Thigh Lift
Enhance Your Natural Beauty

We understand the impact sagging or loose skin on your thighs can have on your confidence and comfort. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Nadya Clarke is a leading plastics surgeon in DC, Maryland and Virginia specializing in thigh lift surgery, also known as thighplasty. Thighplasty is a procedure designed to contour and reshape your thighs, giving you smoother, firmer legs that you’ll love showing off.

What Is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the thighs to improve their shape and proportion. Whether due to aging, weight loss, or genetics, sagging skin can make it difficult to achieve the toned look you desire. A thigh lift can address these concerns by sculpting and tightening the inner and outer thighs for a more youthful appearance.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Thigh Lift?

You may be a suitable candidate for a thigh lift if you:

Have loose or sagging skin on your inner or outer thighs.

Struggle with stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise.

Maintain a stable weight and are in good overall health.

Have realistic expectations about the procedure and results.

Note: Thigh lift surgery is not a weight-loss procedure and is best suited for individuals near their ideal weight.

Benefits of Thigh Lift

Enhanced Contour: Achieve smoother, more proportionate thighs.

Increased Comfort: Eliminate excess skin that may cause discomfort or chafing.

Boosted Confidence: Feel more comfortable in fitted clothing, shorts, and swimwear.

Long-Lasting Results: Maintain your results with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.

What to Expect During the Procedure

We offer various types of thigh lift procedures to meet your unique needs:

Inner Thigh Lift: Focuses on contouring the inner thigh for a slimmer, more defined appearance.
Outer Thigh Lift: Targets the outer thigh area, often performed in combination with other body contouring procedures.
Vertical Thigh Lift: Ideal for significant skin laxity, this technique removes a larger amount of skin and fat from the thighs.
Mini Thigh Lift: A less invasive option for patients with minimal excess skin and fat.

The first step if you are considering a thigh lift is the consultation. Dr. Clarke will examine you and review your medical history, and create a personalized surgical plan for your specific needs.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia for your comfort.

Incisions are strategically placed along the inner thigh or groin to minimize visible scarring.

Excess skin is removed, and liposuction may be used to refine the contour.

Incisions are closed with sutures, and a compression garment is applied to support healing.

Recovery and Aftercare

Most patients can resume light activities within 3 weeks and return to normal routines in 6 weeks.

Temporary swelling, bruising, and discomfort are normal and will subside over time.

Following Dr. Clarke’s aftercare instructions will optimize your results and ensure proper healing.
