Thigh Lift

A thigh lift reshapes the thighs by reducing excess skin resulting in smoother skin and better-proportioned contours of the thighs and lower body.

The best candidates for this surgery are men or women who are relatively stable in weight, have excess soft tissue along the inner or outer thigh areas, a non-smoker, and are realistic in their expectations.

A thigh lift is not intended for the removal of excess fat. If excess fat, needs to be removed, liposuction may be required prior to having a thigh lift.

Thigh Lift Consultation

Plan to spend 30 minutes to one hour at your initial consultation with Dr. Mukerji. During this consultation, you will discuss your surgery goals, your plastic surgery options and go over the risks and benefits involved with your surgery. Your decision to have surgery is a highly personal one that not everyone will understand. The important thing is how you feel about it.

Prior to your consultation, make a list of questions. Many things will be covered during your consultation and it is easy to forget all the questions you had. Be sure to let us know if you smoke, the medications you take including vitamins, and any other health problems. Be aware that smoking causes the blood vessels to constrict which reduces blood flow, and the oxygen it carries, to the surgical area. When your blood supply is reduced, tissues heal more slowly and there is an increased risk of complications. If you smoke, Dr. Mukerji will let you know if you need to quit smoking prior to your surgery and for how long. If you are required to quit smoking prior to surgery, a nicotine test will be administered on the morning of your surgery.

Typically, most of our surgeries are performed at Avera St. Luke’s Hospital in Aberdeen, SD under general anesthesia.
