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.
Your body, your goals — Personalized thigh lift surgery
At the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery, we believe every patient deserves results that reflect their unique goals, body, and lifestyle. No two bodies are alike—and no thigh lift procedure should be either.
Whether you’re looking to achieve a smoother, more toned thigh contour, remove excess skin after weight loss, or simply improve your comfort and mobility, our expert surgeons will customize your thigh lift to match your anatomy and vision. Your surgical plan will focus on removing excess skin, addressing stubborn fat, and tightening underlying tissue to create a firmer, more defined leg shape.Many patients experience not just a visible transformation, but also greater ease in movement, reduced skin irritation, and renewed confidence in how their legs look and feel.
From shorts and swimwear to everyday clothing, your new contours can help you feel more comfortable and confident in every setting.
The cost of a thigh lift at the South Florida Center starts at $2,999 (not including anesthesia and surgeon fees). Final pricing will vary depending on your specific surgical plan and any complementary procedures you may choose to enhance your results.
To help make your procedure more accessible, we offer flexible financing options through trusted third-party providers with a simple application process. Our team is here to guide you every step of the way.
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.
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
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.
Customize your thigh lift benefits
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.
Mejorar el ajuste de la ropa y la elección del vestuario
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.

Cirugía y proceso de recuperación
30 - 1 día antes de la intervención
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.
Día de la cirugía
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 día postoperatorio
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 semana postoperatoria
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 mes postoperatorio
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 meses después de la operación
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, also called thighplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper legs to improve shape and firmness. It’s especially beneficial for patients who have loose, hanging skin due to weight loss, aging, or genetic factors. The goal is to create smoother contours and better proportion between the thighs and the rest of the body. Results are both aesthetic and functional, reducing friction and discomfort.
Am I a good candidate for a thigh lift?
You may be a good candidate if you’re in overall good health, at or near a stable weight, and experience sagging skin on the thighs that does not respond to exercise. Ideal candidates are non-smokers or willing to stop smoking before surgery, as smoking can interfere with healing. Patients should also have realistic expectations about scarring and recovery. A personal consultation determines whether a thigh lift is appropriate for your anatomy and goals.
What areas can a thigh lift improve?
A thigh lift can address lax skin on the inner thighs, outer thighs, or both, depending on your needs. The procedure tightens skin, smooths irregularities, and improves overall leg contour. Many patients notice improved comfort when walking and exercising, in addition to cosmetic enhancement. Your thighplasty surgical plan will be customized to target the areas that bother you most.
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 lift surgeries take approximately two to three hours. The exact time depends on the extent of skin removal, whether both thighs are treated, and if the surgery is combined with other procedures. More complex cases may take longer. Your surgeon will review your personalized surgical plan in advance.
Is a thigh lift the same as liposuction?
No — while both procedures shape the thighs, they address different concerns. Liposuction removes excess fat but does not tighten loose skin, making it ineffective on its own for sagging tissue. A thigh lift removes excess skin and tightens the underlying structures. In many cases, combining both procedures delivers the most refined and natural-looking result.
Will I have scars after thigh lift surgery?
Yes, scarring is a normal part of thigh lift surgery since excess skin is removed. Surgeons place incisions strategically, often along natural creases such as the groin or inner thigh, to keep scars as discreet as possible. Over time, scars fade significantly and become less noticeable. Scar care instructions will be provided to optimize healing.
How long is recovery after a thigh lift?
Most patients return to light daily activities within two to three weeks after a thigh lift. Swelling, bruising, and tightness are common early on and gradually improve over time. Strenuous activity and exercise are usually restricted for six weeks. Final results continue to refine over several months as swelling resolves.
How should I prepare for my thigh lift?
Preparation for thighplasty includes maintaining a stable weight, stopping nicotine use, and avoiding certain medications or supplements that can increase bleeding. You’ll also need to arrange for help at home during the early recovery period. Your surgeon will provide detailed pre-operative instructions specific to your medical history. Following these guidelines helps ensure a smoother recovery and better results.
What results can I expect from a thigh lift?
Patients typically see smoother, firmer thighs with improved shape and proportion. Clothing fits more comfortably, and friction-related irritation often improves. While some swelling may temporarily mask results, improvements are visible early and continue to refine over time. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve the outcome long term.
Can a thigh lift be combined with other procedures?
Yes, thigh lifts are often combined with other body contouring procedures such as tummy tucks, liposuction, or buttock enhancement. Combining procedures can create more balanced, comprehensive results and reduce overall recovery time. Every patient is different, and your surgeon will determine what can be safely combined. Surgical recommendations are always personalized.
Will a thigh lift help with cellulite?
A thigh lift is not designed to eliminate cellulite, which is caused by the structure of connective tissue beneath the skin. However, tightening loose skin can create a smoother appearance and may reduce the visibility of cellulite in some cases. Results vary depending on skin quality and severity. Other treatments may be recommended if cellulite is a primary concern.
Is a thigh lift painful?
You will not feel pain during the thighplasty procedure due to anesthesia. After surgery, mild to moderate discomfort, tightness, and soreness are normal during the first few days. Pain is typically well-managed with prescribed medication and rest. Most patients report that discomfort improves significantly within the first week.
How much does a thigh lift cost in Fort Lauderdale?
The cost of a thigh lift in Fort Lauderdale varies based on the type of lift performed, extent of correction, and whether it’s combined with other procedures. At the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery, thigh lift surgery starts at $2,999, excluding anesthesia and surgeon fees. A personalized quote is provided during consultation. Financing options are available to help make treatment more accessible.
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.
