Thigh Lift
Naples, FL

What is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift is an outpatient surgical procedure used to remove excess skin and fat, tighten the skin, and recontour the upper 1/3 of the inner thigh, giving you the slimmer, firmer body you’re looking for. Thigh lift surgery can be performed in combination with liposuction.

Am I a Candidate for a Thigh Lift?

If your weight is relatively stable (within 10 pounds of your ideal weight) and you are committed to leading a healthy lifestyle, which includes proper nutrition and fitness, a thigh lift in our surgery center near Fort Myers may be right for you. Furthermore, if you have excess soft tissue along the inner thigh, you may be a good candidate and should schedule your thigh lift consultation at our Naples, FL office.

Is Thigh Lift Right for Me?

If you are bothered by loose or sagging skin on your thighs that does not improve with diet and exercise, a thigh lift may be the right solution for you. Ideal candidates typically want to improve the contour and tone of their upper legs, often after weight loss or aging changes. During your consultation at our Naples-area practice, we will help determine if a thigh lift aligns with your goals and overall health.

“Absolutely the best! Everyone is so kind and helpful. All questions and concerns addressed with no pressure to purchase any of their services or products. I can’t say enough good thing about Dr Prysi and his staff.”

Types of Thigh Lift

There are several types of thigh lift procedures, and the best one for you will depend on your specific concerns and body shape. Whether you need an inner thigh lift, a vertical thigh lift, or an outer thigh lift, we will guide you through your options during your consultation near Fort Myers. Each technique is designed to remove excess skin, improve leg contour, and help you feel more confident in your appearance.

Before Your Thigh Lift Procedure

Before your thigh lift, we will meet with you at our Naples, FL, office to review your medical history, perform a physical exam, and ensure you are fully prepared. You will receive detailed instructions on pre-surgery care, medications to avoid, and how to plan for your recovery. Our goal is to make sure you feel informed, comfortable, and confident every step of the way.

During Your Thigh Lift

At Prysi Cosmetic Surgery, thigh lift procedures begin with the administration of general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

Once the anesthesia sets in, Dr. Prysi will use a specific type of incision technique based on your concerns and the results you’re looking for. The first type is an inner thigh incision that starts at the groin, extends downward, and wraps around the back of the thigh.

Once the incisions are made, excess fat, tissue, and skin will be removed, and your thigh will be reshaped to give you the results you’re looking for. The remaining skin will also be gently pulled to provide a firmer appearance.

From there, sutures will be used to help form and support the new thigh shape, and then the incisions will be closed. During your recovery from thigh lift surgery, dressings/bandages will be applied to your incisions, and a small thin tube may be placed under the skin to drain out excess blood and fluid that may collect.

After Your Thigh Lift

You will likely have some swelling, bruising, and discomfort during the first few days of recovery, but those will diminish as you recover. Dr. Prysi will also give you instructions on how to take care of the surgical site, what medication to take to ensure the best healing process, what to avoid, and when to schedule your follow-up appointment.

You’ll want to avoid putting too much pressure on your incision sites, as well as moving your legs too much before your incisions are fully healed. You may be able to see some results almost immediately, but due to the swelling, it can take a few months for the final results to be fully visible. You will likely see scars, especially in the weeks and months right after surgery, but those will become less obvious as time goes by. The results will last five to ten years or more.

What Can Be Combined with a Thigh Lift?

For enhanced results, many patients choose to combine their thigh lift with other body contouring procedures. Depending on your goals, liposuction, a tummy tuck, or even a full Mommy Makeover can be performed alongside your thigh lift to create a more balanced, silhouette. We will work with you during your consultation to design a personalized treatment plan that addresses all of your concerns.

Thigh Lift with Liposuction

If you have both excess skin and stubborn fat on your thighs, combining liposuction with a thigh lift can offer smoother and more sculpted results. Liposuction helps remove localized fat deposits, while the thigh lift tightens and reshapes the area for a firmer look. This combination is often recommended for patients seeking a more complete transformation of the upper legs.

Mommy Makeover with Thigh Lift

A Mommy Makeover with a thigh lift is a popular option for women who want to restore their body after pregnancy or significant weight changes. This customized approach often includes a combination of procedures like breast enhancement, tummy tuck, and thigh lift to target multiple areas at once.
