Thigh Lift Surgery in Fort Lauderdale

If you want to enhance the shape of your thighs and restore a firmer, smoother look, thigh lift surgery (thighplasty) may be the right choice. This plastic surgery procedure can remove excess skin and fat from the thigh area, creating a more contoured appearance and balanced body shape. Many people choose a thigh lift after losing a significant amount of weight, pregnancy, or experiencing changes in elasticity due to aging.

At Dr. Zoran Potparic’s Fort Lauderdale plastic surgery center, our board-certified plastic surgeon uses advanced thighplasty techniques to reshape the thighs and improve your body contouring results. With careful planning, your procedure will look natural and complement the rest of your lower body.

Why Choose a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift is a cosmetic procedure that does more than change appearance. It can improve daily comfort and boost confidence. By removing sagging skin, stubborn pockets of fat, and excess skin and fat around the thighs, patients can enjoy a smoother, more toned look.

This surgery also reduces irritation in the inner thigh area and outer thigh, helping you feel better in clothing and during activities. The results of your thigh lift can include a better fit for clothing, a more proportional look to the buttock and upper thigh area, and reduced friction in areas of sagging and excess skin.

Whether you are considering an inner thigh lift, outer thigh lift, spiral thigh lift, or mini thigh lift, we can recommend the type of thigh lift that best fits your needs.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a good candidate for a thigh lift if you have excess skin along the inner thighs, loose skin, or fat and excess skin after significant weight loss. This body contouring procedure is best suited for healthy, non-smoking individuals with realistic expectations. Ideal candidates may also benefit from a lower body lift, butt lift, or other cosmetic surgery procedures to achieve complete results.

During your consultation, our plastic surgeon will evaluate the amount of skin to be removed, the areas of excess, and your inner and outer thigh structure. We will also determine if liposuction may be used alongside the procedure that removes excess tissue for the best outcome.

How the Procedure Works

Your thigh lift procedure will be performed under general anesthesia for your comfort and safety. Dr. Potparic will make carefully planned incisions in discreet locations, often hidden in the inner thigh crease or groin, to minimize visible scar placement.

Depending on your needs, a vertical thigh lift may be recommended to target skin along the inner thighs, or a thigh lift targets the outer thighs and upper thigh area. The surgery removes excess skin and fat, sometimes using liposuction to remove stubborn fat deposits for smoother results.

Once the desired contour is achieved, sutures are placed to close the incisions, and dressings are applied to protect the area. This surgery for patients who want to reshape the legs is highly customizable, ensuring your thigh lift is performed to match your unique body shape and goals.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from a thigh lift varies depending on the extent of surgery, but most patients can return to light activities within two weeks. You will wear a compression garment to help reduce swelling and support the thighs by removing strain during healing. Minor bruising and swelling are normal, and any scar will fade over time. Full recovery generally takes four to six weeks, and you will see the full results of your procedure as swelling subsides.

The full results of your thigh lift can last for years if maintained with a healthy lifestyle. While recovery will vary, following your post-op plan helps ensure the thigh lift removes excess skin effectively and the improvements in your thighs and lower body are long-lasting.

Thigh Lift Cost and Pricing Information

At Dr. Zoran Potparic’s Fort Lauderdale plastic surgery center, the thigh lift cost starts at $7,500. Your thighplasty cost may vary depending on the type of thigh lift you choose, whether liposuction is included, and the complexity of your body contouring procedure.

During your consultation, you will receive an itemized quote for your thigh lift price along with payment and financing options.
