Body Procedures

A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the thighs by removing excess skin and fat, resulting in smoother, more toned contours. 

Good candidates typically include individuals who:

• Have excess skin and fat in the thigh area due to significant weight loss or aging.
• Are in good overall health and have stable weight.
• Have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery.

Scarring is inevitable with thigh lift surgery, but a skilled surgeon will place incisions strategically to minimize visibility. Scars typically fade over time and can be hidden by clothing. 

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, including infection, bleeding, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. Other potential side effects may include asymmetry, contour irregularities, or numbness in the treated area. Choosing a qualified, board-certified plastic surgeon such as Dr. Nguyen, can minimize these risks. 

Yes, a thigh lift can be combined with other body contouring procedures such as liposuction, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), or arm lift (brachioplasty), depending on the patient's individual goals and overall health.

The results of a thigh lift are long-lasting if a stable weight is maintained. However, natural aging and fluctuations in weight can affect the longevity of the results.

During the consultation, Dr. Nguyen will evaluate your thighs, discuss your medical history and cosmetic goals, explain the procedure in detail, and outline the expected recovery process.

Before proceeding with a thigh lift or any cosmetic surgery, it's essential to thoroughly research and understand the procedure, potential risks, and expected outcomes. A consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Nguyen,  will provide personalized guidance on whether a thigh lift is the right choice to achieve your desired aesthetic results.
