Enhance your shape and confidence with a thigh lift in Fort Lauderdale
A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a customized procedure that addresses both skin laxity and contour. This procedure allows patients to achieve a smoother, tighter look around the legs. This type of cosmetic body procedure not only addresses the aesthetic, but it is also about enhancing the comfort and mobility for our patients in their everyday lives. The thighs can become an area of concern for many when factors like aging, weight fluctuations, or genetics can lead to loose, sagging skin and stubborn fat deposits that can’t be removed with exercise and diet, causing a lack of definition and irritation.
Our team of expert plastic surgeons, Dr. Brandon Elnekaveh and Dr. Rohan Policherla, are committed to delivering thigh lift results in Fort Lauderdale that feel and look natural for your unique anatomy. Whether your concerns are mild sagging, significant loose skin, or stubborn fat, our surgeons will design a plan that adjusts to your goals and aesthetic vision.
Your body, your goals — Personalized thigh lift surgery
Our patients come to the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery with different goals and concerns, which is why our team focuses on creating personalized approaches for every single person who visits and chooses our center. Because not all thigh lift procedures should be the same.
Whether you’re looking to achieve a smoother, more toned thigh contour, remove excess skin after major weight loss, or simply improve your comfort and mobility, the first step is for our surgeons to create and customize your surgery plan. This type of plan includes excess skin removal, eliminating stubborn fat pockets, and correcting the skin tissue around the legs to achieve a firmer look around the legs.
Even though many patients see drastic aesthetic changes, this procedure also enhances the quality of movement, reduces skin irritation or chafing, and renews overall confidence for our patients.
The cost of a thigh lift in Fort Lauderdale at the South Florida Center starts at $2,999 (not including anesthesia and surgeon fees). Your final personalized quote will be provided by your coordinator once your surgeon finalizes your custom surgical plan, and final pricing will vary depending on any complementary procedure you choose to combine to enhance your results.
At the South Florida Center, we believe that your cosmetic procedure should feel attainable. This is why our staff will also provide you with information regarding our flexible financing options through third-party companies and their simple application process, which only takes minutes. Our team will guide you through every step to help you make informed and confident decisions.
Where will my thigh lift incisions be placed?
We understand that patients come with different concerns and goals, and we also provide information and make decisions based on their anatomy and goals. The type of incision for a Thigh lift is key and will depend on how much skin tightening you need, where your excess skin is located, and your desired outcomes. This decision is based on delivering the best results with the most discreet type of incision 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.
Enfoque combinado
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
Alongside your surgeon, the right selection of incision type will be made to ensure smoother, more toned thighs, delivering balanced and natural results that fit your body type and lifestyle.
Customize your thigh lift benefits
Restore a more youthful leg contour
By removing excess skin and tightening the underlying tissue, your surgeon can achieve smoother and firmer thighs that look more youthful, especially after weight fluctuations/ loss, or aging.
Eliminate chafing and skin irritation
Loose skin around the inner thighs can cause friction, which eventually irritates and creates rashes on the skin, causing high discomfort during daily activities like walking or exercising. By removing the excess skin and tightening the area, the friction is removed, and this improves the patient’s overall comfort.
Mejorar el ajuste de la ropa y la elección del vestuario
Even when the change is physical, this type of procedure also enhances our patients’ confidence when wearing certain types of clothing, like shorts, dresses, skirts, etc. Without excess skin, you will be able to enjoy a wider variety of styles.
Smooth and balance thigh proportions
Uneven skin tissue can cause a disproportionate look and cause uneven contours. A thigh lift tightens the skin, achieving a balanced and symmetrical result which complements your natural silhouette.
Improve mobility and physical comfort
Many patients experience an increase in comfort and mobility when walking, exercising, and other types of physical activities. After a thigh lift is done, any type of physical limitation is removed.
Boost body confidence and self-image
A thigh lift is more than a cosmetic procedure for many patients; it also enhances the quality of life, and they are able to feel more comfortable, free, and confident in their own skin again.

Cirugía y proceso de recuperación
30 - 1 día antes de la intervención
The first step before your thigh lift surgery is to complete your virtual consultation with your surgeon, which helps evaluate your concerns and goals. You’ll also complete any pre-operative requirements like bloodwork, medical clearance, and before pictures.
Día de la cirugía
A thigh lift takes around 2-3 hours, and it is performed under general anesthesia to ensure the patient’s comfort and safety. Your surgeon will remove any excess skin and tighten the underlying tissue. This is an outpatient procedure, which means you’ll be able to go home with detailed post-operative instructions to support your recovery.
1 día postoperatorio
Limited movement and rest should be prioritized; avoid bending and stretching your legs. Swelling, bruising, and tightness around the area are normal. It is important to wear your compression garments as instructed to support healing.
1 semana postoperatoria
One week after your surgery, you will come back to our office for your post-op appointment, where your surgeon will monitor your incisions and healing. Most patients start feeling more comfortable and with more mobility; however, strenuous activities should still be avoided, and assistance might still be needed.
1 mes postoperatorio
Most patients can return to light walking and daily activities; your surgeon will advise you to still avoid high-impact exercise. Your thighs will continue to refine in shape, and swelling will continue to subside.
