from skin friction
Wanting smoother, more defined thigh contours

The treatment can:

Who This Is For
A thigh lift is worth discussing if loose skin along the thighs is affecting comfort or contour and hasn’t improved with exercise, most commonly after major weight loss, where the trade-off of a scar is worth the change in shape.
