Smoother, Sculpted Thighs That Look and Feel Great
When it comes to body contouring, experience matters. Dr. Bret Johnson, is a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive expertise in thigh lift surgery. Using advanced techniques, he tailors each procedure to the patient’s unique anatomy, ensuring smooth, natural results with minimal scarring.
A thigh lift provides a dramatic transformation in just one surgery. If loose skin, lack of definition, or discomfort are holding you back, Dr. Bret Johnson’s expertise ensures you get the best possible results.
Move, dress, and feel better in your own skin. Here’s how a thighplasty or thigh lift can help:
Sagging skin can take away from your body’s shape. A thigh lift tightens and smooths the skin, leaving your legs looking more sculpted and firm.
If your thighs feel out of proportion with the rest of your body, a thigh lift can reshape and define your legs for a more balanced look.
Excess skin can cause discomfort, rubbing, and irritation. Tightening the thighs reduces friction and makes movement easier.
If you’ve lost a significant amount of weight, loose skin can remain. A thigh lift removes the excess and refines your new shape.
With firmer thighs, pants, shorts, and skirts fit more comfortably and look better, giving you more wardrobe options.
Once excess skin is removed, the results are long-term, especially with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
For patients with stubborn fat deposits, liposuction can be added to further refine the thighs’ shape.
When your thighs are firm, smooth, and in balance with the rest of your body, you feel more confident in your appearance.
This procedure involves a short scar located horizontally in parallel to the groin crease in the medial thigh. Although the scar is limited and well concealed, the improvement in thigh contouring is also limited. This type of procedure is only good for patients with excess skin limited to the upper 1/3 of the thigh.
This procedure involves an L-shaped scar located horizontally in parallel to the groin crease and then extending vertically down the inner thigh from the groin to just above the knee. This allows for skin and fat removal of the entire inner thigh which can lead to drastic improvements of the thigh contour.
This procedure can improve laxity in the lateral thigh that is not fully addressed with a traditional medial thighplasty. It is not a stand-alone procedure but is performed in conjunction with a lower body lift to fully correct excess skin laxity in the buttocks, lateral thighs, and abdomen. The incision is located along the lower abdomen extending across the flanks and along the upper buttocks. Through this incision the lateral thigh skin can be pulled vertically.
During a thighplasty, the surgeon removes excess skin and fat from the thighs through carefully placed incisions. The remaining skin is then tightened and smoothed to create a more contoured and youthful appearance. Dr. Johnson prefers to include liposuction with all thighplasty procedures to further contour the legs and remove stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise.
The first step in the thighplasty process is a thorough pre-operative consultation. During this consultation, Dr. Johnson will discuss your goals, preferences, and any concerns you may have. We will review your medical history, perform a physical examination, and discuss the various options for thighplasty that are available to create a custom plan to meet your goals and expectations.
Thighplasty can be performed in isolation or with other procedures. Patients will frequently choose to combine the operation with breast surgery or other body contouring procedures.
Following surgery, patients will be monitored in the recovery area and are allowed to go home the same day unless the procedure is combined with other operations.
Detailed post-operative care instructions will be provided. Patients can expect some discomfort, bruising, and swelling, which can be managed with pain medication and cold compresses.
Compression garments and post-operative lymphatic massage are recommended to help reduce swelling and support the arms as they heal.
Most patients can return to their normal activities within a 2-3 weeks but it is important to avoid strenuous activities for several additional weeks until the arms are fully healed.
The improved contour will be noticeable immediately but it takes several weeks for swelling to subside. The final results will typically take several months as residual swelling continues to improve and the scar fades.
Pricing will vary depending on the exact surgical approach for your procedure. However the typical price range is between $10000-$13000.
