Smoother, Firmer Contours for the Upper Legs

At Athēnix Advanced Plastic Surgery, our thigh lift procedure in Fresno helps patients achieve slimmer, more toned legs by removing loose skin and refining underlying tissue. Whether changes are the result of weight loss, aging, or genetics, sagging thigh skin can be difficult to address with diet and exercise alone. Our board-certified surgeons use advanced techniques to restore natural contours, improving not only appearance but also comfort, mobility, and self-confidence.

What Is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a body contouring surgery that reduces excess skin and fat in the thighs while tightening the remaining tissue. The procedure can be customized to target specific areas based on your needs:

  • Inner thigh lift: Reshapes and tightens the inner thighs.
  • Outer thigh lift: Improves contour along the outer thighs and hips.
  • Medial thigh lift: Focuses on skin tightening along the upper inner thighs for enhanced definition.

At Athēnix Fresno, each thigh lift is tailored to the patient’s anatomy and goals to create natural, balanced results.

Benefits of a Thigh Lift

A thigh lift at Athēnix Fresno provides patients with several key advantages:

  • Removes sagging or stretched skin after weight loss or aging
  • Creates smoother, firmer leg contours
  • Reduces chafing and skin irritation caused by excess folds
  • Improves the way clothing fits and feels
  • Enhances mobility and physical comfort
  • Delivers long-lasting improvements with stable weight and a healthy lifestyle

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be an excellent candidate for thigh lift surgery in Fresno if you:

  • Struggle with significant loose skin in the thigh area
  • Are at or near a stable, healthy weight
  • Are in good overall health and a non-smoker
  • Have realistic expectations about scarring, recovery, and results

During your consultation at Athēnix, your surgeon will carefully evaluate your body type, review your goals, and create a surgical plan that best meets your needs.

What to Expect During Thigh Lift Surgery

Thigh lift surgery is performed in our accredited Fresno surgical facility under general anesthesia and usually takes two to three hours.

  • Incisions: Strategically placed in areas such as the groin crease, inner thigh, or hip crease to keep scars discreet.
  • Tissue Tightening: Underlying structures are reshaped for a stronger, smoother foundation.
  • Skin Removal: Excess skin is trimmed away, and the remaining skin is carefully redraped for a firm, natural appearance.

Liposuction may also be combined with thigh lift surgery to enhance contouring and achieve more refined results.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort during the first one to two weeks following surgery. A compression garment is often recommended to reduce swelling and support healing.

Most people return to light activities within two weeks and resume normal exercise and routines within six to eight weeks. As the healing process continues, thighs appear smoother, firmer, and more proportionate. With proper care and weight stability, results are long-lasting and life-enhancing.
