What Is It?

A thigh lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the inner or outer thighs. The goal is to create a more toned, balanced appearance that aligns with the rest of your body.

During your consultation, Dr. Matthew Isakson explains the available techniques, incision placement, and expected recovery. He takes time to listen to your priorities and ensures that you feel comfortable with each decision.

  • Remove loose or sagging skin on your thighs
  • Improve overall leg contour and proportion

A thigh lift can feel freeing. You may find yourself more comfortable moving, dressing, and simply enjoying everyday life.

Thigh Lift FAQs

  • How Do I Know The Procedure Is Right for Me?

    A thigh lift may be a good option if you have loose skin, sagging tissue, or areas of stubborn fat that do not respond to exercise. Many patients consider this procedure after weight loss or simply because aging has changed the tone of their legs. During your consultation, Dr. Isakson will assess your anatomy and help you understand whether a thigh lift aligns with your goals.

  • Will It Remove Fat as Well as Skin?

    Yes. While the primary focus of a thigh lift is removing loose skin and reshaping the leg, liposuction is often used to refine the contour and address stubborn fat. Dr. Isakson will help you determine whether liposuction alone or a combination approach will give you the best and most natural-looking outcome.

  • What Will My Scars Look Like?

    Scars depend on the technique used and the amount of skin removed. Incisions are typically placed along the inner thigh or groin crease to keep them as concealed as possible. Scars fade over time, and most patients find the improved shape and comfort far outweigh the presence of scars.

  • How Long Is Recovery?

    You will need several weeks before returning to normal routines. Swelling and tightness are common at first and gradually improve as you heal. Dr. Isakson provides detailed instructions and schedules regular follow-up visits to make sure you feel supported every step of the way.

  • Can I Combine Procedures?

    Yes. Many patients choose to pair a thigh lift with liposuction, a tummy tuck, or other body contouring procedures, especially after weight loss. Combining procedures can help create more balanced results. Dr. Isakson will help you design a plan that is both safe and effective.

  • Will Exercise Help Maintain My Results?

    Absolutely. Once you are fully healed, maintaining a stable weight and staying active can help keep your thighs looking smooth and toned. The skin removed during surgery will not return, and healthy habits will support your long-term results.
