What a Thigh Lift Involves

A thigh lift is a surgical body contouring procedure designed to smooth, firm, and reshape the thighs by addressing both skin and fat. By tightening underlying tissue and removing excess skin, this treatment restores youthful contours. It specifically addresses:

  • Sagging or loose thigh skin caused by aging or weight loss
  • Localized fat deposits that don’t respond to diet or exercise
  • Thigh discomfort caused by friction or excess skin
  • Uneven leg shape that disrupts body proportion

Who Makes a Good Candidate?

The consultation step is crucial in determining whether a thigh lift in Orlando at Clark Institute for Aesthetics aligns with your goals. Ideal candidates are non-smokers in good health who maintain a stable weight, with sufficient skin elasticity to support long-term results. Our surgeons carefully evaluate your medical history to ensure the best possible outcome.

What to Expect During Your Thigh Lift

  1. Anesthesia is administered for comfort, either general or local anesthesia with sedation.
  2. Incisions are placed strategically along the groin or inner thigh crease.
  3. Excess fat and skin are removed, and underlying tissue is tightened.
  4. The thigh contour is reshaped to match your body goals.
  5. Sutures or adhesives are used to close the incisions, and a compression garment is applied.

Recovery and Results After Surgery

Recovery varies depending on your body and the extent of your procedure. Expect swelling, bruising, and the need to wear compression garments for several weeks. Most patients return to work within two to three weeks, with final results becoming visible around three to six months.
