Thigh Lift Surgery in St. Louis, MO

Thigh lift surgery in St. Louis, MO, commonly referred to as thighplasty, is a transformative cosmetic procedure aimed at reshaping and contouring the thighs by eliminating excess skin and fat. 

This surgery is particularly beneficial for individuals who may be experiencing sagging skin due to significant weight loss, aging, or hereditary factors. 

At Amelia St. Louis, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rafi Fredman and plastic surgeon Dr. Alan Tom focus on customizing this procedure to align with each patient’s unique aesthetic goals.

The primary objective of a thigh lift in St. Louis, MO, is to enhance the overall shape and proportion of the legs, which can significantly boost self-esteem and confidence. By removing excess skin and fat from the inner thighs, patients can achieve a more toned and youthful appearance. 

The procedure typically involves making incisions on the inner thigh, permitting the removal of unwanted fat and skin while tightening the surrounding tissue. Based on individual needs, various techniques can be selected, including mini, standard, and more extensive thigh lifts.

Recovery from a thigh lift generally spans about 1-2 weeks, during which patients may face some restrictions on physical activity for up to 6 weeks post-surgery. While initial results can be noticed shortly after the procedure, the most refined outcomes typically develop around 12 months post-surgery.
