Thigh Lift

Many women are embarrassed by flabby skin and stubborn fat on their inner and outer thighs.

When this excess volume is unresponsive to diet and exercise alone, Dr. Schwartz and Dr. Stark will commonly recommend a thigh lift – a special cosmetic procedure designed to sculpt and contour thighs you’ll be proud to show off.

The benefits of a thigh lift

There are a variety of benefits associated with undergoing a thigh lift with Dr. Schwartz and Dr. Stark, including:

Slimmer and more attractive thighs The main benefit of a thigh lift is one of the primary reasons women seek out the procedure – it inevitably results in smoother, slimmer, and more attractive thighs.
Address hard-to-treat problems The reality is that some of the excess fat and skin on your thighs will never respond to diet and exercise – no matter how diligent you are. When this occurs, you have one option: remove it with a thigh lift.
Improved confidence For many women, their thighs are a great source of embarrassment, harming their confidence and preventing them from living their lives fully. When a smoother and slimmer leg is revealed after surgery, their self-esteem is often simultaneously renewed.

An overview of a thigh lift

Your surgical procedure

To begin your actual surgery, one of our board-certified anesthesiologists will administer general anesthesia to ensure your total comfort and safety. Dr. Schwartz and Dr. Stark will then remove excess volume from your inner thighs by making a precise incision in the groin area, taking special care to ensure it is well hidden within the natural contours of your body. From there, Dr. Schwartz and Dr. Stark will remove the excess fat and skin that exists along the inner area of your thighs. If you possess a substantial amount of excess volume in that area, he will also perform liposuction to ensure a more ideal outcome. They will then expertly smooth your skin to reveal a more youthful contour.

Outer thigh technique

If your area of concern is the outer thighs, Dr. Schwartz or Dr. Stark will use a specialized technique. Your surgeon will make a precise incision in the groin and around the hip. This incision will extend all the way down to the buttocks, allowing them to remove a substantial amount of excess fat and skin from the outer thigh area, as well as contour and sculpt the buttocks to ensure a slimmer and more lifted result.

Preparing for surgery

To prepare for thigh lift surgery, Dr. Schwartz and Dr. Stark will thoroughly explain what you can expect from the procedure during your initial consultation. During that time, they will carefully evaluate your unique needs and make recommendations to ensure an optimal outcome.

Final steps

Once your slim and youthful thighs have been achieved, Dr. Schwartz or Dr. Stark will carefully close the incisions with fine attention to detail to ensure the resulting scars are virtually imperceptible and easy to conceal with clothing.
