Thigh Lift


View Before/After Photo Gallery

Thigh lifts are done for patients with loose, excess skin on their inner and outer thighs. It is done via incisions that are hidden in the groin. Patients have usually experienced massive weight loss, either after diet and exercise or after gastric bypass.

Surgery is the only effective means to tighten up the excess skin in these areas. In some cases, Dr. Mukerji may suggest that liposuction be used alone or in conjunction with a thigh lift to remove excess fat in the legs.

The procedure is done in the hospital under general anesthesia. Recovery time is usually 1-2 weeks.
