Thigh Lift in Atlanta, GA | DiFrancesco Plastic Surgery

What Is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift in Atlanta is designed to improve and smooth the contour and tone of the inner and outer thighs. Dr. DiFrancesco reshapes excess fat and hanging skin with strategic incisions, reducing skin laxity and resulting in improved lower body contours.

Good Candidates for Thigh Lift

Ideal candidates for a thigh lift are individuals experiencing:

• Excess skin on inner or outer thighs
• Stubborn fat pockets resistant to diet and exercise
• Sagging skin after significant weight loss
• Stable body weight and realistic expectations

Thigh Lift Options

Medial (Inner) Thigh Lift

Inner thigh lifts contour the thigh by lifting and removing excess skin. The incision is strategically placed in the groin area to correct mild to moderate skin laxity, often combined with liposuction for enhanced results.

Lateral (Outer) Thigh Lift

The outer thigh lift focuses on reshaping the outer thighs and can improve buttock appearance. Incisions may extend from the groin to the upper buttock, with scars carefully positioned to be hidden by clothing.

Thigh Lift Procedure

Thigh lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia, typically lasting several hours. Dr. DiFrancesco uses precise surgical techniques to remove excess skin and fat, creating smoother, more contoured thighs.

Recovery and Results

Most patients resume everyday activities within one week, with full recovery taking four to six weeks. Compression garments support healing, and results gradually become more refined as swelling subsides.

Combination Procedures

Thigh lifts can be combined with other body contouring procedures like tummy tucks, liposuction, or buttock enhancement for comprehensive body sculpting.

Cost Considerations

Thigh lift costs vary based on procedure complexity and potential combination treatments. A personalized consultation will provide a detailed cost estimate tailored to individual aesthetic goals.
