When diet and exercise don’t deliver the sculpted and trim legs and thighs you have been looking for, consider thigh lift surgery.

By reducing the excess skin and fat, a thigh lift allows for smoother and more proportioned thighs to enhance your physique. This procedure redefines your leg contours giving you a sculpted and muscular result.
Good candidates for thigh lift surgery:
With his decades of experience and honest approach to cosmetic surgery, Dr. Tim Love helps patients set realistic goals for their thigh lift. Oklahoma City patients generally have the following characteristics to be considered a good candidate for thigh lift surgery:
- Relatively stable weight
- Excessive soft tissue in the inner/middle thigh
- Non-smokers
- Individuals committed to a healthy lifestyle and proper fitness
It is important to note that when having thigh lift surgery, excessive fat is not the only concern for the procedure. Fat can be removed with liposuction alone, but in cases with excess fat, poor skin elasticity, and less than desired contours, you may want to consider having thigh lift surgery—OKC patients are pleased with the results they get from expert plastic surgeon Dr. Tim Love.

Step 1 – Anesthesia
Anesthesia will be administered by a board-certified M.D. anesthesiologist.
Step 2 – The Incision
Incision patterns vary based on the area of areas to be treated, degree of correction and patient and surgeon preference. One common technique used for a thigh lift places incisions in the groin, extending downward wrapping around the back of the thigh. The underlying tissue matrix will be reshaped and tightened, and skin will be reduced and redraped resulting in more proportionate and smoother body contours.
You may qualify for minimal incision medial thigh lift which involves an incision only in the groin area. Your surgeon will determine what’s appropriate.
Improving the contours of the outer thigh may require an incision extending from the groin around the hip. Through these incisions your plastic surgeon will tighten tissues for a smoother, better-toned lower body contour. Advanced techniques usually allow incisions to be placed in strategic locations where they can be hidden by most types of clothing and swimsuits. However, incisions may be extensive.
Step 3 – Closing the Incisions
Deep support sutures within underlying tissues help to form the newly shaped contours. Sutures close the skin incisions.
Step 4 – See the Results
The smoother tighter contouring that result from a thigh lift are apparent almost immediately, although initially obscured by some swelling and bruising. You may be required to wear a compression garment for several weeks following your procedure to minimize swelling and support the tissues as they heal. Following a thigh lift, skin quality is dramatically improved both in appearance and feel.
