Thigh Lift

A thigh lift is performed to elevate the lateral or side of the thigh to streamline the profile of the leg. It can be combined with a tummy tuck and/or a buttock lift. A more extensive procedure called a torsoplasty also includes a thigh lift. Since each patient’s needs and desires are different, Dr. Siegel can evaluate and address your individual needs during your private consutation.

During this procedure, an incision is placed on the hip in the bikini line, and the length depends on the amount of lift needed. Liposuction of the lateral thigh is performed to straighten the leg.

A thigh lift can usually be done in our outpatient surgery center. General anesthesia is used and administrated by our licensed M.D. or CRNA, in our fully accredited operating suite. It can be done as an outpatient procedure, and you go home with a family or friend who can help you recover for the next 24 hours. Patients wear a support garment for at least 2 weeks after surgery and usually return to work and normal activity in 10 days to 2 weeks. Optimal results help you achieve a slimmer profile in a swimsuit or shorts.

If you have additional questions, please email Dr. Siegel, or call our office at 757-547-2115.
