Thigh Lift

Thigh Lift (Thighplasty) in San Antonio

A thigh lift in San Antonio, also known as thighplasty, is a body contouring procedure designed to reshape the thighs by removing excess skin and fat, creating smoother skin and more defined lower body contours. This procedure is especially beneficial for patients experiencing skin laxity after significant weight loss, aging, or changes in body composition.

At Alon Aesthetics Plastic Surgery, Dr. Regina Fearmonti customizes every thigh lift procedure to create natural-looking, balanced results that complement your overall body proportions.

Benefits of a Thigh Lift

Removes excess loose or sagging skin
Improves thigh contour and lower body proportions
Creates smoother, firmer-looking skin
Reduces skin irritation or chafing caused by excess tissue
Improves confidence in fitted clothing, shorts, and swimwear
Long-lasting results with proper weight maintenance

Am I a Good Candidate for a Thigh Lift?

You may be a good candidate for thighplasty in San Antonio if you:

Have loose or sagging skin on the inner or outer thighs
Experienced significant weight loss
Notice excess skin that does not improve with exercise
Experience skin irritation or chafing from excess tissue
Are at or near a stable weight
Are in overall good health

A consultation is the best way to determine whether a thigh lift, liposuction, or combination treatment is the best option for your goals.

What Happens During a Thigh Lift?

Also termed thighplasty, this procedure reshapes the thighs by reducing excess skin and fat to create smoother skin and improved contour of the thighs and lower body.

While liposuction can remove excess fat, only a thigh lift addresses excess, poorly elastic skin. For many patients, combining these techniques can provide the most comprehensive contouring result.

Dr. Fearmonti customizes the procedure based on your anatomy, skin quality, and desired outcome.

Your procedure may include:

Removal of excess loose skin
Reduction of stubborn fat deposits
Liposuction for contour refinement when appropriate
Tightening and reshaping of the inner and/or outer thighs
Improvement of overall lower body proportion and symmetry

Procedure Time: Approximately 2–4+ hours
Anesthesia: General anesthesia

Recovery & Downtime

Recovery is an important part of your results, and our team will guide you every step of the way.

Most patients return to light activity within 1–2 weeks
Swelling, bruising, tightness, and soreness are expected initially
Compression garments are typically worn to support healing and contour
Avoid strenuous activity, lower body workouts, and heavy lifting for approximately 4–6 weeks
Final results continue to improve over several months as swelling resolves

Healing varies from patient to patient depending on the extent of correction and whether additional contouring procedures are performed.

Thigh Lift Results

You will notice an immediate improvement in thigh contour following surgery, with continued refinement as your body heals. Results are long-lasting and can dramatically improve lower body shape, skin smoothness, and overall confidence.

Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle can help preserve your results over time.

Scarring After a Thigh Lift

Because excess skin is surgically removed, incisions are necessary. These are strategically placed in natural creases or less visible areas whenever possible to support optimal contour while minimizing visibility. With proper scar care, scars typically fade significantly over time.

At Alon Aesthetics, we take a comprehensive approach to scar healing and offer advanced in-office treatments to further improve the appearance, texture, and tone of surgical scars.

Treatments to Enhance Scar Healing:

Laser resurfacing with 1540 and 2940 technology to improve texture and discoloration
Potenza RF microneedling to stimulate collagen and soften scar tissue
Medical-grade microneedling to support skin remodeling and healing

These treatments can be introduced at the appropriate stage of healing and are customized based on your skin and scar progression. Our goal at Alon Aesthetics is not only a beautiful surgical result—but the most refined, natural-looking finish possible.

Cost of a Thigh Lift in San Antonio

Thigh lift procedures start at $12,000.

The total cost varies depending on the extent of skin removal, whether liposuction is included, and overall surgical complexity. Financing options may be available.

Yes, thigh lift surgery is especially popular for patients who have experienced significant weight loss and are left with excess skin.

How long is recovery after a thigh lift?
Most patients return to light activity within 1–2 weeks, with full healing continuing over several weeks to months.

Will I have scars after a thigh lift?

How long do thigh lift results last?
Results are long-lasting, especially when maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.

Can liposuction be combined with a thigh lift?
Yes, liposuction is commonly combined with thighplasty to further refine contour and improve lower body proportions.
