What is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift removes excess skin and tightens tissue in the inner or outer thigh, most commonly requested after significant weight loss or due to age-related skin laxity. Dr. Salim AYOUB tailors the technique — inner thigh lift, outer thigh lift, or a combination — to the pattern and degree of skin excess present.
Healing after a thigh lift (thighplasty) typically allows patients to return to a sedentary desk job within 2 to 3 weeks. However, because the thighs bear stress during simple movements like walking and sitting, a full structural recovery takes about 6 to 8 weeks.
