  • Recovery – Back to work in 2-4 weeks – strenuous exercise and activities such as sports must be restricted for six to eight weeks.
  • Fading of Scars – Several months to one year
  • Duration of ResultsThigh lift results may last several years, although gravity, aging, and weight changes may affect your results.

The Procedure

An incision in the groin crease is used to excise the redundant skin and fat. This excision could extend all the way around the leg, pulling up three to four inches of thigh skin and fat, thus reducing the sagging and possibly improving the “cellulite” and/or bubbling appearance of the skin of the upper thigh. Sometimes, a vertical incision is used, which extends from the inside of the thigh from the groin to above the knee.
