Thigh Lift Specialist in North Brunswick, NJ and Princeton, NJ

A thigh lift involves various factors that contribute to the total amount. This estimate does not include surgical facilities, anesthesia, prescription medication, medical tests, or other associated costs.

Thigh lift fees are influenced by a myriad of factors including the type of procedure performed, the extent of the alterations, experience, and the geographic location of the clinic. Prospective patients need to consult their clinic to receive an estimate for the total associated costs.

Most health insurance companies do not cover thigh lifts and their complications, but patients undergoing Partridge Plastic Surgery can rest assured knowing they accept most health plan insurances and that their compassionate staff will work with patients to identify potential areas of coverage. Patients can also find offers on the Partridge Plastic Surgery website to ensure they pay less and feel better.

A thigh lift (also called “thighplasty”) is an invasive cosmetic surgery performed to remove excess fat and skin from the thighs. Among the most frequent reasons patients undergo thigh lifts is to smooth and form the thighs after losing a significant amount of weight. Significant weight loss can often result in loose or sagging skin whose elasticity cannot naturally be restored.

Skin also loosens naturally during the aging process and individuals may consider a thigh lift to restore a youthful and healthier appearance. Some people also choose steps to take more shape and feel more comfortable while wearing swimwear, shorts, and jeans. For patients considering a thigh lift following weight loss, it is advised they maintain a stable weight for at least 6 months and have already reached their target weight. Weight fluctuations can affect the results after lifting the thigh.

Before the thigh lift procedure, patients undergo a thorough evaluation to confirm they are suitable candidates for surgery. They are advised to stop taking certain medications and supplements, such as ibuprofen, aspirin, and herbal remedies, that could increase the risk of bleeding. This preparation helps ensure a safer procedure and smoother recovery. Patients will be administered general anesthesia to ensure optimal comfortability for the procedure.

The surgeon makes incisions based on the specific type of thigh lift being performed, then removes excess skin and fat to reshape and contour the thighs. The incisions are closed with sutures, and the entire procedure usually takes around two hours. However, patients should expect to spend most of the day at the facility due to pre-operative and post-operative care. After surgery, patients will need to rest and take time off from work to allow for proper healing and recovery.

It usually takes several weeks for patients to recover from a thigh lift. Patients must also refrain from vigorous exercise or lifting heavy objects for at least six weeks following the surgery. Patients are advised to focus on keeping their legs elevated as much as possible during this period.

Patients may notice only slight contour changes in their thighs immediately after the procedure. However, as swelling subsides and healing progresses over the following months, the final results- a more toned and sculpted appearance- will gradually become visible.
