Thigh Lift
A thigh lift is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and contour the thighs by removing excess skin and fat. This treatment is ideal for individuals seeking to achieve firmer, more toned legs after significant weight loss or due to aging. At Refine, MD Northwest in Bellevue and Kirkland, Washington, we specialize in performing thigh lift surgery to help patients feel more confident in their appearance.

What Is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the inner or outer thighs to create a more proportionate and toned look. The procedure targets areas resistant to exercise or diet, addressing sagging skin and improving overall leg contour.

Thigh Lift is particularly effective for:

Excess Skin Removal
Eliminates sagging skin caused by aging or weight loss.
Improved Leg Contour
Enhances the overall appearance of the thighs.
Increased Comfort
 Reduces chafing and discomfort caused by loose skin.

What to Expect With a Thigh Lift

Initial Consultation

Your thigh lift journey begins with a consultation at Refine, MD Northwest. During this consultation, Dr. McIntosh will discuss your goals, evaluate your thighs’ condition, and recommend the best surgical approach for you.

Customized Surgical Plan

We understand that every patient is unique. Whether addressing inner or outer thighs, our team will create a tailored plan to suit your specific needs and deliver optimal results.

Pre-Operative Preparation

We’ll provide you with detailed instructions to prepare for surgery. This may include adjustments to your medications and guidelines for post-operative care to ensure a smooth recovery.

The Procedure

A thigh lift is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes two to four hours. Depending on your needs, Dr. McIntosh may make incisions along the inner thighs, outer thighs, or groin area to remove excess skin and fat. The incisions are carefully placed to minimize visible scarring.

Post-Treatment Care

After surgery, patients may experience mild swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with medication. A compression garment is often recommended to support healing and reduce swelling. Most patients return to normal activities within four to six weeks.
