Claim a Smoother, More Contoured Thigh

Whether it's a result of significant weight loss or the natural loosening of skin over time, excess tissue along the thighs can affect comfort, clothing fit, and confidence, particularly in warmer months or activewear. Because our team includes board-certified/eligible surgeons with decades of combined experience in body procedures, we approach each and every thigh lift in Jackson, MS, with close attention to proportion and scar placement.

What Is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the inner or outer thigh, resulting in a smoother, more contoured shape. Depending on your anatomy and goals, a thigh lift may focus on the inner thigh, the outer thigh, or both, and is often paired with liposuction for further refinement.

The Benefits of a Thigh Lift

Removed Excess Skin: The procedure addresses loose or sagging skin that doesn't respond to exercise.
Improved Comfort: Removing excess tissue can resolve chafing and irritation that often comes with it.
Improved Contour: Many patients see a significant improvement in the overall shape and tone of their thighs.
Combination Potential: A thigh lift can be paired with liposuction for more complete contouring.
Long-Lasting Results: With a stable weight, results from a thigh lift are generally long-lasting.

Is a Thigh Lift Right for Me?

A thigh lift is a good option for patients with loose or sagging skin along the inner or outer thigh, often following weight loss or as a result of the skin's natural loss of elasticity over time. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your thighs and goals to determine the right surgical approach.

The Thigh Lift Process What to Expect

1. Private Consultation

We evaluate your thigh skin and tissue and discuss your goals for the area.

2. Personalized Surgical Plan

We map out the incision pattern and technique suited to your anatomy and desired outcome.

3. Procedure Day

Surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes one to three hours, depending on the extent of correction needed.

4. Initial Healing Phase

You'll experience swelling and restricted mobility in the days following surgery, with initial improvement over the first one to two weeks.

Your Thigh Lift Results and Recovery

Most patients take two weeks off from work, with strenuous exercise and heavy lifting restricted for several weeks longer. Swelling gradually subsides, and the final contour becomes clearer as healing progresses over the following months. Results are considered long-lasting with a stable weight.

Thigh Lift Frequently Asked Questions

Will I have visible scarring after a thigh lift?

Incision placement depends on whether the inner or outer thigh is being addressed. Scars generally fade significantly over time, though some visibility is expected.

How is a thigh lift different from liposuction alone?

Liposuction removes excess fat but does not address loose skin, while a thigh lift removes and tightens excess skin. Many patients may benefit from combining both procedures.

How long before I can return to normal activity?

Most patients return to work within two weeks, with a gradual return to exercise and strenuous activity over the following weeks.

Will my results last if I gain or lose weight afterward?

Significant weight fluctuations can affect your results. We recommend maintaining a stable weight to help preserve your outcome.

Can a thigh lift address both the inner and outer thigh?

Yes. Depending on your anatomy and goals, we can address one or both areas as part of your customized surgical plan.

Can a thigh lift be combined with other procedures?

Yes. A thigh lift is often combined with other body procedures, such as a body lift or arm lift, particularly for patients who have experienced significant weight loss.

Is financing available for a thigh lift?

Yes. We offer financing options for patients interested in learning more. Ask our team during your consultation for details.
