What Is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the thighs, resulting in a smoother, firmer, and more toned appearance. This procedure is particularly effective for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or have sagging skin due to aging. A thigh lift in Chicago at Fulcrum Aesthetics can enhance your overall body contour and improve your comfort and confidence by reshaping the thighs.

Thigh Lift Recovery & Results

Recovery from a thigh lift involves a few weeks of careful attention to ensure optimal results. Initially, you may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which are normal side effects of the surgery. Following our post-operative care instructions is important, including wearing a compression garment, avoiding strenuous activities, and keeping your legs elevated to reduce swelling.

Most patients can resume light activities within 1-2 weeks, but it may take several weeks before you can return to more strenuous activities. The full results of your thigh lift will become more apparent as the swelling subsides and the skin adjusts to its new contours. Regular follow-up appointments at our Chicago-based office will help monitor your recovery and ensure you achieve the best possible results.
