With age or weight loss often comes the appearance of loose skin on the thighs that sags, which can cause men and women to feel the urge to cover up their legs. A thigh or leg lift is a surgical procedure designed to address this problem by reducing the excess skin and fat that causes the unattractive appearance, helping to achieve smoother, tighter, more attractive thighs.
Dr. John Bauer, board-certified body plastic surgeon at Alabama Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, performs the leg lift procedure with the patient under general anesthesia.
There are different techniques for a thigh lift, and the ideal method for your needs will be chosen based on your skin, the severity of your case, and your personal aesthetic goals. In some cases, a combination of these techniques may be used.
Two weeks of recovery is normal with a thigh lift surgery, and you may need to wear a compression garment for up to one week. As with any surgery, there will be some swelling, soreness, and bruising. During your consultation, any questions or concerns you have about the recovery process can be answered in detail.
Your results will become more and more visible as the skin tightens over the following weeks after surgery. Final results from a thigh lift are typically apparent at around six months post-surgery.

We take the time to fully inform you of what your procedure will entail, answering your every question and concern.
