What Is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift in Jacksonville is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat, resulting in firmer, toned thighs. This procedure is especially beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or changes in body composition, leaving the thighs with sagging skin.

Inner and Outer Thigh Lifts:

  • Inner Thigh Lift: Removes excess skin and fat from the inner thigh, creating a smoother, firmer appearance. This may be performed with liposuction alone or direct surgical excision. If liposuction is used, BodyTite® may be incorporated as well to achieve an even firmer, more toned appearance.
  • Outer Thigh Lift: Targets sagging skin and fat on the outer thighs, commonly referred to as saddlebags. This procedure is often performed alongside a Brazilian butt lift to enhance the shape and contours of the thighs and hips.

How to Achieve a Thigh Gap

A thigh gap—the space between the upper thighs when standing straight—is not always achievable through diet and exercise alone. For some, a thigh lift offers the best solution for sculpting and contouring the inner thighs to achieve this aesthetic goal.

Benefits of a Thigh Lift

  • Eliminates loose, sagging skin that can cause chafing and discomfort.
  • Improves overall body contour, boosting confidence and self-image.
  • Reduces the risk of skin irritation and infections caused by excess moisture retention.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a Thigh Lift?

Ideal candidates for a thigh lift are individuals who have achieved significant weight loss and have loose, inelastic skin that cannot retract naturally. Candidates should be in good health and recognize that factors such as genetics, bone, and muscle mass influence realistic expectations for the procedure's outcomes.

What Is the Procedure for a Thigh Lift?

The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia at Coastal Cosmetic Center’s nationally accredited on-site surgery center, Coastal Surgery Center, in Jacksonville, FL.

The surgeons remove excess skin and fat, tightening the remaining tissue to create a more toned and sculpted appearance. Thigh lifts are often combined with other body contouring procedures, such as liposuction, BodyTite®, or a Brazilian butt lift.
