Thighplasty (Thigh / Buttock Lift) in Jupiter and Palm Beach County

You may be a candidate for thigh lift surgery (thighplasty) if you have experienced a loss of skin elasticity of the thigh, hip, or buttock areas. You may also desire this procedure if your skin in the thigh area is saggy, has an orange peel, flabby and/or dimpled appearance. The procedure may also be indicated if your thigh appearance improves dramatically when you lift the lax skin. If you are self‑conscious about your lower body appearance you may also want to look into this procedure. The procedure is intended to produce tighter, more attractive thigh and buttock skin with improved contours. It is also intended to decrease irregularities in skin surface.

Dr. Koger generally performs this procedure under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Wide variations in the design of the incisions to meet clothing or personal desires are possible. Lifting the inner thighs requires only short incisions extending from the anterior part of the thigh/groin crease around to the buttock crease. Lateral or anterior thigh lifts can be performed as separate procedures if desired. The buttocks can be lifted with upper or lower incisions.

Consultation with Dr. Koger will show you which specific procedures are available to achieve your personal vision.

The patient is placed in a compression garment (similar to a long‑line elastic support girdle) at the end of surgery to reduce swelling and assist in the natural shrinking and tightening of the skin.

With thigh lifts, initial discomfort is usually controlled with prescription pain medication. Bruising and swelling usually subside within a month, strenuous activities are usually possible in 6 weeks and almost all symptoms are gone in 4 to 6 months.
