Thigh Lift

What is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift is a surgical procedure to remove skin and fat from the thighs to tighten the skin and improve the contour of the legs. T. lift surgery can remarkably improve the appearance of your legs. The combined effects of aging, gravity, fluctuations in weight and a loss of skin elasticity all contribute to loss of tone in the thighs as we age.

With a T. lift, you can expect better-proportioned contours of the thighs and lower body. By reducing excess skin and fat, the procedure reshapes the upper leg, resulting in a leaner, smoother appearance. Often performed in combination with liposuction and other body lifts, the results of a thigh lift are visible almost immediately and are long-lasting when maintaining a relatively stable weight and general fitness.

Perhaps the most common reason for a T. lift is to help reshape and smooth the thigh area after losing weight. Some people also opt for the procedure to gain more shapeliness and to feel more comfortable wearing swimsuits, shorts, and jeans.
