Thigh Lift
A thigh lift reshapes the thighs by reducing excess skin and contouring underlying fat pockets. Thigh lift surgery results in more proportioned contours and smoother skin.
For some people, fitness and weight loss efforts fail to achieve the goals of a more youthful, firmer and proportionate appearance of the thighs. If this is your situation, a surgical thigh lift may be right for you.
Improving Your Contour
You must be stable in your weight loss, be a non-smoker, have loose or excess skin in the inner or outer thigh region, and have no underlying medical conditions that will affect your outcome or increase the risk of surgery. During your initial consultation, Dr. Turner will review your thigh lift surgery and your thigh lift expectations to determine whether this procedure is the right fit for you.
