Thigh Lift Timonium, MD | Ricardo L. Rodriguez MD, LLC

What is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and improve the contour of the thighs. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or have loose, sagging skin on their inner or outer thighs.

Types of Thigh Lifts

• Inner Thigh Lift (Medial Thigh Lift)
• Outer Thigh Lift

Candidacy for Thigh Lift Surgery

Ideal candidates for a thigh lift typically have:

• Loose skin on inner or outer thighs
• Poor skin elasticity
• Excess skin following significant weight loss

Surgical Approach

Dr. Rodriguez performs thigh lift procedures in a QuadA accredited and Medicare Certified surgery center in Baltimore, Maryland. The procedure typically takes approximately 4 hours and utilizes IV sedation for patient comfort and safety.

Incision Placement

Inner Thigh Lift

The incision is strategically placed in the groin crease, carefully marked while the patient is standing to determine optimal skin removal.

Outer Thigh Lift

Incisions are made near the hip bone, positioned as low as possible to minimize visible scarring. When combined with a tummy tuck, the incision may extend from the existing tummy tuck scar.

Recovery and Aftercare

Thigh lift recovery typically follows this timeline:

• Week 1: Bed rest with minimal movement
• Days 7-14: Continued use of compression garment
• Weeks 3-4: Return to work and light activities
• Week 6: Resume normal activities

Potential Risks and Complications

• Infection
• Wound healing complications
• Skin numbness
• Asymmetry
