Inner Thigh Lift in San Diego

Jump To

Have you thought about getting an inner thigh lift? Weight loss or the loss of skin elasticity can result in flabby skin on the inner thighs. Excess tissue on the inner thighs can be removed with an inner thigh lift. The procedure can help to remove excess fat and loose skin around the inner thighs to give them a sleeker, slimmer, and more toned appearance. At our plastic and reconstructive surgery practice, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Mofid strives to offer the best thigh lift results in San Diego.

Inner Thigh Lift Overview

The first part of the process will be coming in for your inner thigh lift consultation with Dr. Mofid. During this time, Dr. Mofid can go over the details of the procedure, answer any questions you have, and create a personalized surgical plan based on your needs.

Your inner thigh lift in San Diego will be performed under general anesthesia at our accredited, AAAASF certified facility, located in our office surgery center in La Jolla. Dr. Mark Mofid excises this tissue to create a taut and firm leg contour. The thighs will be sculpted to achieve a more toned appearance. Incisions will be placed within the groin crease or in combination with incisions along the insides of the thighs so that they will not be visible to most people.

Am I a Candidate for an Inner Thigh Lift?

If exercise hasn’t improved your inner thighs and you feel uncomfortable in certain clothing, this procedure may help.

You may be a candidate if you have excess or hanging inner thigh skin, skin laxity after weight loss, or chafing from loose tissue. Ideal candidates are at a stable weight, in good health, do not smoke, and understand that some scarring is expected.

Inner Thigh Lift Recovery

The exact length of your recovery following your inner thigh lift in San Diego will depend on factors like your natural healing rate, the techniques used, and more. In most cases, pain should be minimal and can be managed with medications. You can expect to experience swelling around the thighs as well as some bruising. A compression garment will need to be worn.

You will need to avoid leg movement and placing strain on the legs during the initial part of the recovery process. On average, patients will need to take around seven to 10 days off from work and their normal activities to allow the thighs to properly recover. It can take up to 4 months of recovery before you are able to resume all of your normal activities.

Thigh Lift FAQ

How noticeable are thigh lift scars?

Incisions are placed within the groin crease and, when necessary, along the inner thigh. Scars are permanent but typically fade and soften over time.

What is recovery like after surgery?

Most patients take seven to 10 days off work. Swelling and bruising are common early, and a compression garment supports healing. Strenuous activity resumes gradually over several months.

Will this procedure help me lose weight?

No. This surgery removes excess skin and improves contour. It is best suited for patients who are already near a stable weight but want to address loose tissue that does not improve with exercise.
