Is a Thigh Lift Painful?

Any discomfort you may feel after the surgery, such as tightness or bruising, will typically subside within a week and is pretty mild to begin with. You will, however, feel some swelling, which can be best managed with ice, pain medication, or compression garments. The procedure is not painful, and you won’t feel anything with anesthesia.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

A series of appointments will be needed for a thigh lift, beginning with the initial consultation, where you’ll go over information regarding the procedure and build a customized plan that meets your goals and individual anatomy. Then, you may have a pre-operative appointment to go over the surgical plan before scheduling the date of surgery itself. After the surgery, several follow-up appointments are typically required for Dr. Pirani to monitor progress accurately, ensure you’re healing correctly, and ensure that results are coming in as expected.

How Long Until I See Results?

While it typically takes about 3-6 months to see and appreciate the full extent of the surgery’s results, some initial changes will be noticeable on day one. Give your body time to heal and adjust while swelling continuously reduces, and you’ll gradually start to see the results reveal themselves.

Can I Combine a Thigh Lift With Other Procedures?

We’ve repeatedly seen patients combine thigh lifts with arm lifts, body lifts, liposuction, tummy tucks, and more. Patients choose to do this because it reduces the overall recovery time by getting them done all together at Toronto Plastic Surgery Center and creates a more dramatic overall transformation. Dr. Pirani can discuss other procedures or treatments that might benefit you if you want a more comprehensive makeover. To get ideas, be sure to explore our other treatment options.

What Are the Risks Associated With a Thigh Lift?

Potential risks of a thigh lift include infection, bleeding, scarring, fluid accumulation, and changes in skin sensation. Rarely, patients may experience delayed healing or dissatisfaction with results. Working with a skilled surgeon like Dr. Pirani in Toronto greatly reduces these risks and ensures you receive the highest standard of care.

A thigh lift is a procedure designed to reduce the circumference of the upper inner thighs and lift sagging skin in this area. It is often combined with liposuction of the thighs in order to optimize the results.

Depending on the amount of excess soft tissue and the quality of a patient’s skin tone, there are several options for performing a thigh lift. For patients with only a small amount amount of sagging tissue limited to the upper thighs, a mini thigh lift (short scar) with liposuction is often the best option. In a mini thigh lift, the incision is usually well hidden in the groin crease.

For patients with excess soft tissues throughout the thighs down to the knees, a full thigh lift will improve overall thigh contour and circumference the best. This requires a long vertical scar that runs from the groin down to the knee along the inner thigh.

Which Procedure is Right For Me?

If your excess thigh tissue is limited to the upper third of your thighs, then a mini thigh lift may be the best option for you. If, however, you have excess soft tissue throughout the length of your thighs, then a full thigh lift may be indicated. This is more often the case with post-bariatric patients.

To schedule a consultation with Toronto Thigh Lift and Mini Thigh Lift surgeon, Dr. Pirani, call 416-360-8772.

What Are the Benefits of a Thigh Lift?

The benefits of a thigh lift primarily focus on improving the appearance and shape of thighs by eliminating excess fat and sagging skin, but they also include physical benefits. The surgery enhances the overall symmetry and proportion of the lower body to create a more harmonized look across the entire body. For many, this leads to more comfort and confidence in wearing dresses, skirts, shorts, and swimwear while also reducing skin irritation or discomfort caused by extra skin rubbing together. Physical activities become easier, and hygiene becomes easier to maintain.

Who Are the Best Candidates For a Thigh Lift?

If your excess thigh tissue is limited to the upper third of your thighs, then a mini thigh lift may be your best option. If, however, you have excess soft tissue throughout the length of your thighs, then a full thigh lift may be indicated. This is more often the case with post-bariatric patients. If this is you, ensure that you are also in overall good health (including not smoking), don’t have any underlying conditions that could alter the results of the procedure, and are realistic in your expectations of this procedure.

Talking to a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon, like Dr. Pirani, can help determine whether you are a good candidate for a thigh lift.

What’s the
First step?

Speak with Dr. Pirani in Toronto about a thigh lift. He’ll review important information such as your medical history, ensure no hiccups could hinder your ability to receive treatment, assess your thighs, and work with you through your procedure goals. His purpose is to educate you and help you make an informed decision about whether or not this is the best course of action to correct issues with the thighs.

If you have other insecurities or concerns, Dr. Pirani can also suggest other procedures that can be combined with a thigh lift if you’re interested. Again, this is your time to ask questions and be as comfortable as possible before proceeding.

What to Expect on the Day of Thigh Lift Surgery

In your consultation with Dr. Pirani, you will have received information about the expectations before, during, and after the thigh lift procedure, including aftercare and details of the surgery itself. As a general overview, you’ll start with anesthesia (the type of anesthesia used will be determined before your surgery) to get you as comfortable as possible. Then, Dr. Pirani will begin making incisions in areas dependent on the type of thigh surgery that is chosen. The incision is typically hidden in the groin area for a mini thigh lift, while a full thigh lift may require a longer incision along the inner thigh. Excess skin and fat will start to be removed until you’re left with tightened tissue and a smooth surface.

After your incisions are completed and closed, you’ll be moved to a recovery room until it is deemed safe for you to be discharged. At home, you’ll be able to start the recovery process with specific guidance from Dr. Pirani.

Thigh Lift Recovery

It will take several weeks for you to recover from a thigh lift, during which time you’ll need to properly adhere to your aftercare instructions and care for the wound. Swelling, discomfort, and possibly bruising are common, but compression garments, ice packs, and pain medication will make them more manageable. After 4-6 weeks, you can return to your everyday routine and activities, though light and easy tasks can resume after 1-2 weeks.

During your recovery, you will also have scheduled additional appointments for Dr. Pirani to track your progress and make sure you’re healing properly.

How Much Does a Thigh Lift Cost in Toronto, Ontario?

On average, a Thigh Lift in Toronto costs $12,000, but it depends on several factors. Dr. Pirani will give you a more accurate cost estimate when you come into the Toronto office for your consultation to break down the costs for the surgery, surgeon expertise, medications, anesthesia, facility fees, and whether additional operations are being added on. You’ll also have the option to choose financing starting at $271 a month if that is of interest.
