Body Procedures
Thigh Lift (Thighplasty)
Remove excess fat and skin from the thighs to reveal a smoother, tighter contour — inner, outer, or combination approach.
Overview
A thigh lift — sometimes called a thighplasty — is a plastic surgery procedure designed to remove excess fat and skin from the thighs and produce a smoother, tighter contour. Thigh lift surgery can target the inner (medial) or outer (lateral) thigh, or both.
Many patients pursue a thigh lift after significant weight loss, where loose skin doesn’t respond to diet or exercise. Dr. Hua delivers long-lasting results combined with a luxurious, supportive experience.

Candidacy
Is Thigh Lift right for you?
- You have loose, sagging skin on the thighs

Techniques
Tailored approaches
Inner (Medial) Thigh Lift
Ideal for patients with excess skin and fat on the inner thighs. The procedure tightens and lifts inner-thigh skin, removes excess fat, alleviates chafing, and creates a toned, sculpted appearance.
Outer (Lateral) Thigh Lift
Targets the outer thighs, hips, and sometimes the buttocks and waist — removing loose skin and pockets of fat to create a streamlined contour from the waist to the knees.
Combination Procedures
Combining a thigh lift with other body procedures (breast lift, liposuction, arm lift) consolidates anesthesia and recovery time — often more cost-effective and less disruptive overall.
