Thigh Lift Maryville, IL | Ryan Diederich

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

A thigh lift improves the appearance of the thighs by removing excess skin and fat. Patients in Maryville, Edwardsville, and the St. Louis area seek this procedure to tighten and reshape their thighs, restoring a smoother and more toned appearance.

What Causes Thigh Skin Laxity?

Weight changes, heredity, and natural aging can cause the skin on your thighs to droop and sag. While exercise can strengthen muscle, it cannot address excess skin, fat, and loss of elasticity.
