Thigh Lift
A refined, individualized approach to thigh lift, designed to enhance your natural features with results that look and feel like you.
Overview
What is Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift removes excess skin and tightens the tissue of the inner or outer thigh, often after significant weight loss or as skin loses elasticity with age. It creates a smoother, more toned contour.
Dr. Leppard’s approach prioritizes results that are refined, balanced, and true to each patient’s natural features. During your consultation he takes the time to understand what you want to achieve, then explains every option, tradeoff, and realistic outcome so you can make an informed decision.
To learn whether thigh lift is right for you, the best next step is a personal consultation.

FAQ
Thigh Lift frequently asked questions
Where is the thigh lift scar?
Incisions are usually placed in the groin crease and sometimes along the inner thigh, where they are less visible.
Can liposuction fix loose thigh skin?
Liposuction removes fat but not excess skin. A thigh lift is best when loose skin is the main concern.
How long is thigh lift recovery?
Most patients return to light activity in about 2 to 3 weeks and resume exercise around 6 weeks.
