Loose skin on the inner or outer thighs can remain after significant weight loss, sometimes causing chafing or discomfort. A thigh lift removes excess skin and tightens the tissue for a firmer, smoother contour.
Dr. Guarda tailors the technique to the area and degree of correction, often combining it with liposuction.
Why patients choose it
- Firmer, smoother thigh contour

Questions
Frequently asked
Where are thigh-lift incisions placed?
Depending on the area treated, incisions sit in the groin crease or along the inner thigh, positioned to stay concealed.
Will I need liposuction too?
Often the two are combined — liposuction refines contour while the lift removes loose skin.
How long is recovery?
Desk work usually resumes in one to two weeks, with full activity around six weeks.
