Body lift | Thighplasty

Have the effects of aging, weight fluctuations, or other factors impacted your body shape, leaving you longing for a more toned and sculpted appearance? Harvard-trained plastic surgeon Dr. Ginger Xu at Ethos Plastic Surgery offers transformative body contouring procedures, including body lift and thighplasty, which are designed to tighten and remove unwanted sagging skin in different areas of the body to help you achieve your desired shape.

Most patients seeking these types of body contouring procedures struggle with a significant amount of loose, hanging skin and a loss of youthful tone and contours as a result of weight loss or age-related skin deflation and sagging.

In massive weight loss patients, this skin may result in a feeling of unwanted heaviness which can be frustrating despite having done the hard work of achieving a healthier weight and lifestyle. In these cases, patients often feel disheartened as their shape is also hidden by these heavy folds of hanging skin.

Thighplasty, also known as a thigh lift, is a surgical procedure designed to remove loose, excess skin that may be draping or pulling down from the thighs, resulting in a smoother, tighter leg contour that appears more toned, athletic, and rejuvenated.

A lower body lift is a comprehensive procedure that removes, tightens, and lifts loose hanging tissue that may be creating unwanted heaviness and hiding your underlying shape. This surgery targets excess skin and fat in multiple areas of the lower body, such as the abdomen, hips, and buttocks, to create a more smooth and sculpted appearance.
