Surgical removal of excess skin and fat from the inner or outer thighs after major weight loss. Restores firm, contoured thighs that diet and exercise alone cannot achieve.
What to expect
Typical milestones for an aesthetic-procedure patient. Your surgeon will personalise the plan during your consultation.
Before surgery
Consultation
Surgeon reviews your photos + the simulator preview, sets realistic expectations, and books the procedure date.
Day 0
Procedure
In-clinic procedure under local or general anaesthetic. Most patients go home the same day.
Days 1–7
Early recovery
Swelling and bruising peak around day 3 then start to subside. Most patients work from home this week.
Weeks 2–6
Settling in
Visible swelling resolves; you can return to social commitments + light exercise. Final shape still emerging.
Months 6–12
Final result
Tissues fully settle and the simulated outcome becomes your real face. Follow-up review with your surgeon.

Thigh lift addresses skin laxity in the inner or outer thighs that remains after significant weight loss or develops with aging. Three main approaches exist: medial (inner thigh) lift with incision in the groin and along the inner thigh, vertical thighplasty for more severe laxity (incision runs from groin to knee), and outer thigh lift typically combined with body lift.
The procedure delivers reliably tighter, more contoured thighs but trades that for a permanent scar. Recovery is significant: 2-3 weeks of restricted movement, 4-6 weeks before exercise, and 3-6 months for full scar maturation. Liposuction is often combined for finer contour. Most candidates are post-bariatric weight loss patients (60+ lbs lost) who've completed their weight loss journey.
Post-weight-loss patients (60+ lbs lost) with significant thigh skin laxity who accept a permanent scar in exchange for contour restoration.
Recovery Time
2-3 weeks (restricted), 4-6 weeks (exercise), 3-6 months (scar maturation)
Procedure Duration
2-4 hours
Typical Cost Range
$5,500 – $11,000
