What Is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift is a body contouring procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the thighs by removing excess skin and fat, resulting in smoother, firmer contours. Factors such as significant weight loss, age-related skin elasticity loss, and genetics can lead to loose or sagging skin on the thighs, negatively impacting patients’ confidence and potentially causing physical discomfort due to chafing. Dr. Hinojosa tailors each thigh lift procedure to meet her patients’ unique goals, helping them achieve a more toned and balanced lower body.
What Is Involved in the Thigh Lift Procedure?
The thigh lift procedure typically begins with general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. Dr. Hinojosa carefully plans the approach, which may focus on the inner thighs, outer thighs, or both, depending on the patient’s needs and goals.
- Inner Thigh Lift: This approach is ideal for patients looking to address sagging or excess skin along the inner thighs, often due to weight loss or natural aging. Incisions are generally made along the groin or upper inner thigh to remove loose skin and tighten the inner contour. This approach can improve comfort by reducing skin chafing and achieving a slimmer appearance for the inner thighs.
- Outer Thigh Lift: An outer thigh lift targets the outer thigh and hip area, where excess skin and fat can create an unbalanced or bulky look. The incisions are typically placed along the upper hip or outer thigh to allow for optimal contouring and lift. By focusing on the outer thighs, this approach enhances the silhouette and can be particularly effective for patients with significant skin laxity in the outer thigh area.
In both approaches, Dr. Hinojosa may incorporate liposuction to address localized fat deposits and further sculpt the thighs. Once the desired contours are achieved, the incisions are carefully closed, and patients are provided with post-operative care instructions to aid in the healing process.
How Much Does a Thigh Lift Cost?
The average cost of a thigh lift at the Coastal Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery Center is $9,170-$9,970.
