Your Premier Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeons
Loose skin and stubborn fat around the thighs can be difficult to eliminate, even with a healthy lifestyle. Whether due to genetics, weight fluctuations, aging, or post-pregnancy changes, this area often resists traditional methods of toning and can disrupt the harmony of your overall figure.
A thigh lift provides a safe and effective solution to reshape and refine the contours of the upper legs by removing excess skin and fat while improving firmness and proportion. At Plastic Surgery Specialists of South Florida in Hollywood, FL, we customize each thigh lift procedure to suit your unique anatomy and aesthetic vision. Whether your goal is a more sculpted inner thigh or smoother outer contours, our skilled team combines surgical expertise with artistic sensitivity to deliver elegant, natural-looking results with precision and care.
A thigh lift is a plastic surgery procedure designed to reshape and smooth the thighs by removing excess skin and fat, often following major weight loss, aging, or other body changes. It is one of several body contouring options used to improve proportions and restore firmer, more toned leg contours.
Thigh lifts are particularly beneficial for individuals who struggle with sagging skin or persistent fat deposits in the upper legs—issues that are rarely resolved through diet and exercise alone. By tightening the supportive tissue beneath the skin and reducing bulk, the procedure enhances both the appearance and comfort of the inner or outer thighs.
Often performed in conjunction with other contouring surgeries such as liposuction, tummy tuck, or buttock lift, a thigh lift can help achieve a more balanced and youthful overall body shape. Common treatment areas include:
A successful thigh lift begins with thoughtful preparation. In the weeks before surgery, you may need lab work, adjustments to medications, and guidance on stopping supplements that affect healing. If you smoke, it’s essential to stop well in advance, as smoking can interfere with recovery.
At Plastic Surgery Specialists of South Florida, we’ll provide clear, personalized instructions and help you get ready step by step. Before surgery, set up a recovery space at home, fill any prescriptions, and arrange for someone to assist you during the first few days.
Our team is here to ensure you feel informed, supported, and confident as you prepare for your transformation.
Thigh Lift Surgery at Plastic Surgery Specialists of South Florida
Thigh Lift Surgery is more than a cosmetic enhancement, it’s a personalized path to greater comfort, confidence, and body harmony. At Plastic Surgery Specialists of South Florida, Dr. Barnavon and Dr. Reisler bring both aesthetic vision and surgical expertise to every thigh lift, addressing loose skin and tissue laxity to refine the natural contour of the thighs.
With decades of experience and international training, our board-certified plastic surgeons are highly regarded for their leadership in advanced body contouring procedures. They continuously integrate the latest surgical innovations and best practices to ensure safety, precision, and results that look and feel natural. Their approach to thigh lifting focuses on proportion, symmetry, and individualized care, reshaping the upper legs while preserving your unique structure. Whether targeting the inner or outer thighs, their goal remains the same: to deliver elegant, long-lasting results that enhance your shape and restore your self-assurance.
While fitness can improve muscle tone and reduce overall fat, it can’t tighten skin that has lost its elasticity due to weight loss, aging, or genetics. A thigh lift removes excess skin and reshapes the tissue to create smoother, firmer contours.
Scars are a natural part of the healing process, but our surgeons place incisions in discreet areas—often along the groin crease or inner thigh—so they’re easily concealed by most clothing and underwear. With time and proper care, scars tend to fade significantly.
Most patients can resume light activities within 1–2 weeks. Swelling and bruising are common but gradually subside. Full recovery, including return to exercise and more vigorous activity, typically takes 4–6 weeks, depending on your body’s healing response.
Ideally, you should be at or near a stable weight before undergoing a thigh lift. Significant weight changes after surgery can impact your results. If you’re still actively losing weight, we may recommend waiting until you reach your goal to ensure optimal, long-lasting outcomes.
