Thigh lift is a body contouring procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the inner or outer thighs to create firmer, more proportionate, and youthful-looking legs.
A thigh lift, also known as thighplasty, is a surgical procedure that targets loose, sagging skin and stubborn fat in the inner or outer thighs. These issues often arise due to aging, genetics, or significant weight loss, leading to discomfort, skin irritation, and self-consciousness about leg appearance. The surgery aims to reshape the thighs by removing excess skin and fat, then tightening the remaining tissue to improve tone and contour. At our clinic, this procedure is performed by experienced plastic surgeons who customize the approach to each patient’s anatomy and goals. The result is smoother, firmer thighs that complement the body’s overall proportions and enhance confidence.
Thigh lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and can take between 2 to 4 hours depending on the extent of correction. Incisions are carefully placed along the groin crease or the inner thigh to minimize visibility. Recovery includes swelling, bruising, and temporary tightness in the thigh area, with most patients returning to daily routines within 10–14 days. Compression garments help reduce swelling and support healing. Whether done as part of a post-weight loss transformation or standalone body contouring, a thigh lift can dramatically improve the fit of clothing and overall lower body appearance.

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the nose for aesthetic enhancement or functional improvement. It can address concerns like:
A dorsal hump
Drooping or bulbous nasal tip
Crooked bridge
Overall facial imbalance
In many cases, rhinoplasty is also performed to improve nasal breathing, particularly when combined with correction of a deviated septum.
At our clinic, board-certified surgeons take a personalized, detail-oriented approach, analyzing each patient’s facial structure to deliver natural-looking and harmonious results.

Tightening: Remaining skin is repositioned and sutured to create a smoother contour.
Sculpting: Can be combined with liposuction to further refine the thigh shape and enhance symmetry.
Physical evaluation of thigh shape, skin elasticity, and fat deposits
Discussion of medical history, weight stability, and aesthetic goals
Customization of surgical approach (inner, outer, or vertical thigh lift)
Pre-operative instructions and preparation plan
Performed under general anesthesia
Incisions made in the groin, along the inner thigh, or vertically along the thigh depending on skin redundancy
Removal of excess skin and fat with potential liposuction for added contouring
Skin tightened and sutured to enhance leg tone and proportion
Surgery duration: approximately 2–4 hours
Hospital stay: usually same-day discharge or overnight observation
Swelling, bruising, and tightness expected for the first week
Compression garment worn for 4–6 weeks to support healing
Return to light activity: 10–14 days; strenuous exercise: 4–6 weeks
