Redefine Comfort and Confidence

Your thighs play an important role in both body proportion and daily movement. When excess skin or stubborn fat disrupts their contour, it can affect comfort as well as confidence. At PSG, our board-certified plastic surgeons perform thigh lift procedures to refine and tone the thigh area, restoring a smoother, more balanced silhouette. Whether you are seeking improved comfort after weight loss or wish to address age-related skin laxity, our team provides compassionate, patient-centered care focused on achieving natural-looking, proportionate results.

Dr. Oxley has done two procedures removing cancer for me. The first visit I had with him was in the surgery suite. He was professional, punctual and had just the right amount of humour for what was a stressful time for me. The follow up visit was on time and I was booked for a second surgery. The second surgery was again, punctual and professional with a touch of humour. I am in the process of booking a follow up to my latest surgery now. I would not hesitate to use Dr. Oxley again.

My highest recommendation for an outstanding doctor and person: Dr. Rizwan Mian. Dr. Mian has surgically removed cancer from my skin a number of times in recent years - all basal-cell carcinoma. He has always been the ultimate professional but with a kind and gentle manner that calms any anxiety a patient might be feeling. And when my most recently removed skin tested positive for melanoma I was anxious indeed! This time it was a spot on my cheek that would require a large amount of tissue removal, a biopsy of the closest lymph node, and skin grafting, all done under general anesthesia. But I need not have worried. Dr. Mian was reassuring and amazingly skillful, the surgery was successful, the melanoma contained, and the complicated skin graft has healed so well that the incision on my face is already starting to disappear. Thank you, Dr. Mian!

Can’t recommend Dr Genoway enough! I was looking for a reconstructive surgeon for 5 years, had several consultations with other doctors. As soon as I met Dr Genoway, I knew I found my doctor. She is knowledgeable, experienced, kind and caring. Dr Genoway listened to all of my concerns, gave me honest medical opinion, including to comeback in a few years as I am too young for a particular procedures. I felt comfortable and not rushed or pressured. Most importantly I felt safe and in good hands. Ended up having my postpartum reconstruction and 2 other procedures (long time dream) in one go. Recovery was fast considering the extent of the procedures. I didn’t need the prescribed pain medication at all. She just has this “light hand”. Most importantly, the results are better than expected! Natural looking, better version of me, but still me. I feel more confident and much happier in my own skin.

I was a novice to surgery and the staff here were amazing - very friendly and helpful. Dr. Lee was very calm and knowledgeable and answered my questions. Breast reduction surgery was scary to me but I have zero regrets. Barely any pain or discomfort after surgery and any back pain I had before is now gone. I walk straighter and clothes fit better. My self esteem has improved. Would recommend this office and the actual surgery to anyone considering it. It’s a game changer.

I am a breast cancer survivor. After my reconstruction surgery failed I was referred to Dr Imran Ratanshi. His kind demeanor and great sense of humor put me at ease immediately. I was in a very dark place emotionally due to the appearance of my body. Dr. Ratanshi preformed a deep inferior epigastric perforator surgery and it was a complete success. I believe Dr Ratanshi saved my life! A very skilled surgeon and a wonderful man.

Benefits of a Thigh Lift

A thigh lift can significantly improve both the appearance and comfort of the upper legs by removing excess skin and refining the overall contour. For patients experiencing loose skin or chafing, this procedure offers several important benefits:

  • Tightens sagging skin caused by aging or weight loss
  • Smooths and firms the upper legs
  • Reduces chafing and irritation between the thighs
  • Improves comfort and mobility
  • Enhances clothing fit and overall body proportion

This procedure can also complement other body contouring procedures, such as a tummy tuck or body lift, for more comprehensive results.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be an ideal candidate for a thigh lift if you:

  • Are at or near a stable, healthy weight
  • Have loose or excess skin on the thighs that does not respond to exercise
  • Do not smoke or can quit before and after surgery
  • Maintain realistic expectations about your results
  • Are in good general health and committed to a healthy lifestyle

Our surgeons will evaluate your skin elasticity, body composition, and personal goals during your consultation to determine whether a thigh lift is the most appropriate treatment for you. This personalized evaluation ensures the surgical plan is designed to achieve natural-looking results while prioritizing safety and long-term satisfaction.

Background media

The Thigh Lift Procedure

A thigh lift is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes two to three hours. The procedure begins with carefully placed incisions, usually concealed in the groin crease, which may extend down the inner thigh or around to the outer thigh, depending on the amount of correction required.

Through these incisions, your surgeon removes excess fat (often with liposuction) and trims redundant skin. The remaining skin is tightened and redraped to create a firmer, more toned appearance. Sutures are placed meticulously to minimize visible scarring, and most patients return home the same day under the care of a loved one.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from a thigh lift varies depending on the extent of the procedure, but most patients can expect:

  • Light activity within 7–10 days
  • Return to work in 2–3 weeks
  • Full recovery and exercise resumption in 4–6 weeks

You’ll be advised to wear compression garments to minimize swelling and support your new contours. Bruising and mild swelling are normal and typically subside within a few weeks. Final results become more apparent over several months, revealing smoother, firmer thighs that enhance your natural proportions.

Possible Risks

When performed by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon, thigh lift surgery is safe and effective. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, including:

  • Temporary swelling or bruising
  • Infection or delayed healing
  • Asymmetry or irregular contour
  • Numbness around incision sites
  • Scarring, which typically fades over time

Your surgeon will thoroughly discuss these considerations during your consultation to ensure you feel confident and informed before surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions Thigh Lift

Will I Have Scars After a Thigh Lift?

Yes, all surgical procedures leave scars, but incisions are placed in discreet areas such as the groin crease or inner thigh. Over time, scars fade and become less visible.

How Long Do Thigh Lift Results Last?

Results are long-lasting when paired with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Significant weight fluctuations or natural ageing may affect your results over time.

Can I Combine a Thigh Lift with Other Procedures?

Yes. Many patients combine thigh lift surgery with liposuction, tummy tuck, or body lift for a more comprehensive contouring outcome.

When Can I Exercise After a Thigh Lift?

You can begin light walking shortly after surgery, but strenuous activity and lower-body workouts should be avoided for 4–6 weeks or until cleared by your surgeon.

How Painful Is Recovery?

Most patients describe mild to moderate discomfort that can be managed with prescribed medications. Pain generally decreases significantly after the first week.
