Smooth, Sculpted Contours for the Upper Legs

At Athēnix Advanced Plastic Surgery, a thigh lift in Scottsdale helps patients achieve slimmer, firmer upper legs by removing excess skin and reshaping underlying tissue. Whether caused by significant weight loss, aging, or genetics, loose or sagging skin on the thighs can be difficult to address through diet and exercise alone. Our expert surgeons use advanced techniques to restore natural contours, improving comfort, mobility, and self-confidence.

What Is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a body contouring procedure designed to reduce excess skin and fat from the thighs while tightening the remaining tissue for smoother, more toned legs. The procedure can target different areas depending on your goals, including:

  • Inner thigh lift: Focuses on reshaping the inner thighs.
  • Outer thigh lift: Improves the outer thigh and hip contours.
  • Medial thigh lift: Tightens skin along the upper inner thighs for improved definition.

Your Athēnix Scottsdale surgeon will customize your surgical plan to create balanced, natural results that enhance your overall proportions.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be an excellent candidate for a thigh lift in Scottsdale if you:

  • Have significant skin laxity in the thighs due to weight loss, aging, or genetics
  • Are at or near a stable, healthy weight
  • Are in good overall health and a non-smoker
  • Have realistic expectations about recovery and results

During your consultation, our Scottsdale surgeons will evaluate your anatomy, discuss your goals, and design a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

What to Expect During Thigh Lift Surgery

Thigh lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia in our accredited Scottsdale facility and typically takes two to three hours.

  • Incisions: Strategically placed along the groin, inner thigh, or hip crease to minimize visibility.
  • Tissue Tightening: Underlying muscles and tissues are reshaped and tightened for improved support.
  • Skin Removal: Excess skin is trimmed, and the remaining skin is smoothed to create a toned contour.

Depending on your goals, liposuction may also be performed to refine results and enhance overall leg shape.

Recovery and Results

After surgery, patients can expect swelling, bruising, and some discomfort in the thighs, which gradually improve over the first two weeks. Compression garments are typically recommended to support healing and minimize swelling.

Most patients return to light activities within two weeks and resume regular routines, including exercise, within six to eight weeks. As swelling subsides, your thighs will appear smoother, firmer, and more proportionate. With proper care, results are long-lasting, giving you renewed confidence in your appearance.
