Enhance your shape and confidence with a thigh lift in Fort Lauderdale
Every body is unique—and for many, the thighs can be an area of concern when it comes to achieving smooth, toned contours. Over time, factors like aging, weight fluctuations, or genetics can lead to loose skin, stubborn fat, or a lack of definition in the thigh area. A thigh lift can help restore a firmer, more sculpted appearance by removing excess skin and refining the shape of the legs.
A thigh lift isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about enhancing comfort, mobility, and the confidence you feel in your body. For many patients, it’s the key to wearing their favorite clothes with ease, moving freely without chafing or discomfort, and feeling proud of their legs from every angle.
This highly customizable procedure addresses both skin laxity and contour, creating a smoother, tighter look that complements your natural proportions. Whether your concerns are mild sagging, significant skin looseness, or stubborn fat deposits, a thigh lift is tailored to your goals and anatomy—delivering results that feel natural, balanced, and empowering.

Where will my thigh lift incisions be placed?
Every thigh lift is customized to your body and your goals. The type of incision your surgeon recommends will depend on how much skin tightening you need, where the excess skin is located, and your desired outcome. Our goal is always to achieve the smoothest contour with the most discreet scar placement possible.
Common thigh lift incision types:
Inner Thigh (Groin Crease or Crescent) Incision
Placed in the natural crease where the thigh meets the groin, this incision tightens and smooths the upper inner thigh. Best for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity in this area.
Vertical (Medial) Thigh Incision
Runs from the groin crease down toward the on the inner thigh. This approach addresses more significant skin laxity along the entire length of the inner thigh.
Outer Thigh & Hip Incision
Extends from the groin around the hip to the lower back, lifting and tightening skin on the outer thigh and hip area. Often chosen for patients who want a smoother transition from thigh to hip.
Combined Approach
In some cases, a combination of incision patterns is used to address both inner and outer thigh concerns for the most balanced, sculpted result.
Areas improved by a thigh lift
- Loose or sagging skin along the inner thighs
- Drooping or lax outer thighs
- Excess skin after weight loss
- Uneven thigh contours
- Chafing or discomfort caused by skin folds
By selecting the right incision type for your anatomy, we can ensure smoother, firmer thighs that look natural and feel comfortable in clothing, swimwear, and daily movement.
You’ll look like a more confident version of yourself
Restore a more youthful leg contour
A thigh lift removes excess skin and tightens underlying tissue, creating smoother, firmer thighs that look more youthful and toned—especially after weight loss or aging.
Eliminate chafing and skin irritation
Loose skin on the inner thighs can cause friction, rashes, or discomfort during daily activities. By removing and tightening excess skin, a thigh lift reduces chafing and improves overall comfort.
Enhance clothing fit and wardrobe choices
Many patients find that pants, shorts, skirts, and swimsuits fit more comfortably after a thigh lift. Without excess skin, you can enjoy a wider variety of styles and feel more confident wearing them.
Smooth and balance thigh proportions
Uneven contours or sagging skin can make thighs appear disproportionate to the rest of your body. A thigh lift sculpts a balanced, symmetrical look that complements your natural shape.
Improve mobility and physical comfort
Removing excess skin can make walking, exercising, and other activities easier and more comfortable—especially for those who experienced restricted movement from skin folds.
Boost body confidence and self-image
For many patients, a thigh lift is about more than just appearance—it’s about feeling free, comfortable, and confident in their own skin again.

Surgery and recovery process
30 - 1 Day Before Surgery
Your journey starts with a detailed consultation where your surgeon will review your goals, examine your anatomy, and design a personalized surgical plan. You’ll also complete any required medical testing, take pre-operative photos, and receive clear instructions to help you prepare for a safe, smooth procedure day.
Surgery Day
A thigh lift typically takes 2–3 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Your surgeon will remove excess skin, tighten underlying tissue, and carefully close incisions for minimal, discreet scarring. You’ll go home the same day with a compression dressing in place to help reduce swelling and support your new contours.
1 Day Post Op
Expect to rest and limit movement—especially bending and stretching your legs. Some swelling, bruising, and tightness are normal. Keep your compression dressing on as instructed to aid in healing.
1 Week Post Op
You’ll return for a follow-up appointment so your surgeon can check your incisions and progress. Most patients notice improved comfort and mobility as swelling begins to subside, but strenuous activities should still be avoided.
1 Month Post Op
Light walking and daily activities are usually possible at this stage, though you should still avoid high-impact exercise. Your thighs will continue to refine in shape and feel more natural with each passing week.
2 - 12 Months Post Op
Most swelling will be gone, scars will begin to fade, and your final results will take shape. Patients often feel fully healed and enjoy the confidence that comes with smoother, more toned legs.

Frequently asked thigh lift surgery questions
What is a thigh lift?
A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the thighs to create a smoother, more toned contour. It’s ideal for patients who have loose skin due to weight loss, aging, or genetics.
Am I a good candidate for a thigh lift?
You may be a good candidate if you’re in good overall health, at or near your ideal weight, and have excess skin or sagging tissue on your thighs that doesn’t improve with diet and exercise.
What areas can a thigh lift improve?
A thigh lift can target the inner thighs, outer thighs, or both. The procedure smooths skin, tightens tissue, and enhances leg proportions for a more youthful look.
What types of thigh lifts are there?
Common techniques include:
- Inner thigh lift – focuses on skin and tissue tightening along the inner thigh.
- Outer thigh lift – addresses sagging skin on the outer thigh and hip area.
- Mini thigh lift – targets mild sagging in the upper inner thigh with a smaller incision.
How long does a thigh lift take?
Most thigh lifts take 2–3 hours depending on the extent of correction and whether it’s combined with other procedures.
Is a thigh lift the same as liposuction?
No. Liposuction removes fat, while a thigh lift removes excess skin and tightens the remaining tissue. Many patients combine both for optimal results, especially after significant weight loss.
Will I have scars after thigh lift surgery?
Yes, but your surgeon will place incisions strategically to keep scars as discreet as possible. Over time, scars typically fade and become less noticeable.
How long is recovery after a thigh lift?
Most patients can return to light daily activities within 2–3 weeks, but full recovery and final results can take 3–6 months.
How should I prepare for my thigh lift?
You’ll need to follow pre-operative instructions, avoid smoking, stop certain medications, and arrange for help at home during the first few days after surgery.
What results can I expect from a thigh lift?
You can expect smoother, firmer, and more proportionate thighs. Results are long-lasting if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
Can a thigh lift be combined with other procedures?
Yes, many patients combine thigh lifts with tummy tucks, butt lifts, or liposuction for a more complete lower body transformation. Every Patient is different, your surgeon will decide which procedures, if any, can be added to your thigh lift surgery.
Will a thigh lift help with cellulite?
While a thigh lift can improve skin tightness and smoothness, it is not specifically designed to eliminate cellulite. Some improvement may be seen as skin becomes firmer.
Is a thigh lift painful?
Discomfort is normal in the first few days, but it can be managed with prescribed pain medication and by following post-op care instructions.
How much does a thigh lift cost?
The cost of a thigh lift varies depending on the type of procedure and any additional treatments. Contact the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery for a personalized quote and financing options. Starting price: $2,999 (not including anesthesia and surgeon fees).
