Why this isn't your final quote

We can't give you a 100% exact number until your surgeon sees your case in your medical video consultation. Your final quote may move from this estimate based on additional studies your surgeon may need, your specific anatomy, or projected recovery time. Most patients land within 15% of what you're seeing here — we'd rather tell you that upfront than surprise you later.

About this procedure

- What is it?: Removal of excess skin and fat from the thighs, tightening the remaining tissue for a smoother, firmer contour. Often combined with liposuction.

- Who is it for?: People with sagging thigh skin after major weight loss or with age, often with chafing or difficulty with clothing.

- Recovery: Drains for several days. Because early mobility is limited, the first 7 nights are in a recovery house with 24/7 nursing, then a hotel. Full exercise around 6 weeks.

- Common Question: Where are the scars? Usually in the groin crease (inner thigh); your surgeon positions them to stay hidden.

- Price: Starting at $7,572 USD. Includes surgeon's fee, hospital and OR, anesthesia, and compression garment.

WHAT PATIENTS SAY

Verified patient reviews from CMCPER-board-certified surgeon

Dr. Foraste is an excellent professional. From the first moment he transmits confidence, explains everything with great clarity, and his deep knowledge and experience are evident. His manner is kind, close, and human, which makes one feel heard and in good hands. I loved how he answered every one of my questions with patience and honesty, always prioritizing health and well-being in addition to the aesthetic side. Without a doubt, I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, ethical plastic surgeon with quality results.

Dr. Foraste performed my neck liposuction. He was careful at every moment, always attentive to make sure I was well during and after the procedure, as was his assistant. I'm happy with the results. He explained the post-op care in detail and was always available for my questions. TOTALLY RECOMMENDED!!

Frequently asked questions about this procedure

Why a recovery house for this one?

A thigh lift limits early walking and the incisions are in a high-tension area, so 7 nights with 24/7 nursing keeps healing on track before you move to a hotel.

Where are the scars?

Most commonly in the groin crease for an inner-thigh lift; for larger corrections they may extend down the inner thigh. They fade over time.

Is liposuction included?

It's often combined when there's excess fat as well, your surgeon confirms your plan in the consultation.
