Thigh Lift in Seattle

Flabby, sagging thigh skin and tissue are one of the unfortunate signs of aging. This cosmetic concern is caused by natural aging, as well as the loss of elasticity due to genetics, weight gain or weight loss, and chronic UV exposure. Lax, drooping skin and excess fat deposits can be corrected by our plastic surgeons with a thigh lift or a mini thigh lift.

Types of Thigh Lifts

When you are considering a Seattle thigh lift, you probably have a specific area in mind that you want to address. During your initial consultation, our team can create a personalized treatment plan to address your goals that may include one or more of the following options:

Medial (Inner Thigh) Thigh Lift

The medial thigh lift is the procedure to opt for if you want to achieve an inner thigh gap. In this procedure, your plastic surgeon will precisely and carefully remove excess skin and fat on the inner thigh. This will result in slim, trim, and toned thighs that you can enjoy permanently.

Lateral (Outer Thigh) Thigh Lift

The lateral thigh lift, which targets the outer thigh area, can result in the perfect hourglass figure. Your surgeon will remove excess fat and skin while simultaneously contouring the buttocks and outer thigh. This will result in shaped outer thighs and an overall curvaceous and voluptuous silhouette.

Mini Thigh Lift

The mini lift is a baby version of the full thigh lift but packs powerful results. The mini thigh lift expertly tightens, tones, and contours only the upper inner thigh.

Thigh Lift Procedure Details

The thigh lift procedure in Seattle takes approximately three hours, though we recommend that you take a full day off from work or other activities for the procedure.

Your procedure will be completed under anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Depending on the surgical strategy outlined during your consultation, one of our trained plastic surgeons will perform a medial thigh lift, lateral thigh lift, or mini thigh lift per your needs.

Recovery After Your Thigh Lift Procedure

To help ensure a healthy, optimal recovery, our team recommends:

  • Arranging a ride home following your treatment–you will not be able to drive
  • Avoiding strenuous exercise or vigorous movement for the first few weeks following your treatment (or as directed by our expert plastic surgeon)
  • Caring for your body with a nutritious, balanced diet, adequate hydration, and active lifestyle
  • Ensuring you visit our medical team for regular follow-ups

These are simple, general tips that you can use to help facilitate an optimal recovery from your thigh lift procedure. During your consultation, a list of more personalized directions will be given to you.

Before and After

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a thigh lift covered by insurance?

Thigh lift surgery is not normally covered by medical insurance policies because it is considered cosmetic surgery. Partial coverage may be possible if deemed medically necessary, like severe rashes, infections, or if you are having difficulty walking.

Does a thigh lift get rid of cellulite?

No. A thigh lift will not normally remove cellulite, but tightening loose skin may make your thighs look much smoother.

Is a thigh lift used after weight loss?

Yes. Many people undergo thigh lift surgery after they lose a major amount of weight to remove excess skin and tighten and smooth their thighs.

Will a thigh lift leave scars?

Yes. A thigh lift does leave scars, but the surgeon will do all possible to place the incisions in less noticeable places that usually are covered with clothing.

Are thigh lift results permanent?

Thigh lift results can last for many years, but your body will continue to age naturally, so some changes may occur. Keeping a stable weight and living a healthy lifestyle that includes getting enough exercise can help.
