As we get older, our skin naturally loses elasticity, keeping it from “bouncing back” like it used to—particularly if you’ve lost a significant amount of weight. Available at our San Diego plastic surgery practice, a thigh and buttock lift is designed to improve your contours and provide a tighter, more attractive thigh and buttocks.

Lifting the entire thigh and buttock (circumferential lower body lift) will require much longer incisions that start in the buttock crease, extend around the groin, up over the side of the abdomen, over the flank and across the back.
Since 1988, more than 36,000 patients have had safe, successful procedures at La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre & Medical Spa.
For larger thigh lifts, one or two nights care in a hospital or skilled nursing facility is usually required. While you’ll be encouraged to get up and walk soon after your surgery to encourage circulation, the first week or two after your thigh lift will require you to spend a lot of time resting and taking it easy.
