What happens during a thigh lift?

• Before the procedure, your surgeon marks incision lines while you’re standing. They may position the sagging skin at different angles to guide these efforts.
• Your anesthesiologist will give you anesthesia to put you to sleep so you won’t feel any pain during the surgery.
• Your surgeon makes an incision in your groin. Depending on the type of thigh lift you have, the incision may extend around the back of your thigh, down toward your knee or around your hip and back.
• Your surgeon removes fat, repositions tissue, and tightens nearby muscles. They also trim away excess skin.
• Stitches (sutures) help secure tissue deep in your thigh to support your new shape.
• Before completing the procedure, your surgeon uses stitches, clips, or a special skin adhesive to close the incision.
