THIGH LIFT
Thigh Lift Surgery in Charleston, WV – Achieve Slimmer, Toned Thighs
Have you lost a significant amount of weight but are now left with excess, sagging skin on your thighs? Loose skin on the inner or outer thighs can affect your confidence, cause discomfort, and make it difficult to wear fitted clothing. At Charleston Surgical Arts, Dr. Bali offers thigh lift surgery (thighplasty) to help you achieve firmer, smoother, and more contoured legs.
What is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift is a body contouring procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the inner or outer thighs. This surgery is ideal for individuals who have lost a substantial amount of weight, are experiencing sagging skin due to aging, or struggle with skin irritation from excess skin folds. By removing loose skin and tightening the thighs, a thigh lift can enhance your leg contours and boost your confidence.
Benefits of a Thigh Lift (Thighplasty)
✅ Removes Loose, Sagging Skin – Achieve firmer and smoother thighs.
✅ Eliminates Chafing & Skin Irritation – Say goodbye to rashes and discomfort caused by excess skin.
✅ Enhances Leg Contours – Reshape your thighs for a more sculpted, toned appearance.
✅ Improves Mobility – Excess skin can restrict movement, and a thigh lift can enhance comfort and flexibility.
✅ Boosts Self-Confidence – Feel more comfortable in shorts, dresses, and swimsuits.
Am I a Candidate for a Thigh Lift?
You may be a good candidate for a thigh lift if you:
✔ Have loose, hanging skin on your inner or outer thighs
✔ Have lost a significant amount of weight (especially 100+ pounds)
✔ Experience skin irritation, rashes, or chafing due to excess skin
✔ Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations
✔ Have maintained a stable weight for at least 6 months
A thigh lift is particularly beneficial for patients after weight loss surgery, aging individuals with skin laxity, or women who experienced skin stretching after pregnancy.
What to Expect from a Thigh Lift Procedure
✔ Procedure Time: 2 – 3 hours
✔ Anesthesia: Performed under intravenous anesthesia for a pain-free experience
✔ Surgical Incisions: Carefully placed on the inner thighs or groin area to minimize visible scarring
✔ Liposuction Option: Some patients may require liposuction for added contouring
Surgical Steps:
1️⃣ Incisions are made along the inner or outer thighs to remove excess skin.
2️⃣ Tightening of the underlying tissue creates a firmer, more toned appearance.
3️⃣ Liposuction may be used to remove stubborn fat pockets.
4️⃣ Incisions are sutured and compression garments applied to aid healing.
Thigh Lift Recovery & Results
Recovery Time: 6 – 8 weeks
✔ Expect mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising for the first few days
✔ Begin light walking within days to promote blood circulation and faster healing
✔ Wear compression garments to reduce swelling and support the healing process
✔ Follow post-op care instructions to minimize scarring and optimize results
As swelling subsides, your thighs will appear tighter, more sculpted, and beautifully contoured. The final results become visible within a few months, allowing you to confidently show off your new leg shape.
