Thigh Lift

A thighplasty (thigh lift) is intended to lift and recontour thigh skin that is unattractively saggy and dimpled. Many candidates for thighplasty have excess skin as a result of weight loss, or simply because of the natural effects of aging.

Thighplasty removes excess fat and skin from the inner and outer thighs to create a tighter, firmer, more toned thigh appearance.
