About Thigh Lift Surgery

Having toned, slender inner and outer thighs can change your appearance and self-confidence. Our plastic surgeons know how difficult it can be to achieve your desired physique by diet and exercise alone. Sometimes, these methods can prove to be ineffective and discouraging. That's why we offer a way to gain your confidence back and achieve your goals through a thigh lift operation at The Face & Body Center. This procedure performed at our Flowood, MS practice takes the loose and excess skin from weight loss or age on the inner/outer thighs and tighten it for a smooth, contoured look. Contact our office to learn more. 

Best Candidates

The ideal candidates for inner and outer surgical skin tightening of the thigh are:

  • Men and women who have stretch marks and loose skin on their inner and/or outer thigh
  • Men and women who have had weight loss surgery, maintained their goal weight for at least a year, and desire removal of the excess skin and remaining fat deposits
  • Men and women who are in overall good health and who do not smoke

I'm always beyond satisfied by Dr. Brantley and his wonderful staff - I have had a few different procedures by Dr. Brantley over the last few years including a breast aug, mini tummy tuck, mini thigh lift, and lipo, and I have been thrilled with the results every time! In my opinion, he is the best PS in the Southeast US!

My breasts are beautiful, my stomach is flat, and incisions are healing - This may be too long, it's hard to sum everything up in a short paragraph.My journey with Dr. Brantley and his staff started on January 27, 2022, this was also my 51st birthday.After years of dieting, I finally found what worked and I made the decision to have my consult. Let me just say it has been one of the best decisions of my life. I was so nervous when Dr. Brantley walked in, I told him I feel like I may throw up, when asked why and I told him I had been wanting this for so long that I was scared. He and his staff made me feel so comfortable that my nerves melted away. I also knew he was the doctor for me when he said he liked tattoos.I decided I wanted the tummy tuck, lipo, breast lift with implants and the inner thigh lift. It does seem like a lot at one time but he reassured me that it could be done and I felt I could do it. I told him I wanted to lose a few more pounds and he said that didn't matter, what mattered was what I saw in the mirror. What he couldn't know at the time that I cried when I looked in the mirror, I was so unhappy with the fat and skin I could see hanging and the breast that were hanging low and resting on my stomach. He did warn me that if my numbers dropped the thighs would not be done, I was so determined I upped my cardio daily to make sure my numbers stayed good. Tuesday July 5th was the day that changed my outlook on life. I was in surgery for 5 1/2 hours and everything was done. To be honest, I do not remember much about that day after I was released. I remember the day after because I had to go to the bathroom all the time with help. Yes, I had pain, I was expecting it but with the medication it was manageable. On Thursday when Mom came to get me up for the bathroom, I was coming out the door myself (I did get in trouble for that) but I was ready to get up and move. After that I was on a roll, I'm not going to say it was a piece a cake, but it was a lot easier than I was told it would be. On the third week, I was already back working part time and getting back to normal life. I did rest when needed which was hard because I am not a patient person, when I mentioned that to Dr. Brantley, he ask how that was working out for me. Let's just say it was a learning experience for me. With all this being said just know I am 7 weeks post op now. I am back to walking my 2 miles a day and have been for 2 weeks. My incisions are healing beautifully because the scar cream really does work. I kept weekly pics of my healing and I have been looking back over my journey. I may not be through with it because I may have something done with my stretch marks from the kids and yoyo dieting. Last thing I can say is I know longer feel sad and cry when I see the mirror, I walk around proud of the way I look. My breast are beautiful, my stomach is flat and my inner thighs don't look like cottage cheese. I cannot say enough about Dr. Brantley and his staff, they are all wonderful, caring people who will help in any way they can. A big shout out to Macala who I emailed every week since my surgery, she has been great. Thank you for everything, Angela Jones

What to Expect

Thigh lift surgery is performed quite often by plastic surgeons, especially now with so many successful weight loss surgery patients. This surgery can be performed in an outpatient setting, but if it is combined with other procedures, an overnight stay may be necessary. The incision for the thigh lift varies from patient to patient depending on what type of thigh lift is being performed (medial, lateral, etc.), as well as the amount, location, and severity of the loose skin being removed. This cosmetic procedure is performed with general anesthesia and usually takes 2 – 4 hours in the operating room. As discussed in the consultation, you can expect there to be swelling, bruising, and some pain after surgery — all of which can be managed accordingly.

Anticipated Results

After the thigh lift, you can expect to see smoother skin with less dimpling or visible cellulite. As each patient’s surgery is different, it is hard to estimate how long the recovery may be. It is recommended to follow all of the aftercare instructions and scar treatments as prescribed by your surgeon. You should wait to resume strenuous physical activity until released from your surgeon at the follow-up appointments.

Recontour Your Thighs

If you want a slimmer, more flattering figure and have tried to lose the weight on the thighs with a healthy diet and exercise, a thigh lift surgery may help get you to your goals. We will work with you to create an individualized treatment plan that will give you toned thighs. Schedule a consultation with our office today, and learn how a thigh lift or other nonsurgical skin rejuvenation treatments can revive your skin.

How much does thigh lift surgery cost?

The cost of thigh lift surgery incorporates a variety of expenses, including the surgical facility, test expenses, anesthesia, and more. After developing your custom thigh lift plan, we'll provide a cost estimate. The Face & Body Center of Plastic and Hand Surgery Associates can help you find low-interest medical financing that will help make your thigh lift more affordable.

Will a thigh lift do anything for cellulite or stretch marks?

Thigh lift surgery is the best way to slim the contour and improve the appearance of your legs. A thigh lift can help improve the appearance of cellulite and other skin irregularities (like stretch marks) by tightening the skin and removing unwanted fat pockets. If you're concerned about stretch marks or cellulite, let our team know during your consultation so he can customize your treatment plan to match all of your goals.

How long will my results last?

Your thigh lift results can potentially last for a long time if you're willing to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including proper diet and regular exercise. We recommend that you work to get yourself near your ideal weight before surgery so it's easier to keep up your results. You might notice a difference in your results if you gain a significant amount of weight or become pregnant. We'll discuss steps you can take after your thigh lift to continue enjoying your sculpted figure.

Can I combine my thigh lift with other surgeries?

Absolutely — many patients at The Face & Body Center choose to pair their thigh lift with other body contouring procedures, such as a tummy tuck or butt lift. Thighplasties are also a common part of a mommy makeover or after weight loss surgery. In your consultation, talk to our team about your desired look so we can develop a treatment plan that gives you the best results.
