Dr E is wonderful! Answered all my questions, did a beautiful job on my mini tummy tuck and my scar is nice and low and straight and beautiful! The whole process was straightforward and felt so seamless and I felt super confident with Dr E!
Very friendly and helpful staff. Made me feel welcomed. I highly recommend Renuance. I will definitely be going back myself.
I felt he wanted the best possible results by suggesting additional scar revision I hadn't thought of. Good eye contact and confident.
Dr. Debbie goes over each step and explains where she would recommend for Botox. Plus she takes her time during the treatment.
I LOVE Dr. Debbie! She is kind, caring, and considerate. Definitely helps build trust in a relationship, which is MAJOR when getting work done!
Chelsea was so sweet and explained everything to me, It was my first time and this meant a lot! The procedure itself was amazing and painless with fabulous results, however, having Chelsea walk me through everything from expectations to how the procedure would play out, was the best part.
Dr. Debbie is awesome! She is very professional, caring and knowledgeable. I will continue to go back to see her for further treatments. Thank you Dr. Debbie!!
[Highly satisfied because of] the professionalism of the staff. I love my results. The care I received was exceptional.
I have been a patient with Renuance for 20 years. I have only positive and wonderful things to say about the doctors, nurses and staff. Five stars every time.
From beginning to end, the service was superb! Jacob Cooley is extremely pleasant! I was nervous when I first called to inquire about a breast augmentation/ lift. He answered every single question. He’s knowledgeable and calmed my nerves. Then I met the queen herself, Rachel Ford. WHAT A DREAM! So informative/passionate about her work. I can tell that she truly cares for her patients. The best bedside manners. I’ve never felt like she was rushing through my appointments. She always made sure that ALL my questions were answered. Dr. Ford restored my confidence and I am over the moon with my results! I cannot say enough great things about Renuance. [Single best thing is...] The day of my procedure, EVERY SINGLE PERSON was in the BEST mood. I went in almost crying because of how nervous I was. Their great moods completely shifted mine. The nurses, the anesthesiologist, the surgical tech, Dr. Ford, they were all in a happy mood. I want to say thank you to them because that genuinely made me feel sooo comfortable. The anesthesiologist was cracking jokes (he knew how nervous I was). He made me laugh right before being put under. He answered any questions I had. He asked me why I felt so uneasy and he accomplished tackling every single question I had to calm my nerves. Overall, I felt comfortable. I felt like I was under the care of my own family. Greatest feeling when you’re an anxious person.

Thigh Lift FAQs

What is the difference between a thigh lift and liposuction?

Thigh lifts remove excess skin and fat through surgical excision, making them ideal for patients with poor skin elasticity. Liposuction removes fat but doesn’t address loose skin. If you have good skin elasticity with excess fat, liposuction alone may be sufficient. When skin elasticity is poor, a thigh lift with or without liposuction provides better results.

How long does it take to see results?

You’ll notice immediate improvement in your thigh contours after surgery, though initial swelling will mask some results. Most swelling subsides within 3-5 weeks. Final results are visible around 3-6 months when all swelling has resolved and tissues have fully healed.

Does thigh lift surgery hurt?

Most patients experience moderate discomfort for the first week, which is well-controlled with prescribed pain medications. Ice application and elevation help reduce swelling and discomfort. Most patients are surprised that recovery is more comfortable than anticipated.

How many procedures will I need?

Most patients achieve their desired results with a single thigh lift procedure. Occasionally, minor touch-ups may be desired after complete healing.

What is recovery like after thigh lift surgery?

You’ll wear compression garments for 4-6 weeks to support healing and optimize results. Most patients return to light activities within 2-3 weeks and full activities including exercise by 6-8 weeks. You may resume driving and walking for exercise after 2-3 weeks when these activities don’t cause pain.

What makes thigh lift results different from non-surgical treatments?

Thigh lift surgery provides permanent removal of excess skin that cannot be achieved through non-surgical methods. While treatments like radiofrequency can provide modest skin tightening, only surgery can address significant skin laxity and create dramatic contour improvements.

What is the best age for thigh lift surgery?

Thigh lift surgery can benefit adults of any age who have excess skin and realistic expectations. The key factors are having stable weight, good overall health, and adequate skin laxity to justify surgical intervention. Most patients are in their 30s-60s.

Can thigh lift be combined with other procedures?

Thigh lifts are typically performed on their own, as every patient’s needs and anatomy are unique. In selected cases, other procedures may be performed at the same time, depending on the individual patient and their surgical plan.

How long do thigh lift results last?

Thigh lift results are considered permanent, as the excess skin that’s removed will not return. However, your body continues to age naturally, and significant weight fluctuations can affect results. Maintaining stable weight and healthy lifestyle habits preserves your results for many years.

Is thigh lift surgery safe?

Yes, when performed by experienced plastic surgeons in accredited facilities, thigh lift surgery has a strong safety record. Our QUAD A-accredited surgery center maintains hospital-level safety standards, and our experienced surgeons take every precaution to minimize risks and ensure optimal outcomes.
