Thigh Lift in Bakersfield, Fresno, and Stockton
Most women consider that long, shapely thighs are key to an overall great appearance. There are several factors that can prevent the thighs from having their rightful slender appearance. These include the effects of gravity, weight loss genetics or age.
Quick Info
- A thigh lift, also known as thighplasty, is a 2-3 hour surgery to remove loose skin from the inner thighs.
- The surgery can be performed in two methods. One method (mini-thigh lift) limits the incision to groin area, but only takes care of loose skin on the top upper thigh area. The other method has an incision from your groin to your inner knee, and helps with loose skin on the entire upper thigh.
- The recovery is 2 weeks of rest at home, after which you may return to work if you have a desk job. You should avoid heavy activity and lifting for 4-6 weeks.
- The thighplasty surgery is usually performed in people who have lost a significant amount of weight and now need to have the thighs contoured. Sometimes liposuction may be and option to take care of fullness of the thigh. Our surgeons will tell you what the best option is for you at your consultation.

Enhance Your Confidence with a Thigh Lift
Shapely, toned thighs are often associated with a youthful, fit appearance. However, factors such as aging, genetics, weight fluctuations, and the effects of gravity can lead to excess skin and stubborn fat deposits in the thighs. While exercise and a healthy diet can improve muscle tone, they may not always address sagging skin or stubborn fat. If you're looking for a more contoured and youthful leg shape, a thigh lift—also known as thighplasty—can be an excellent solution. At Beautologie, our top plastic surgeons provide the best thigh lift procedures in Bakersfield, Fresno, and Stockton to help you achieve smoother, firmer thighs.
What Is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reshape the thighs by removing excess skin and fat, resulting in a more toned and defined appearance. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who have undergone significant weight loss or experience skin laxity due to aging. Depending on your specific concerns, our expert plastic surgeons will recommend one of the following types of thigh lifts:
- Upper Thigh Lift – Focuses on the inner thighs, primarily addressing the upper third of the thigh.
- Full Thigh Lift – Targets the entire inner and front thigh, extending from the groin to the knee.
- Medial Thigh Lift – Specifically addresses sagging skin and excess fat on the inner thigh for improved contouring.
- Lateral Thigh Lift – Focuses on the outer thigh to remove excess skin and create a smoother, more youthful appearance.
No matter your aesthetic goals, our surgeons will customize your thigh lift procedure to enhance your natural contours and restore confidence in your appearance.
The Thigh Lift Procedure
At Beautologie, we prioritize patient satisfaction and safety. Your journey to beautifully contoured thighs begins with a comprehensive consultation with one of our skilled plastic surgeons. During this session, we will assess your concerns, discuss your goals, and determine the most suitable thigh lift technique for you.
Surgical Process:
- Incision Placement: The incision pattern depends on the type of thigh lift performed. A full thigh lift may involve a vertical incision from the groin to the knee, while an upper thigh lift typically requires a horizontal incision along the groin. A medial thigh lift will have an incision along the inner thigh, while a lateral thigh lift will involve an incision along the outer thigh.
- Tissue Repositioning & Fat Removal: Excess skin is removed, and underlying tissues are tightened and reshaped to create a firmer, more contoured appearance. If necessary, liposuction may be added to remove stubborn fat pockets that cannot be addressed through excision alone.
- Incision Closure: Our surgeons use multiple layers of sutures to ensure minimal scarring and optimal healing.
Recovery & Results
Following a thigh lift, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which typically subsides within a few weeks. Compression garments may be recommended to help reduce swelling and support the healing process. Most patients can return to light activities within two weeks, while strenuous activities should be avoided for at least six weeks.
Final results will gradually become visible as swelling subsides, revealing smoother, more toned thighs. With proper care and a healthy lifestyle, the results of a thigh lift can be long-lasting, providing enhanced confidence and improved body contours.

FAQ
Good candidates for a thigh lift procedure include individuals who have excess skin and fat in the thighs, are in good overall health, and have realistic expectations for the results of the procedure.
The recovery time for a thigh lift procedure can vary depending on the extent of the procedure and the individual patient. Generally, patients can expect to take several weeks off work and avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for several weeks to months following the procedure.
Like any surgical procedure, a thigh lift will leave some scars. However, a skilled plastic surgeon can place incisions in areas that can be concealed by clothing or natural body contours, and the scars can fade over time.
In most cases, a thigh lift is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance. However, in rare cases where excess skin and fat cause functional problems such as skin irritation or difficulty moving, insurance may cover the procedure.
Like any surgical procedure, a thigh lift carries some risks, such as infection, bleeding, anesthesia complications, and poor wound healing. Choosing a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon and following all pre- and post-operative instructions can help minimize these risks.
The results of a thigh lift procedure can be long-lasting if the patient maintains a healthy lifestyle and stable weight. However, natural aging and weight fluctuations can affect the results over time.
