Thigh Lift in Washington, D.C.
Schedule Your Consultation
Excess skin and fat along the thighs can create the appearance of unsightly saddlebags.
Tissue accumulation along the thighs can prevent clothing from fitting attractively, and you may become uncomfortable doing many of the activities you love. Unwanted thigh skin is usually caused by genetics, pregnancy, or weight gain.
Who Can Benefit?
If you’re considering thigh lift surgery, you may fall into one of the following categories.
Excess Skin
If you are prone to skin laxity, you may find that you have excess skin along the thighs. This can cause painful irritation and discomfort for many women and men. Excess skin along the thighs can also create an unattractive appearance. A thigh lift can help improve skin laxity and create a firmer, more toned appearance.
Unwanted Fat
A poor thigh appearance is commonly caused by unwanted fat in addition to the excess skin. Patients with extra fat accumulation along the thighs can consider combining liposuction with their thigh lift. Treating excess fat can enhance your leg appearance by creating a slimmer contour and toned aesthetic.
Poor Appearance After Weight Loss
Patients who have achieved significant weight loss are the most common group of people who develop unsightly skin accumulation around the thighs. Choosing thigh lift after weight loss can help you feel more confident in your new body; eliminating the unwanted tissue will reveal the new contours of your body that you have been working hard to achieve.
Our providers are diverse in their backgrounds and experience but share a commitment to the highest aesthetic standards.

Natural Results
Our surgeons perform all procedures to yield the most natural-looking results possible. During your consultation, they will determine if an inner, outer, or combination thigh lift will provide you with the results you desire. Liposuction can be combined with all thigh lift procedures to create a subtle contour along the legs, and in some cases, restore a more natural transition between the thighs and hips.
Thinner Thighs
By eliminating excess tissue from along the thighs, you can achieve a thinner thigh appearance. Slimmer thighs can effectively reduce painful irritation caused by chafing. Some patients are also able to achieve the slight thigh gap that is currently in style. Thinner thighs can make you appear longer and more lithe.
Lower Body Contouring
A thigh lift can be performed in combination with other lower body contouring techniques. Lower body contouring is highly beneficial for patients following massive weight loss. In addition to the thighs, lower body contouring addresses excess skin on the abdomen, hips, and back. This technique reveals the lean and new body that you have worked hard to achieve.
Confidence
Skin laxity along any area of the body can negatively impact your self-esteem. When your clothing doesn’t fit properly or you can’t engage in your favorite activities, you can begin to lose confidence in your appearance. Choosing thigh lift surgery can restore your self-image and confidence in your body for better satisfaction in life.
Addressing Your Concerns
Recovery
It takes between four and six weeks to fully recover from thigh lift surgery. In the initial week, you will be required to rest and should avoid strenuous physical activities. After two weeks, you can slowly begin to resume your normal activities, but excess physical exertion, such as exercise, should only be done with your surgeon’s permission.
Scars
It is possible for a thigh lift to result in some slightly visible scarring, especially for patients who undergo a lateral (outer) thigh lift. Scarring is likely to fade over time.
Cost
Many factors affect the cost of thigh lift surgery. Geographical location, facility fees, anesthesia fees, and surgeon fees all alter the ultimate cost of your procedure. However, the price should only be one factor in choosing a surgeon. You should never sacrifice quality work by a board-certified plastic surgeon just to save some money; proven results matter. Financing is available if needed.
Pain
There is some slight pain associated with thigh lift surgery. Immediately following your surgery, it is normal to experience redness, bruising, swelling, and soreness. To control the pain, the doctor will prescribe an oral pain medication, and you should schedule downtime for at least a few days following your surgery.

Who is a good thigh lift candidate?
Any man or woman who is in good health and who has excess skin along their thighs may be a good candidate. You should have realistic expectations about your results.
