Thigh Lift
Whether due to age, genetics, or weight loss, the thighs are a common area for loose, sagging skin to develop. This can make it difficult to feel confident in fitted clothing or enjoy warm-weather attire. A thigh lift from Dr. Suzanne Yee in Little Rock can remove excess skin and fat to reshape and contour your upper legs, revealing a more toned, youthful appearance.
All about Thigh Lift Surgery
What Is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift, also known as thighplasty, is a body contouring procedure that reduces excess skin and fat in the thigh area. This surgery is often chosen by patients who have lost a significant amount of weight or are experiencing skin laxity due to aging.
What It Can Improve
Thigh lift surgery can target the inner thighs, outer thighs, or both, depending on your needs. A popular procedure after a person has achieved significant weight loss, it’s designed to restore smoother contours, reduce irritation from rubbing skin, and enhance overall leg proportion.
Benefits of a Thigh Lift
Some of the biggest benefits of this surgery are:
- Removal of loose or sagging skin
- Improved shape and tone of the thighs
- Reduction of stubborn fat deposits
- Smoother appearance under clothing
- Boost in confidence and comfort

What to Expect
During a thigh lift procedure, incisions are typically placed in the inner thigh or groin area where they can be easily concealed. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining tissue is tightened for a firmer appearance. The surgery can take several hours to perform, depending on how much contouring is required. After surgery, you will be in our recovery suite until you are approved to head home and begin your recovery there.
Recovery from thigh lift surgery typically includes:
- Temporary bruising and swelling
- Compression garments to support healing
- Return to light activity within 1 to 2 weeks
Full results will become visible as swelling subsides over time. Dr. Yee and her team provide comprehensive aftercare instructions and are available to support you throughout your recovery.

Thigh Lift FAQs
Dr. Yee performs thigh lifts for both men and women. The ideal candidate is a person who has lost a lot of weight or who has loose, sagging skin on their inner and outer thighs due to aging. Thigh lifts can also remove excess fat through liposuction.
This is a common occurrence and Dr. Yee often performs combined body contouring for post weight loss patients that includes tummy tuck, liposuction, thigh lift, arm lift and possibly other procedures. We can develop a custom surgical plan during your consultation.
After a thigh lift, Dr. Yee’s patients will need to take it easy for the first week or two. We will advise when regular activity and exercise can be resumed, usually after about a month. If you have had additional body contouring procedures at the same time as your thigh lift, you may need a longer recovery period.
All surgical procedures require cutting the skin and therefore will leave some amount of scarring. For an inner thigh lift procedure, Dr. Yee will place the incision in the natural skin folds of the pubic area, where it will be well hidden. Outer thigh lifts require an incision around the hip or buttock region, but with proper care this incision should be barely noticeable once fully healed.
Many of our post weight loss patients combine their thigh lift with other procedures that remove loose skin and bring back volume where it is needed. These may include popular surgical choices such as breast augmentation or a tummy tuck, as well as an arm lift.
