How Does an Inner Thigh Lift Work?

Inner thigh surgery is one of the body lift procedures performed regularly at Palm Beach Dermatology Group. A thigh lift is rarely the first option for those seeking a more toned body, but weight control and exercise are not always effective in reducing body fat and extra skin in the upper thighs.

An inner thigh lift removes fat pockets and excess skin to give the inner thighs a firmer, younger look. Making the thigh more proportionate to the rest of the lower body also allows many patients to feel more comfortable in shorts or bathing suits.

Inner thigh lifts are generally performed under general anesthesia. The time it takes, and the length and location of the incision, depend on how much extra skin is removed and other factors.

Recovery After an Inner Thigh Lift in South Florida

You can expect limited activities from one to three weeks following a thigh lift procedure. You will likely experience some pain, bruising, and swelling. However, we prescribe medications and treatments to reduce the discomfort.

You could see results immediately, although it will take some time for the swelling to go away so you can see the final results of your procedure. Following all aftercare instructions will be imperative to a positive outcome from your surgery.

Who Gets Inner Thigh Lift Surgery in South Florida?

Most of our thigh lift surgery patients are women who have experienced weight fluctuations due to pregnancy or aging. This area is impossible to spot reduce with exercise and diet and often remains an issue even when excess weight is lost in other areas of the body.

Those who underwent bariatric surgery or otherwise lost significant weight often have excess skin in this area, too. It can cause pain during exercise and chafing during daily activities. Inner thigh lift surgery is a solution to both of these concerns.

If you have excess fat or skin between your thighs, our team may be able to help.

When you undergo an inner thigh lift procedure at Palm Beach Dermatology Group, there are several issues it could address. They include:

• Restoring a natural appearance to the thigh contour: Sometimes, proper diet and exercise are insufficient to help your body look and feel great. Genetics, aging, and other factors can cause the lower body to appear disproportionate. This procedure restores the body contour you want.
• Reducing excess skin: Many people have excess loose skin in the inner thigh because of weight loss. Removing this skin allows for easier exercise, mobility, and a return to activities that were previously uncomfortable or impractical.
• Leaving you with smoother, younger-looking skin: When we perform liposuction surgery combined with excess skin removal, patients have tighter, more toned-looking legs than they did previously. This is one of the cosmetic goals of many patients who come to us for this procedure.

Where Are the Incisions for an Inner Thigh Lift?

There are several approaches our board-certified plastic surgeons use for inner thigh lifts. The technique depends on your needs. Some procedures require an incision in the groin and down the back of the thigh. Some patients have an incision made along their inseam, while others undergo a less invasive approach with only a small incision in the groin area.
