As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity and begins to sag, and the same is true for the skin on our thighs. Apart from aging, there are a number of other factors that can contribute to sagging skin, including:
- Repeated periods of weight loss/gain
- Loss of bone density and muscle mass
- Rapid weight loss
- Excessive sun exposure
In cases where the skin on your thighs cannot be tightened with diet and exercise, plastic surgery may be the answer. A thigh lift is a safe and beneficial body contouring procedure that is proven to deliver a long-lasting and pleasing solution.

What is a Medial Thigh Lift?

- Remove excess tissue

Is a Thigh Lift The Right Body Contouring Procedure For Me?
If weight control efforts such as diet and exercise have not achieved your body contouring goals, then a medial thigh lift may help you achieve a firmer, more youthful appearance.
Suitable candidates for this plastic surgery include patients who are:
- In good overall health
- Non-smokers
- Within a few pounds of their ideal weight
- Healthy with no medical conditions that can impair healing or increase risk of surgery
- Committed to leading a healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition and fitness
- Worried about excess soft tissue along the inner (medial) thigh region and/or the outer (lateral) thigh
It’s important to note that every case is unique and upon examination during your initial consultation, your plastic surgeon will assess your suitability for this body contouring procedure.
