Toned Legs You’re Excited to Show Off

It can feel embarrassing to wear shorts when you have cellulite, loose skin, and unwanted fat on your thighs. Fortunately, a thigh lift can correct all of these issues—revealing smooth and defined legs that you can’t wait to show off in the summer. With a thigh lift, Dr. Wingate can:

  • Reveal smooth and shapely thighs
  • Reduce stretch marks and cellulite
  • Correct sagging skin
  • Tighten lax muscles

Types of Thigh Lifts

Mini Thigh Lift

The mini thigh lift corrects sagging skin on the upper inner thighs. This approach requires one small incision in your groin.

Inner Thigh Lift

The inner thigh lift addresses the inner part of your thigh only. It usually requires an incision that starts in your groin and extends down your thigh.

Outer Thigh Lift

The outer thigh lift firms the outer thigh only. This technique requires an incision that begins in your groin and wraps around your hips.

Spiral Thigh Lift

The spiral thigh lift tightens and tones the entire thigh area—including the front, back, and sides. This approach requires two incisions: one that begins at the groin and extends to the knee and one that runs from hip to hip.

The Surgery  

Dr. Wingate will perform your thigh lift under general anesthesia. Once the medication has taken effect, he will make an incision in your groin area. For more extensive thigh lifts, this incision may extend around the back of your thigh or around your hips.
 
Through that opening, Dr. Wingate will remove fat, tighten lax muscles, trim away excess skin, and reposition drooping tissue. He will also place sutures deep within your thighs to support your new contours. Once your beautiful new thighs have been shaped, he will close the incisions with sutures to complete the surgery.

The Recovery + Results

Your initial recovery period will last one to two weeks. Your new contours will be visible immediately but obscured by swelling and bruising. You should see the full results once all residual swelling has subsided, which usually occurs at six months.

Thigh Lift Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a candidate for a thigh lift?

Thigh lift candidates have typically lost a substantial amount of weight and are left with excess skin and tissue in the area. You should also be in good overall health and at a healthy and stable weight before the procedure.

Do I need a thigh lift or liposuction?

The thigh lift is appropriate if you want to correct sagging skin. Conversely, liposuction is an ideal solution for removing stubborn pockets of fat. In some cases, your thigh lift can combine both of these approaches.
