Thigh Lift In Millsboro, DE

Thigh Lift Surgery

Thigh lifts, also known as thighplasty, are a reconstructive cosmetic procedure that reduces excess skin and fat. Whether due to aging, weight loss, or genetics, sagging skin on the thighs can affect both appearance and comfort. This surgery restores tighter, more youthful contours by lifting the thighs and improving skin elasticity.

Depending on your goals, there are different types of thigh lift treatment available. Medial thigh lifts target the inner thighs, while a lateral thigh lift targets the outer thighs and hip area. Some patients may also be candidates for a scarless thigh lift, depending on the extent of correction needed and skin quality.

At Peninsula Plastic Surgery in Millsboro, DE, Dr. Perrotta, Dr. Luppens, and Dr. Kerestes bring their extensive surgical expertise to every thigh lift surgery, helping patients regain confidence and a rejuvenated appearance.

Pre-Op Visit

During your pre-op visit, we’ll make sure you feel completely prepared for surgery. Here’s what to expect:

A trained medical assistant will take pre-operative photographs.
A surgeon will explain the procedure to you, discussing techniques and possible risks.
You’ll review all informed consent forms and complete your medical history.
A final physical exam, including vital sign checks, will confirm that you’re healthy enough for surgery.

Final payments are collected during this visit. You’ll also receive a call 24 hours before surgery with your check-in time.

The Thigh Lift Procedure

In most cases, thigh lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia or strong IV sedation. In some patients, especially when undergoing minor modifications, epidural anesthesia may be used.

Surgeons aim to place incisions discreetly within the groin or bikini line, although in some cases, vertical incisions may be necessary for optimal results. If excess fat is present, liposuction may be combined with the lift. After removing the redundant skin and fat, the area is tightened, and post-surgical dressings and compression garments are applied.

Post-Op Recovery

Most patients return home the same day of their procedure. However, older patients or those undergoing more extensive lifts may stay overnight in the hospital.

Expect to return to work within 2–3 weeks, depending on your activity level.
For optimal healing, you’ll need to keep your knees together when sitting or sleeping for up to six weeks.
You will be scheduled for regular follow-up visits so that your progress can be monitored and answer any questions.

You’ll be given detailed post-care instructions to support optimal results and minimize thigh lift scars after 1 year.
