Thigh Lift
A thigh lift is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and tighten the upper legs by removing excess skin and fat. It is ideal for patients who have experienced weight loss, aging, or skin laxity that results in sagging or poorly defined thighs. The goal is to create smoother, firmer contours and improved overall body proportions.
During your consultation, Dr. Viezel-Mathieu will evaluate your anatomy and discuss your aesthetic goals. A personalized surgical plan will be developed to address the inner, outer, or full thigh area. In some cases, liposuction may be combined with the procedure to further refine results and enhance definition.
Details
Thigh lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically as a day procedure. The location and length of incisions depend on the amount of skin to be removed and your individual anatomy. Dr. Viezel-Mathieu takes care to place incisions in discreet areas, such as along the groin or inner thigh, to minimize visible scarring.
Recovery generally takes 2–4 weeks, with most patients able to resume light activities within the first few weeks. Swelling and mild discomfort are expected during early healing, and compression garments are often recommended to support the new contours.
A thigh lift provides long-lasting results, especially when maintained with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. The procedure can significantly enhance both appearance and confidence by restoring a firmer, more sculpted silhouette.
