Trim Thighs Ahead

You may be wondering what some of the benefits of a thigh lift are. Here are just a few:

Improved Thigh Contour

A thigh lift effectively removes excess skin and fat from the thighs, resulting in a more contoured and sculpted appearance.

Enhanced Aesthetic Appearance

Sagging or loose skin on the thighs can make wearing certain clothing uncomfortable and be a source of self-consciousness. A thigh lift can help you achieve a smoother, more youthful thigh appearance, making you feel more confident.

Increased Mobility

Excess skin on the thighs can restrict movement and make certain activities uncomfortable. After a thigh lift, you may experience increased mobility and comfort in daily tasks and exercises.

Reduction of Skin Irritation

The Thigh Lift Procedure

On your surgery day, you’ll check in to our in-house surgery center, where our team will ensure you are comfortable and prepared. Here's an overview of what the thigh lift procedure entails:

1. Anesthesia

The thigh lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Dr. Rios and the anesthesia team will monitor your vital signs throughout the surgery.

2. Incisions

The placement and length of incisions for a thigh lift can vary based on the specific areas you want to address. Common incision locations include the inner thigh, outer thigh, or a combination of both. Dr. Rios carefully plans incisions to minimize visible scarring.

3. Tissue Removal

After making the incisions, Dr. Rios removes excess skin and fat from the thighs. Liposuction may also be used to refine the thigh contours further. The remaining skin is then repositioned for a smoother appearance.

4. Incision Closure

Dr. Rios closes the incisions with sutures and may use surgical dressings and compression garments to support the healing process and reduce swelling.

Recovery + Enjoying Your Thinned Thighs

After the surgery, you will be closely monitored during the initial recovery period. You may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which is normal and can be managed with prescribed medications. It's important to follow post-operative instructions provided by Dr. Rios to optimize healing.

Over time, as swelling subsides and the body heals, you'll notice a significant improvement in the contour and appearance of your thighs. Your thighs will appear more toned and youthful, boosting self-confidence and body image.
