Thigh Lift Surgery in Fort Myers, FL – Achieve Slimmer, Tighter Thighs

If loose, sagging skin on your thighs is preventing you from feeling confident in shorts or fitted clothing, a thigh lift may be the solution. Whether caused by weight loss, aging, or genetics, excess skin and fat can be frustrating and difficult to eliminate with diet and exercise alone.

At Farahmand Plastic Surgery in Fort Myers, FL, Dr. Audrey Farahmand, a board-certified female plastic surgeon, specializes in thigh lift surgery (thighplasty) to help patients achieve firmer, more contoured thighs.

A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the thighs to improve contour, tone, and shape. This procedure is often ideal for individuals who have:

• Loose, sagging skin on their thighs due to aging or weight loss
• Excess fat that does not respond to diet and exercise
• Inner thigh rubbing or discomfort when walking
• A desire for smoother, more toned legs

A thigh lift can dramatically improve the shape of your legs, making them look firmer and more youthful.

Each thigh lift procedure is tailored to the patient’s specific concerns. Dr. Farahmand will assess your skin elasticity, fat distribution, and cosmetic goals to determine the best technique for you.

Medial Thigh Lift (Inner Thigh Lift)

• Removes excess skin and fat from the upper inner thighs
• Incision is hidden along the groin crease
• Best for mild to moderate skin sagging

Vertical Thigh Lift (Extended Inner Thigh Lift)

• Ideal for individuals with significant weight loss
• Removes excess skin and fat from the entire inner thigh
• Incision extends from the groin to the knee along the inner thigh
• Provides dramatic reshaping of the thighs

Outer Thigh Lift (Lateral Thigh Lift)

• Removes sagging skin from the outer thighs and hips
• Incision is placed along the hip bone for a lifting effect
• Can be combined with a buttock lift or tummy tuck for full-body contouring

Liposuction With Thigh Lift

• Liposuction alone may be an option if you have good skin elasticity
• Can be combined with a thigh lift for additional fat reduction and sculpting

Dr. Farahmand will discuss which technique is best for your body during your consultation.

1. Consultation & Personalized Surgical Plan

During your consultation, Dr. Farahmand will:

• Review your medical history and cosmetic goals
• Examine your thighs to assess skin laxity and fat distribution
• Recommend the best surgical technique for your needs
• Explain the procedure, recovery time, and expected results

2. Thigh Lift Surgery – How It’s Performed

• Anesthesia: General anesthesia is used for comfort
• Incision Placement: Incisions are made in concealed areas for minimal visibility
• Fat & Skin Removal: Excess skin and fat are removed, and liposuction may be performed for additional sculpting
• Tissue Tightening: The remaining skin is pulled tight and secured with sutures
• Compression Garment Applied: Helps with swelling and supports healing

Surgery Time: 2 to 4 hours, depending on the technique

• Week 1: Patients should rest and avoid strenuous movement
• Week 2-3: Most swelling decreases, and light walking is encouraged
• Week 4-6: Stitches are fully healed, and normal activities can resume
• Final Results: Become visible in 3-6 months as the skin settles

Patients are required to wear compression garments for 3 weeks to support healing and reduce swelling. If surgical drains are placed, they will be removed once drainage decreases significantly.

No heavy lifting or high-impact activities for at least 6 weeks.

Thigh Lift vs. Liposuction: Which Is Right for You?

• If you have loose, excess skin, a thigh lift is necessary to tighten and contour the area
• If you have firm skin but stubborn fat, liposuction alone may be an option
• Some patients benefit from a combination of both procedures for optimal results
