A thigh lift, medically known as thighplasty, is a surgical cosmetic procedure designed to reshape and contour the thighs by removing excess skin and fat. It is performed to address issues such as sagging or loose skin on the inner or outer thighs, often caused by weight loss, aging, or genetics.
What is Thigh Lift?
Thighplasty involves the surgical removal of excess skin and fat from the thighs to create a more toned, firm, and aesthetically pleasing thigh appearance. The procedure can target both the inner thighs (medial thigh lift) or the outer thighs (lateral thigh lift), depending on the patient’s specific concerns.
Benefits of Thigh Lift
1. Toned Thigh Appearance:
- Thigh lift surgery provides a toned and contoured appearance to the thighs.
2. Improved Skin Tightness:
- It addresses sagging skin, resulting in improved skin tightness and elasticity.
3. Enhanced Thigh Proportion:
- Thighplasty can create better thigh proportion in relation to the rest of the body.
4. Increased Confidence:
- Many patients experience increased self-esteem and confidence in their appearance.
Treatment Process
Experience the transformation of your thighs with a Thigh Lift at ZenKai, where your comfort and satisfaction are paramount. Here’s an overview of what you can expect during this rejuvenating journey:
1. Consultation:
- The process begins with a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. During this consultation, patients discuss their goals, concerns, and expectations for the procedure.
2. Anesthesia:
- Thigh lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort during the surgery.
3. Incisions:
- The surgeon makes incisions along the inner or outer thighs, or a combination of both, depending on the specific type of thigh lift being performed and the patient’s anatomy.
4. Tissue Adjustment:
- Excess Skin Removal: The surgeon removes excess skin from the thighs.
- Fat Removal (if necessary): Liposuction may be used to remove excess fat from the thighs for further contouring.
5. Sutures and Healing:
- After the necessary adjustments are made, the incisions are closed with sutures or adhesive strips. Patients receive post-operative instructions for proper healing and care, which may include wearing compression garments to minimize swelling.

2. Duration of Results:
- The results of a thigh lift are generally long-lasting, provided that the patient maintains a stable weight through a healthy lifestyle.
