Understanding Thigh Lift
A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the thighs, resulting in smoother skin and better-proportioned legs. It is particularly beneficial for patients who experience skin laxity after significant weight loss, aging, or genetic factors.
Thigh lift surgery improves inner and/or outer thigh firmness, skin tightness and contour, and comfort during movement and exercise. The procedure can be customized to target inner thighs, outer thighs, or both.
