Also known as a thighplasty, a thigh lift reshapes your thighs by reducing excess skin and fat. If you are concerned about the appearance of your thighs and diet and exercise have not been effective, this body contouring procedure can improve the proportion and contours of your upper legs. Contact the team at Greer Plastic Surgery to determine whether a thigh lift in Cleveland is right for you.

Reasons for a Thigh Lift

A thigh lift offers many aesthetic benefits, including smoother, tighter skin and muscles, and fewer stretch marks. It can also reduce friction rashes caused by your thighs rubbing together. 

It is important to note that this procedure alone cannot remove excess fat or improve skin elasticity. During an initial consultation at our clinic, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jennifer Greer will discuss the advantages of a thigh lift and other procedures that may address these concerns.

Candidates for a Thigh Lift

Our team will work with Cleveland-area patients to determine whether a thighplasty is suitable for achieving their aesthetic goals. Candidates for this body contouring procedure typically:

  • Have an excess of soft tissue along their inner or outer thighs
  • Are healthy, without any medical conditions that may impair healing
  • Are at a stable weight
  • Do not smoke
  • Have realistic goals for what the procedure can accomplish
  • Have a positive outlook and are internally motivated to pursue surgery

During your consultation, Dr. Greer will examine your health history and aesthetic goals to determine if this procedure is appropriate for you. The team at Greer Plastic Surgery is dedicated to providing personalized, high-quality care tailored to each patient’s individual needs.

How a Thigh Lift Works

Our team will discuss what you can expect during your thigh lift surgery in Cleveland so you feel confident and empowered throughout the process. We will also address any questions or concerns you may have.

During a thigh lift, you will receive anesthesia to ensure you remain comfortable and sedated during the procedure. Incisions will be made near the groin and along the inner thigh. After removing excess fat and skin, the remaining tissue will be repositioned to achieve a tighter look.

Dr. Greer will use sutures to secure tissue and smooth the skin over the new contours of your thighs. Finally, your incisions will be closed with stitches or skin adhesive.

Thigh Lift Results

During your initial consultation, Dr. Greer will explain the kind of results you can expect to see following your thighplasty. Our goal is to help you develop a realistic understanding of what your procedure can and cannot achieve.

Results from your thigh lift will be visible almost immediately after the procedure and will continue to develop over the following months. As you recover, you will notice improved skin quality and firmer contours.

Some scars will be visible but will fade over time. Though results should be long-lasting, particularly if you remain at a stable weight, it is natural to lose some firmness with age.
