What Should I Know About a Body and Thigh Lift?

Many people believe a body lift is one procedure; however, a body lift describes multiple procedures that might be done in stages that are combined to help you achieve your personalized results. These procedures all focus on the removal of excess skin and fat after extreme weight loss. We want you to feel comfortable and confident in your skin, so if you are healthy and have experienced severe weight loss, a body lift can be the final journey on your road to a healthy lifestyle.

A body lift requires multiple incisions to remove excess skin and fat. This process allows for tightening and re-positioning tissue for a more smooth and natural appearance. A body lift will help you achieve the profile you are trying to obtain. The incisions are dependent on the amount of excess skin that needs to be removed. A body lift can effectively reshape your arms, hips, abdomen, back, buttocks, breasts, and thighs.

Beautiful, shapely legs are something every woman wants. For decades, people have correlated shapely legs with beauty. If you are unhappy or concerned with the way your thighs look, perhaps a thigh lift is right for you.

Plastic Surgery of Palm Beach wants you to feel comfortable wearing shorts and skirts all year in the beautiful Florida weather. We know how uncomfortable it is to wear pants in the heat. It is time to take that step and increase your quality of life, feeling more secure about your body with a thigh lift.

A thigh lift reshapes the thighs, resulting in smoother skin and healthier-looking thighs. Depending on the cosmetic needs and anatomy of the patient, this could be done by removal of excess skin and fat on the thighs.

How Much Does a Body and Thigh Lift Cost?

To determine the cost of your body and thigh lift, we invite you to schedule a private consultation at our practice. During your consultation, we will assess your cosmetic goals in order to pursue a treatment plan that matches your unique needs. Then, we will be able to provide you with a clear breakdown of the costs associated with your treatment.

What is a Lower Body Lift?

A lower body lift is a surgical procedure that will focus on your abdomen, hips, buttocks, and thighs. A lower body lift is a big procedure and is usually performed on patients who have had bariatric surgery and have successfully lost a large amount of weight. This procedure can take approximately six hours and may require a brief stay in the hospital. After a lower body lift, you should limit your activity for about one to two weeks and refrain from exercise or strenuous activity until you are cleared by your physician. The results from a lower body lift are dramatic and leave our patients feeling restored, renewed, and excited to continue a healthy lifestyle.

What is an Upper Body Lift?

An upper body lift is a surgical procedure that will focus on your arms, breasts, and back. An upper body lift is usually performed on patients who have had bariatric surgery and have successfully lost a large amount of weight, or on women that have gone through pregnancy. It is important that your weight has been stable for at least six months, with no further weight loss expected. With any body lift, the goal is to remove excess skin after weight loss and is not to be used as a weight loss strategy. After an upper body lift, you should limit your activity for about one to two weeks and follow all of the post-operative care instructions given to you by your physician. The better care you take of yourself after the surgery, the better the results.

Can “Skirt Envy” Be Cured with a Thigh Lift?

No matter how good your diet is or how much you exercise, sometimes it is impossible to get rid of those fat pockets on your thighs! Time, gravity, and weight loss all contribute to lost tone or sag on the inner and outer thighs. At Plastic Surgery of Palm Beach, we provide you with a couple different options for thigh lift surgery. These options are medial thigh lift and outer thigh lift.

The medial thigh lift involves removal of excess skin on the inner thighs. The removal of skin can be from the upper inner thighs down to the knees.

The outer thigh lift is typically a more extensive procedure and can also include the buttocks. During your consultation with Plastic Surgery of Palm Beach, we will go over the process so we can give you the results you deserve. We will also discuss the process involved for thigh lift recovery and thigh lift cost.

How Can I Get a Thigh Gap?

The highly-coveted look of a thigh gap is not far from reach. With a thigh lift, we can remove excess skin from your inner thighs, which will tighten and smooth each leg to create separation between your thighs. Depending on your situation, you may need to add liposuction in order to fully create this look. Your surgeon will assess the area during a consultation and make the appropriate recommendations to try to help you achieve your goals.

Am I a Candidate for a Body and Thigh Lift?

If you are healthy and have maintained a stable weight for six months, we encourage you to contact us for a consultation. During the consultation, we will answer all of your questions and discuss your desired outcome. We will also discuss body lift cost and body lift recovery process. Our state-of-the-art facilities and board-certified plastic surgeons will help take your body and confidence to the next step in your life.
