Thigh Lift Washington, DC | Kelly M. Bolden, MD, FACS

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

A thigh lift is a specialized cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reshape the thighs by reducing excess skin and fat. At Cultura Dermatology and Plastic Surgery, Dr. Kelly Bolden offers personalized thigh lift techniques to help patients achieve smoother, more proportionate body contours.

Thigh Lift Benefits

• Improved Leg Contour: Removes loose, sagging skin and fat from the thigh area.
• Enhanced Comfort: Reduces chafing and discomfort during physical activities.
• Better Fitting Clothing: Creates a slimmer thigh profile, making clothes fit more comfortably.
• Boosted Self-Esteem: Increases confidence in appearance, especially when wearing shorts or swimsuits.

Good Candidates for Thigh Lift

Ideal candidates for a thigh lift are individuals with excess skin and fat along the inner or outer thigh region. Patients should be at a stable weight, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.

Thigh Lift Procedure Details

Performed under general anesthesia, the thigh lift involves carefully removing excess skin and fat, reshaping underlying tissue, and tightening the skin to create a more toned and youthful thigh contour.

Incision Options

• Inner Thigh Lift: Incision at the fold where the thigh meets the pubic area
• Outer Thigh Lift: More extensive incision potentially wrapping around the hip or buttock

Recovery and Results

Results are visible almost immediately, though initial swelling and bruising will subside over weeks. The new thigh shape can last for many years with proper diet and exercise.

Combination Procedures

Thigh lifts can be combined with other body contouring procedures like tummy tuck or buttock enhancement for comprehensive results.
