Significant weight loss or aging can leave excess hanging skin on some bodily regions, such as the thighs. Thighplasty – or a thigh lift – surgically reshapes the thighs by removing the excess tissue.

Smooth Your Thighs
Even adequate exercise and nutrition cannot correct some changes to your physique. Sagging skin typically requires surgical intervention to restore a smooth and even texture. Our thigh lift in Fort Lauderdale tightens the skin and can be combined with liposuction if you want to remove unwanted excess fat from the thigh area as well.
Top Aesthetics Exceeding Expectations
Our double-board-certified founder and lead surgeon, Dr. Humberto Palladino, specializes in body contouring procedures to sculpt the figure to a more aesthetically pleasing shape. Having trained at the prestigious Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, Dr. Palladino brings a wealth of knowledge to his practice for the safest and most efficient techniques in cosmetic surgery.
With a medical degree from Universidad Favoloro in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and board certification from the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Palladino has the technical skill and true artistic mastery over the human form, which is why Castle Connolly’s physician-led research team has awarded him Top Doctor for eight years in a row. His commitment to excellence exceeds expectations.
When loose skin or excess fat on the thighs prevents you from wanting to show off your legs, thigh lift surgery removes the unwanted stubborn fat, tightens sagging skin, and reshapes the upper thighs to a smoother and more youthful appearance.
Flatter, more toned thighs better highlight the muscle contours for an overall improvement to the appearance of your legs, which can also boost self-confidence and feelings of attractiveness in your clothes.
Procedure
Dr. Palladino performs thigh lift surgery as an outpatient procedure, which allows patients to go home afterward to recover. You will need to designate a friend or family member to take you home after surgery. Before your procedure, Dr. Palladino will mark up your legs to outline the treatment areas.
He will administer general anesthesia to keep you comfortable during the procedure. Depending on the nature of your thigh lift, Dr. Palladino will trace the incisions within the crease along the groin or the buttock crease. Through the incision, he removes excess tissues and tightens the skin.
Recovery
After your thigh lift in Fort Lauderdale, you will experience bruising and swelling in the treatment area. Each patient’s recovery timeline varies, but most patients will need two weeks of downtime to rest and recuperate. Dr. Palladino will provide clearly outlined instructions, and you will need to avoid strenuous movement until he clears you to begin your regular activities again.
Most patients will be able to return to their daily activities and light movement within six weeks and the more strenuous exercise soon after. Dr. Palladino is available to answer any questions about your recovery throughout the process.
