Thigh Lift to Reduce Sagging
Hilton Head Island | Bluffton
Struggling With Loose Skin or Lack of Definition in Your Thighs?
Significant weight loss, aging, and genetics can lead to loose skin and stubborn fat in the thighs, making it difficult to achieve firm, contoured legs through diet and exercise alone. A Thigh Lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat, creating smoother, more sculpted thighs that complement your overall body shape.
Why Consider a Thigh Lift?
- Removes excess skin and fat for a firmer, more contoured look
- Smooths and reshapes the inner and outer thighs
- Improves proportions for a more balanced body shape
- Reduces skin irritation and discomfort caused by excess skin
How Does the Procedure Work?
- Incisions are strategically placed in the groin or along the inner thigh for discreet scarring
- Excess skin and fat are removed to create a tighter, smoother contour
- Tissues are reshaped and secured, improving thigh definition
- Some patients may benefit from a minimal incision thigh lift, which only requires a groin incision
Your surgeon will determine the best approach based on your goals and the amount of excess skin.
Recovery & Results
- Small drainage tubes may be placed to reduce fluid buildup
- A compression garment will help minimize swelling and support healing
- Mild discomfort is expected but can be managed with oral pain medication
- Most patients can return to normal activities within a few weeks
- Following post-operative care instructions is essential for optimal healing
Results will become more noticeable as swelling subsides, revealing smoother, firmer, and more sculpted thighs.

FAQS About Thigh Lift: Reshape & Refine Your Legs
Recovery varies by individual and the extent of the procedure. Generally, patients can expect to return to light activities within 2 to 3 weeks. Swelling and bruising may subside over several weeks, with full recovery taking a few months. Wearing a compression garment during recovery helps minimize swelling and supports the new thigh contours.
Incisions are typically placed in discreet locations, such as the groin area, to minimize visible scarring. While scars are permanent, they usually fade over time and become less noticeable. Proper post-operative care and following your surgeon's guidelines can further reduce scarring.
The results of a thigh lift can be long-lasting, especially when maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. However, natural aging and significant weight fluctuations can affect the longevity of the results. Regular exercise and a balanced diet can help preserve the improved thigh contours.
Thigh lift surgery is typically considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance. However, if excess skin causes medical issues like rashes or infections, insurance may provide partial coverage. It's advisable to consult with your insurance provider and surgeon to determine eligibility.
