Leg Lift, also known as thighplasty, is a body contouring procedure designed to tighten and reshape the thighs by removing excess skin and fat. It is commonly performed after significant weight loss or due to skin laxity caused by aging. The procedure improves thigh contour, reduces sagging, and creates a more proportionate lower body appearance. While it enhances shape and firmness, Leg Lift is not a weight-loss procedure and does result in permanent scars, which are placed as discreetly as possible.

Leg Lift works by surgically removing loose skin and underlying fat, then tightening the remaining tissue to create a smoother and more toned thigh contour. The type of Leg Lift performed depends on the area and severity of skin laxity.

Incisions are strategically placed in natural creases such as the groin, inner thigh, waistline, or along the hip or buttock area. Liposuction may be combined to refine contours and improve overall smoothness. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.
