Thigh Lift (Thighplasty)

Refined Inner-Thigh Contouring with Dr. Puyana

Thigh Lift Designed to Smooth, Tighten, and Refine the Inner Thighs

Inner-thigh laxity presents in different ways. Some patients experience mild to moderate skin looseness that can improve with tightening technologies, while others develop significant skin redundancy that requires surgical removal to restore contour.

The objective is always the same: smoother thighs, improved comfort, and natural leg proportions — without unnecessary scarring or overtreatment.

At Puyana 

Plastic Surgery

Dr. Salomon Puyana approaches thigh contouring through a dual-option strategy, selecting the least invasive method capable of delivering meaningful, lasting improvement.

What Is Thigh Lift (Thighplasty)?

A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a surgical procedure that:

  • Removes excess skin from the thighs

  • Improves firmness and contour

  • Reduces skin rubbing and discomfort

  • Creates a smoother, more streamlined leg appearance

The procedure is most commonly performed on the inner thighs, where skin laxity is best addressed surgically. When appropriate, liposuction may be combined to refine shape and enhance overall contour.

Dr. Salomon Puyana customizes each thigh lift based on skin quality, tissue redundancy, and the patient’s body proportions.

Minimally Invasive vsSurgical Thigh Lift

1. Minimally Invasive Thigh Tightening

(Ultrasound & Radiofrequency-Assisted Contouring)

For patients with mild to moderate inner-thigh laxity, a minimally invasive option may provide meaningful improvement without long incisions.

This approach may combine:

  • Ultrasound-assisted fat disruption for gentle contour refinement
  • InMode Quantum™ radiofrequency technology to stimulate skin contraction and firmness

Best suited for patients who:

  • Have good baseline skin elasticity
  • Do not have significant skin excess
  • Want improvement with minimal scarring and faster recovery

This technique focuses on tightening and smoothing, not skin excision.

2. Surgical Thigh Lift (Traditional Thighplasty)

For patients with moderate to severe skin redundancy, particularly after weight loss or with advanced laxity, surgical skin removal is necessary to achieve durable results.

This approach:

  • Removes excess inner-thigh skin
  • Improves firmness and contour
  • Reduces friction and discomfort during movement
  • Places incisions strategically along the inner thigh to optimize concealment

While this technique involves an incision, it provides the most reliable correction for significant thigh ptosis.

Why Choose Thigh Lift (Thighplasty)?

Patients choose a thigh lift to:

  • Improve inner-thigh skin laxity
  • Achieve smoother thigh contours
  • Enhance comfort during walking and activity
  • Feel more confident in fitted clothing and swimwear

When performed with proper technique, a thigh lift delivers meaningful contour improvement while maintaining a natural, balanced appearance.

Thigh Lift (Thighplasty):A Higher Standard of Care

Inner-thigh contouring requires precision, restraint, and expert scar placement.

Dr. Salomon Puyana prioritizes:

  • Strategic incision placement along the inner thigh
  • Controlled skin removal for smooth contours
  • Preservation of natural thigh shape
  • Adequate surgical time with no rushing

Thigh lift surgery is performed in our fully accredited surgical facility, and patients return home the same day.Every step is designed to support safety, comfort, and refined outcomes.

What to Expect Before, During, & After Surgery

  • Pre-Surgery Planning

    Dr. Puyana evaluates skin quality, degree of laxity, fat distribution, and lifestyle factors to design a personalized plan.

  • Procedure Day

    Thigh contouring is performed using the selected technique — minimally invasive tightening, surgical thigh lift, or a combination — in an accredited surgical environment. Patients return home the same day.

  • Recovery

    Recovery depends on the technique used. Minimally invasive approaches allow faster return to daily activities, while surgical thigh lifts require a longer healing period. Swelling gradually subsides, and contour refinement continues over several months.
