Weight loss is an impressive accomplishment for any individual. In some cases, women and men who reach their ideal weight sometimes require a body contouring treatment to achieve their goals. Based on the amount of time you were overweight and how much of that weight you lost, you may have difficulty with excess skin. Often, the thighs are an area of concern for a lot of patients. Dr. Bali offers thigh lifts or thighplasty, for those who have lost the extra weight and now have excess skin. This procedure removes the extra skin on the inner or outer thighs. Removing this excess skin on the thighs creates a firmer, more contoured appearance.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A THIGH LIFT?
Loose or excess skin on the thighs can create a number of problems that can include chafing and rashes. Excess skin can also make it difficult to perform certain activities or wear form-fitting clothing. Many people feel self-conscious about their appearance and hide their legs. A thigh lift can address all of these problems and more, giving you smoother, firmer contours and improving your overall look.

IS A THIGH LIFT RIGHT FOR YOU?
Thighplasty is a skin removal and skin tightening treatment that removes extra skin on the thighs. Typically, thighplasty is considered after undergoing a major weight loss procedure. Thigh lift surgery can help patients who have lost over 100 pounds. This popular procedure can also help older patients who feel concerned about sagging skin or women who gained weight during pregnancy. If you have loose, wrinkly, or hanging skin on your upper thighs, a thigh lift can help you feel more comfortable, especially if you experience certain skin problems.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Thigh lift surgery takes around 2 – 3 hours to complete. The procedure is done as an outpatient procedure. You may experience some discomfort, bruising, and swelling during the first few days of recovery. Within the first several days, most patients can slowly start to walk, which is important for blood circulation and faster healing. Your overall recovery period typically lasts around 6 – 8 weeks. We will provide post-op instructions that will help your incisions heal so they appear less visible. Although you experience some scarring, the new contour and shape of your legs can improve your self-confidence, and you can show your thighs with pride.
