What is a thigh lift?
A thigh lift is a surgical, body contouring procedure to remove excess skin and fat from your thighs. The goal of the procedure is to improve the appearance of your legs by removing the “dimpled look” produced by cellulite, as well as lax tissue from weight loss. A thigh lift improves the overall aesthetic of the legs by creating more attractive contours, resulting in smoother, slimmer, and a more toned appearance of the lower body.

Procedure
When you arrive for your thigh lift surgery, you will meet with Dr. Tehrani to review your treatment plan. He will use a marker on your skin to identify the incision sites and areas he should pay special attention to while in surgery. He will address any last minute questions you may have during this time.
Once you are situated in the operating room, you will be given either general anesthesia or a local anesthesthetic with IV sedation to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. After the anesthesia has taken effect, Dr. Tehrani will follow the markings he made on your thighs to create the appropriate incisions. Depending on your needs, liposuction may be performed on your thighs to artistically sculpt your lower body. Once the desired contours have been achieved, Dr. Tehrani will close the incisions with small, precisely placed sutures.
Outer Thigh Lift
In an outer thigh lift, an incision will be made in the groin area and will stretch across the hip and onto the back, depending on the degree of lifting necessary. Dr. Tehrani will carefully separate the skin on your thigh from the underlying fat and muscle. He will then gently pull the skin upwards, as if you were putting on a pair of pants. The excess skin will be removed and the remaining tissue will be redraped on the thigh, achieving a firmer appearance on the legs.
Inner Thigh Lift
An inner thigh lift can be accomplished in multiple ways. An incision will be made in the groin region. Depending on the extent of correction needed, the incision may be extended downwards and towards the back of the thigh or it may be extended straight down the inseam of the thigh towards the knee. In either case, the skin will be pulled taut around the thigh and the excess skin and fat will be removed.
Recovery
After your thigh lift surgery, your legs will be swollen and sore. You may have small, plastic drains placed in the incisions to remove fluid that builds up under your skin that can contribute to further swelling and discomfort. Your incisions will need to remain bandaged and wrapped in compression garments until the doctor advises you otherwise.
Movement of the lower body should be minimal during the recovery process.
You may be encouraged to walk for short periods of time in order to promote proper circulation for optimal healing. You may be able to return to light work after about 10 days, post-op. You may continue normal, more strenuous physical activity after about 4 to 6 months after your thigh lift procedure.
Results
The results of your thigh lift may be immediately apparent as your legs will be slimmer and folds of excess skin will be gone. Once residual swelling subsides, you will be able to enjoy showing off the legs you have dreamed of! The results are long-lasting and natural-looking. Barring any significant weight fluctuations following your thigh lift your results will endure the test of time!
Depending on the extent of your surgery, scarring from an outer thigh lift will be easily concealed under a bikini bottom and underwear. Scars from an inner thigh lift, may fade significantly over time if proper care is taken.

FAQ
Is a thigh lift permanent?
The results of your thigh lift with Dr. Tehrani are long-lasting! The natural effects of aging on the skin will continue as time passes, however the degree and severity of sagging, dimpled skin may not return to its pre-thigh lift condition. You will be able to enjoy your slimmer thighs for years to come. Just be sure to avoid significant weight fluctuations by maintaining a stable weight after thigh lift in order to achieve optimal results.
Can a thigh lift help cellulite?
A thigh lift can help smooth the dimples in the skin caused by cellulite. Cellulite is caused by randomized networks of fibrous, connective tissue in conjunction with swelling fat cells under the skin. The connective tissue pulls the skin down, while the fat cells push the skin up. This discord under the skin makes for unsightly dents in the skin. During a thigh lift, the cords of connective tissue are broken and the skin can better relax against its new contours. This provides you with smoother-looking thighs!
