What is a
Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes the thighs by removing excess skin and fat. It is also called thighplasty or thigh reduction. The surgery usually takes 2 to 4 hours under general anesthesia. It makes the inner and outer thighs appear more proportionate and toned. Thigh lifts are often combined with liposuction and tummy tucks to achieve better cosmetic results and rejuvenate the lower body.

Types Of
Thigh Lift

Medial Thigh Lift

The medial thigh lift tightens loose tissue on the inner thighs. An incision is made in the groin area to remove excess skin and fat. This procedure may involve many different incision patterns depending on the patient’s needs. It is designed for people who have lost skin elasticity due to aging or significant weight loss. The result is a smoother, tighter appearance of the inner thighs.

Lateral Thigh Lift

A lateral thigh lift eliminates excess tissue in the outer thighs. Dr. Solomon makes an incision above the outer thigh (near the hip bone). Loose skin and fat are removed to create a contoured look. The unwanted tissue is basically squeezed and then excised. This surgery helps reshape the lower body after weight loss or aging.

Full Thigh Lift

The full thigh lift dramatically improves the look of the entire thigh area. It removes a large amount of hanging skin that causes thighs to appear saggy. An incision is made in the groin, extending vertically down to the knee. Using this long cut, Dr. Solomon eliminates unwanted tissue, tightens underlying structures, and redrapes the skin to make the thighs look smoother.

Spiral Thigh Lift

A spiral thigh lift removes a moderate amount of excess skin in the uppermost part of the thigh. The incision forms a spiral shape, starting at the groin and circling through the inner thigh to the buttocks crease (infragluteal fold). The cut follows the natural lines to hide scarring. Through this incision, Dr. Solomon removes skin and tightens the underlying tissue to achieve a lifting effect on the inner, front, and back of the thighs.

Mini Thigh Lift

The mini thigh lift is a less invasive procedure that targets the upper inner thighs. Smaller incisions are made to remove minimal tissue. This is an option for mild skin laxity on the thighs.

Consultation & Preparation
for Thigh Lift

A thigh lift procedure begins with an initial consultation between the patient and Dr. Solomon to discuss expectations and determine if the individual is a good candidate. The surgeon evaluates skin laxity and excess fat in the inner or outer thighs. He also discusses the incision placement, which is often in the groin crease area, and explains potential risks, such as bleeding, scarring, and changes in sensation.

The patient must get medical clearance from their primary doctor and stop smoking (if they do) for a month beforehand. The night before surgery, they should not eat or drink anything after midnight. Arrangements should be made for transportation and help during recovery, as sitting may be uncomfortable for 2-3 weeks. Following Dr. Solomon’s instructions, patients can prepare for the operation and achieve the best cosmetic results.

Thigh Lift
Procedure

General Anesthesia

Thigh lifts are typically performed under general anesthesia, which puts the patient completely asleep during the procedure. This allows for a more comfortable and relaxed experience.

Incisions

Dr. Solomon makes incisions in the groin or the outer thigh. The length and pattern of cuts depend on how much skin must be removed. The incisions allow the surgeon to lift, tighten, and contour the thighs.

Liposuction (Optional)

Liposuction may be used to remove small deposits of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. This sculpting technique helps create better contours in the thighs. The surgeon inserts a small tube (cannula) through tiny incisions to dislodge and suction out the unwanted fat.

Removal of Excess Skin

After liposuction (if performed), Dr. Solomon lifts the skin of the thighs, removing any excess tissue. The remaining skin is smoothed out and tightened. This procedure eliminates sagging and minimizes cellulite dimples, giving the thighs a more youthful shape.

Closing the Incisions

Once the lifting and contouring are complete, Dr. Solomon closes the incisions with sutures and applies dressings. Temporary drainage tubes may be inserted to prevent fluid buildup.

Add-On Procedure:
Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery that improves the appearance of the midsection. Excess skin and fat are removed from the middle and lower belly to tighten the muscles and fascia. This procedure flattens the stomach and defines the waistline. A tummy tuck can significantly enhance the overall figure as an add-on surgery to a thigh lift. These body contouring procedures complement one another for a more comprehensive reshaping.

Recovery After
Thigh Lift

After the surgery, patients must wear a compression garment for two weeks. The thigh area might have some swelling and soreness. However, the compression garment helps keep the inflammation down. Dr. Solomon may place a drainage tube to collect the accumulated fluids for a few days. In such cases, patients should keep track of the liquid in the bulb, which is removed during the next follow-up visit.

Patients can return to work within 7 to 10 days and resume most physical activity after 4 to 6 weeks. The scars will be mostly hidden in the body’s natural creases and become less visible over time. It may take up to a year for the patients to see the final results of the thigh lift. Dr. Solomon recommends using silicone sheets or special gels to promote scar healing and achieve the best look.

Candidates for
Thigh Lift Surgery

Thigh lift surgery is a popular body contouring procedure. When evaluating candidates, Dr. Solomon considers a wide range of factors, such as their overall health, level of sagging, severe medical conditions, skin elasticity, and motivation. Typical thigh lift patients include:

Benefits of
Thigh Lift

Understanding the potential benefits of a thigh lift can help patients determine if it is the right choice. The main advantages include:

Improves the appearance of thighs after significant weight loss or aging

The surgery eliminates unwanted skin and fat, helping patients achieve a slimmer figure.

Creates better proportions

Removing loose tissue makes the thighs look more balanced with the rest of the body.

Reduces chafing and irritation

This surgical procedure minimizes friction and discomfort during everyday activities.

Improves mobility and movement

Large amounts of excess thigh tissue may impede movement for some patients. The surgery removes the skin that can feel heavy and get in the way.

In addition, a thigh lift removes fat deposits and stretched-out tissue, improving the texture of the thighs.

Boosts self-confidence

Patients enhance their body image and self-esteem after this plastic surgery because it rejuvenates their figures.

Cost of
Thigh Lift in Tampa, FL

The cost of a thigh lift in Tampa ranges from $6,000 to $12,000, depending on the surgeon’s experience, the complexity of the procedure, and the facility where it is performed. Additional fees for anesthesia, surgical garments, and post-operative care may also contribute to the total price.
