Many individuals want lean and sculpted thighs that look proportionate with the rest of their body. Although aging, gravity, changes in weight, pregnancy, significant weight loss, and loss of skin elasticity can make the hip, thighs, and/or buttock areas look less contoured and defined. 

The thigh lift, also known as a thighplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the thigh to create a tighter, more toned thigh appearance. If your thigh skin is saggy, flabby, and/or dimpled in appearance, you may benefit from this procedure. The thigh lift can dramatically improve the appearance of your thigh skin irregularities and contour, giving you more slender and proportionate legs. This operation is performed on both men and women. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Cosmetic Surgery National Data Bank, the number of thighplasty procedures performed has increased 344 percent in the last seven years.

For many patients, the body reflects the aging process. Having a thigh lift can improve the appearance of the thighs and buttock areas. For individuals who have lost significant weight or have had bariatric surgery, they find themselves dealing with another problem, excess tissue and skin that can cause rash and infection. If you feel self-conscious about your lower body appearance, you may want to look into this procedure. 

After thigh lift surgery, many patients experience an immediate improvement in self-esteem and self-confidence. They also feel more comfortable trying new clothing styles and are less self-conscious at the gym, at the pool, or at the beach.

In many instances, Newport Beach Dr. Agha performs liposuction before the actual lift to reduce the appearance of larger thighs. A thigh lift can also be performed with other body contouring procedures, such as an abdominoplasty, buttock enhancement, or a lower body lift. Click Here to view our Thigh Lift Gallery.