2 - 6 Months Post Op
Major swelling is gone around this stage, and scars will begin to fade. Patients often feel fully recovered and can return to normal activities and lifestyle while enjoying their sculpted new legs.

Frequently asked thigh lift surgery questions
What is a thigh lift?
A thigh lift, also known as thighplasty, is a procedure where excess skin and fat pockets are removed from the upper legs to improve shape, firmness, and physical comfort for patients. Results are both aesthetic and functional, where your surgeon is able to reduce friction and limitations from your everyday life.
Am I a good candidate for a thigh lift in Fort Lauderdale?
An ideal candidate has to be in overall good health and be at or close to a stable weight. Many patients who choose to have a thigh lift experience sagging skin on the thighs that does not respond to exercise, diet, or healthy habits. A personal consultation with one of our expert plastic surgeons can help you determine candidacy.
What areas can a thigh lift improve?
A thigh lift can help improve the overall leg contour. This procedure addresses lax skin on the inner thighs, outer thighs, or both, depending on your needs and concerns. In addition to aesthetic improvement, many patients experience improvement in physical comfort when walking and exercising.
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?
A thigh lift takes around 2-3 hours. The exact time depends on the complexity of your case, the amount of skin removal, and whether both thighs are being treated or one. Many patients also choose a combined approach with different procedures.
Is a thigh lift the same as liposuction?
No. Liposuction helps and assists with the suction of the fat from certain areas. Patients who choose liposuction tend to have good skin elasticity and minimal skin sagging. A thigh lift is the removal and tightening of the skin tissue around the leg contour and underlying structure.
Will I have scars after thigh lift surgery?
Yes, your surgeon will place an incision around the thigh to be able to remove the excess skin; however, each incision is placed strategically to keep scars as discreet as possible. Over time, scars fade with proper care and become less noticeable, blending with the natural skin tissue.
How long is recovery after a thigh lift?
Many patients experience discomfort and need assistance for the first 3 weeks; however, after the 4th week, many patients feel more comfortable returning to light activities and walking. Final results are achieved around the 6-12 month mark once all the swelling subsides, and scars are finally fading.
How should I prepare for my thigh lift?
Patients who are getting ready for a thigh lift must be able to maintain a stable weight before and after surgery; it is important to stop the consumption of nicotine and avoid certain medications or supplements that can increase bleeding. Your surgeon will provide you with detailed pre-operative care to get you ready for surgery.
What results can I expect from a thigh lift?
Patients are able to experience and enjoy smoother and firmer thighs, improving the shape and proportions. Clothing fits better, and overall daily comfort increases. Maintaining a stable weight helps to maintain the outcome long-term.
Can a thigh lift be combined with other procedures?
Yes, the most popular combo procedures are tummy tucks, liposuction, or buttocks enhancements like BBLs. Combining procedures can deliver a more balanced result over time and will help to reduce the overall recovery time. Your surgeon will evaluate your candidacy during your consultation.
Will a thigh lift help with cellulite?
A thigh lift is not performed to eliminate cellulite; however, when the excess skin is removed and the underlying tissue is tightened, it can create a smoother appearance and may reduce the visibility of cellulite for many patients. Results will depend on skin quality. Patients combine their thigh lift with non-surgical laser treatments to help reduce any skin texture.
Is a thigh lift painful?
Discomfort and swelling are normal during a thigh lift. Many patients don’t deal with pain, but with mild to moderate discomfort. Walking assistance might be needed for the first couple of weeks, and the use of pain medication is recommended to manage any type of discomfort and support the patient’s healing journey.
How much does a thigh lift cost in Fort Lauderdale?
The cost of a thigh lift at the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery starts at $2,999 (anesthesia and surgeon fees not included). Final quote will be provided by your coordinator, and it will be affected by your final surgery plan, and if you decide to combine any other procedure with your thighplasty. Flexible financing options are available.
How soon will I see results after a thigh lift?
Initial improvements are visible right away, though swelling may temporarily obscure your final thigh lift outcome. As healing progresses, contours become smoother and more defined. Most patients see significant improvement within one to three months. Final results typically appear by six months post-surgery.
Does a thigh lift help with loose skin after major weight loss?
Yes. A thigh lift is one of the most effective solutions for patients who have experienced significant weight loss and are left with sagging, excess skin that won’t tighten on its own. Diet and exercise can’t address stretched skin, especially in the inner thighs. This procedure removes that excess tissue and restores a more proportional, contoured leg appearance. It’s commonly performed as part of post–weight loss body contouring.
Do I need to lose weight before getting a thigh lift?
Yes — patients should be at or near their goal weight before thigh surgery. Weight fluctuations after a thigh lift can stretch the skin again and compromise results. A stable weight helps ensure the best long-term outcome and reduces surgical risk. Your surgeon will discuss readiness during the consultation.
Will I need to wear compression garments after thighplasty?
Yes. Compression garments are typically worn for several weeks following a thigh lift. They help control swelling, support healing tissues, and improve contour as your body adjusts. Wearing compression as instructed is an important part of achieving smooth, even results. Your surgeon will guide you on duration and fit.
Is a thigh lift performed as an outpatient procedure?
Yes, thigh lift surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. Patients return home the same day once cleared by the medical team. You will need someone to drive you home and stay with you for the first twenty-four hours. Overnight stays are uncommon unless combined with other major procedures.
