What Is a Thigh Lift?
(Thighplasty)
The impact of time, gravity, weight fluctuations, and diminishing skin elasticity on the thighs often results in the unwelcome loss of tone. The consequences manifest as saggy or flabby thighs, whether from surgeries, lifestyle, or the natural aging process. Many women may avoid certain social engagements or recreational activities because they feel they cannot change that part of themselves.
Enter the realm of the thigh lift (Thighplasty), a transformative intervention designed to address excessive sagging and loose skin of the inner or outer thighs.
Liposuction alone may exacerbate loose skin, making a thigh lift an option. This comprehensive procedure seamlessly combines liposuction when required, excess skin removal, and tightening of loose skin. The result is a harmonious transformation that can restore a positive self-perception that empowers individuals to embrace life with renewed confidence.

When to Consider a Thigh Lift
A thigh lift may be right for you if you identify with any of the following:
- Unsatisfactory Thigh Appearance Despite Weight Loss. Despite successful weight loss through diet and exercise, dissatisfaction lingers with the appearance of your thighs, which may lack the desired tone.
- Excess Sagging Skin Post-Pregnancy or Weight Loss. If excess, sagging skin is a concern post-pregnancy, weight loss, or due to hereditary factors, a thigh lift becomes a compelling option. This procedure addresses the surplus skin, restoring a taut and youthful contour to your thighs.
- Loose Skin After Significant Weight Loss. Following substantial weight loss, the presence of loose, excess skin around the inner or outer thighs can be a persistent challenge. A thigh lift offers a tailored intervention, combining the removal of excess skin with liposuction, if needed, for a comprehensive rejuvenation.
- Genetic Predisposition to Excess Skin. A thigh lift presents an effective solution if you've always contended with excess skin or "saddlebags" despite being in excellent shape or maintaining a disciplined diet and exercise routine. The procedure addresses genetic predispositions, ensuring a sculpted and balanced thigh appearance.
In aesthetic excellence, a thigh lift is more than a cosmetic enhancement. It's a personalized solution to align your external image with your internal confidence.
Recovery & Downtime
Anticipate the typical postoperative experiences following a thigh lift procedure, understanding that temporary conditions such as swelling, bruising, pain, and tightness are common occurrences. These sensations are inherent aspects of the body's response to the surgical process and are integral to healing.
For optimal results, the use of compression garments is imperative and is to be maintained for a minimum of 6-8 weeks, with the possibility of an extended period for enhanced outcomes. These garments play a pivotal role in minimizing swelling and fostering optimal skin contraction, contributing significantly to the sculpted appearance of the thighs.
Dr. Torres strongly advocates a downtime of 14 days for recovery post-procedure. This period helps facilitate healing, allowing your body time to regenerate and restore.
During the initial 6 weeks, lifting restrictions will be in place, emphasizing the importance of cautious movement to safeguard the surgical outcome.

Yes. You will be sent home in a compression garment after your cosmetic surgery procedure, and it will need to be worn for a minimum of 6-8 weeks, sometimes longer, for even better results.
