A thigh lift (thighplasty) is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of loose skin caused by aging or dramatic weight loss. This procedure is especially effective for treating fatty areas that are especially resistant to typical weight-loss methods. Loose skin and your inability to shed excess weight in the inner and outer thighs can lead to unsightly contours leaving your body disproportionate. These factors can also cause physical discomfort due to rubbing or chafing during walking and other physical activities. Through a combination of liposuction and excision (tissue removal), a thigh lift performed by Dr. Robert Zubowski will dramatically improve the width and body shape of your thighs to create a slimmer, more youthful appearance.

A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reshape and improve the contour of the thighs by removing excess skin and fat. This procedure is often sought by individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or have sagging skin due to aging.
Ideal candidates for a thigh lift are individuals in good overall health who have excess, sagging skin on their thighs that does not respond to diet and exercise. Non-smokers with realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery are also considered suitable candidates.
There are several types of thigh lift procedures tailored to individual needs:
The duration of a thigh lift surgery typically ranges from 2 to 4 hours, depending on the extent of the procedure. Recovery time varies, but most patients can expect to return to normal activities within 4 to 6 weeks. Full healing and final results may take several months.
Yes, scarring is an inevitable part of any surgical procedure. However, Dr. Zubowski strategically places incisions to minimize visible scarring. Over time, scars usually fade and become less noticeable.
As with any surgery, there are potential risks, including infection, bleeding, scarring, asymmetry, and changes in skin sensation. It’s essential to discuss these risks with Dr. Zubowski during the consultation.
Preparation includes maintaining a stable weight, quitting smoking, avoiding certain medications, and arranging for someone to assist you during recovery. Dr. Zubowski will provide specific preoperative instructions tailored to your situation.
The results of a thigh lift are long-lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. However, natural aging and weight fluctuations can affect the longevity of the results.
Yes, a thigh lift can be performed in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures, such as liposuction, tummy tucks, or lower body lifts, to achieve comprehensive body contouring results.
The cost of a thigh lift varies based on factors like the complexity of the procedure. It’s advisable to consult with Dr. Zubowski to obtain a detailed quote and understand what’s included in the pricing.
