Thigh Lift

Introduction to Thigh Lift

Thigh lift surgery is an excellent option for restoring a sculpted, youthful appearance to the upper legs for patients in the Sacramento area. By eliminating excess sagging skin, tissue, and fat, Dr. Lauren Daly can help you enhance your self-confidence and enjoy a broader range of clothing options. Whether you are struggling with changes in physique due to the natural aging process or you have recently lost a significant amount of weight, a thigh lift can beautifully reshape your lower body.

What is a Thigh Lift?

Loose skin and stubbo excess fat in the thigh area are common problems for men and women wanting to firm up and tone their bodies. While a healthy diet and exercise can help reduce unwanted fat to some extent, loose skin resulting from years of carrying excess weight and/or aging is not as easily addressed. If you’re looking to achieve firmer, more proportionate thighs and hips, then a surgical thigh lift may be right for you. A thigh lift, also known as a thighplasty, can help reshape your lower body contours by removing excess skin and fat from the i er thighs. The results are smoother skin, better-defined contours, and less irritation and chafing due to the excess skin rubbing together. Dr. Daly, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Folsom, CA, uses a customized approach to produce the best possible results for each patient. She is highly skilled in body contouring procedures, including thigh lift surgery.

Who Are the Best Candidates For a Thigh Lift?

The best candidates for thigh lifts are men and women who lead relatively healthy lifestyles but still have thighs that retain fat and/or loose skin despite diet and exercise. Many patients who have lost a significant amount of weight are good candidates for a post-weight loss thigh lift, while others choose thigh lift surgery to counteract some of the signs of natural aging, including cellulite and sagging skin.

A strategic thigh lift can help patients in the greater Sacramento area reclaim a positive self-image and enjoy a more streamlined, sculpted lower body appearance. Benefits of the procedure include the following:

  • Tightens lax skin
  • Removes stubbo fat
  • Enhances proportion and balance in the figure
  • Creates a more attractive, youthful-looking silhouette
  • Improves the fit of jeans, shorts, lingerie, and swimwear
  • Boosts self-confidence

What’s the First Step?

If you’re considering a thigh lift, scheduling a consultation with Dr. Lauren Daly in Folsom is the first step. During this time, you can discuss your goals and desires for surgery with the doctor to ensure that a thigh lift is the right solution for you. For example, if your appearance conce s are related more to excess fatty tissue rather than loose skin, you may see good results from liposuction rather than a full thigh lift. Dr. Daly will discuss your options in more detail and provide you with comprehensive pre- and post-operative guidance.

What to Expect on the Day of Thigh Lift Surgery

Thigh lift surgery typically takes 2-3 hours to complete and is performed under general anesthesia to ensure your maximum comfort and peace of mind. The procedure is commonly paired with liposuction to enhance your results and remove stubbo excess fat. Incisions are made in the natural creases of your body or in areas that are inconspicuous, typically in the groin area and along the i er thigh if more extensive skin removal is necessary. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining skin is lifted to a new position and sutured in place.
