About the Thigh Lift Procedure

A thigh lift (thighplasty) is a surgical procedure that reshapes the thighs by removing excess skin, tightening underlying tissue, and reducing stubborn fat. It’s ideal for patients who have experienced weight fluctuations, aging, or changes in skin elasticity that create sagging or uneven contours.

A thigh lift can address:

Loose or sagging skin on the inner or outer thighs
Skin irritation from chafing or friction
Uneven contours caused by weight loss or aging
Persistent fat deposits resistant to exercise

Thigh Lift Procedure Overview

Your journey begins with a customized surgical plan designed to complement your body proportions and address your concerns. Dr. Duncan focuses on both symmetry and subtlety to create balanced results.

The procedure is performed under anesthesia for comfort and safety.
Incisions are carefully placed along the inner or outer thigh for discreet healing.
Excess skin and fat are removed, and tissues are reshaped for optimal contour.
Sutures and compression garments support recovery and minimize swelling.

What to Expect After Your Thigh Lift: Recovery and Results

Most patients return to light activity within two weeks, with visible improvements emerging as swelling decreases. Wearing compression garments helps refine the shape and speed healing.

Full results typically develop over several months, revealing toned, youthful thighs that move naturally and comfortably. With proper care, results from a thigh lift in Denver and Fort Collins can last for many years.

Outer Thigh Lift: Targets the outer thigh and hip area to enhance overall contour.

Thigh Lift Frequently Asked Questions

How long do thigh lift results last?

Results are long-lasting with proper weight maintenance and healthy lifestyle habits. Natural aging will continue but won’t reverse your outcome.

Will I have scars after a thigh lift?

Yes, scars are present but typically placed in discreet areas and fade over time with proper care.

What are the risks of a thigh lift?

Potential risks include infection, bleeding, fluid buildup, or uneven contours. These are minimized under Dr. Duncan’s meticulous technique and careful follow-up.

When can I return to normal activities?

Most patients resume daily tasks within two weeks and exercise after six to eight weeks, depending on healing.

Is a non-surgical option available?

For mild laxity, Dr. Duncan may recommend energy-based tightening treatments instead of surgery.

Does a thigh lift affect cellulite?

It may slightly reduce the appearance of cellulite by smoothing skin and improving tension, but it’s not designed as a cellulite treatment.
