Thighplasty, or thigh lift, is a procedure done to tighten the skin of the thigh and reduce sagging in the inner or outer thighs. This excess skin can result from weight loss, or from the natural effects of aging.

This procedure is performed under general anesthesia, but patients will be well enough to go home that same day. It involves the removal of excess fat and skin from the inner and outer thighs in order to create a tighter, more youthful appearance. Full recovery takes about 3 to 4 weeks.
