Many women are concerned about laxity and looseness of the upper thigh area. This can be a result of significant weight loss or simply loss of skin elasticity over time. Also the quality of the skin can change due to collagen damage from sun exposure.

The Thigh lift procedure is designed to remove excess skin, achieving attractive looking upper legs. Many patients state that they would not wear shorts or a bathing suit because of the loose skin on the upper legs. After the thighplasty procedure they have renewed confidence in their appearance and begin wearing clothing they previously avoided.

There are different types of thigh lifting procedures. For those that complain of the excess skin on the outer thighs, a Lateral Thigh Lift procedure targets that area. This procedure is designed to tighten skin on the front and the sides of the leg. The incision is made at the top of the leg. Dr. Mills will discuss the location of the incision in detail with you at the consultation. He will demonstrate how removing the excess skin will achieve a tighter, more youthful looking leg contour.
