Thigh Lift Surgery
in Smithtown, NY
What Is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift is a cosmetic procedure intended to correct unwanted changes to the thighs caused by aging, genetics, or major weight fluctuations. Thigh lift surgery (also known as thighplasty) creates more toned and defined thigh contours by addressing sagging skin and stubborn fat while tightening the underlying tissues. Thigh lift surgery may be combined with other body contouring procedures for comprehensive makeovers.
Am I a Candidate for
Thigh Lift Surgery?
Thigh lifts are suitable for many individuals who have lost a lot of weight and have been left with loose excess skin that can’t be fixed with diet and exercise alone. Ideal candidates for thigh lift surgery are in good health, at a stable weight, and are concerned about the appearance of their thighs.
You may be a good candidate for a thigh lift if:
- You are a healthy non-smoker (or willing to quit).
- You’ve experienced changes in thigh contours due to aging, weight loss, or pregnancy.
- You have realistic expectations about the results.
- You are willing to commit to a healthy lifestyle post-surgery.

How Is Thigh Lift Surgery Performed?
Thigh lift surgery is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia and takes two to three hours, depending on the approach determined during your consultation. Dr. Pincus will make incisions based on the type of thigh lift and the patient’s individual needs.
Once the incision is made, our surgeon will remove excess skin and fat, recontour the thighs, and tighten the remaining skin and underlying tissue for a smoother, more toned look. The incisions are then closed with sutures and dressings are applied.In some cases, liposuction surgery may be combined with a thigh lift to remove stubborn fat deposits and enhance the overall shape of the thighs.
What Is the Recovery From Thigh Lift Surgery Like?
Complete recovery from thigh lift surgery takes several weeks. Patients can help ensure the best results and decrease the likelihood of complication risks by following Dr. Pincus’s post-op instructions. You should expect swelling, bruising, and mild to moderate discomfort in the first few days after surgery, but any pain experienced can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter medication.
Most patients are advised to take two weeks off work and avoid strenuous activities for six weeks. Wearing compression garments can help minimize swelling and aid healing.
What Results Can I Expect After a Thigh Lift?
After the swelling and bruising subsides, you should see a dramatic change in the shape of your thighs. The skin will be smoother and tighter, and your legs will look more toned and youthful. Thigh lift results are long-lasting when combined with a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, proper skin care, and maintaining a stable weight.
How Much Does a Thigh Lift Cost?
The price of a thigh lift can vary based on each patient’s individualized treatment plan. The total cost of your procedure will include our surgeon’s fee, as well as preoperative tests if needed, anesthesia fees, surgical facility costs, compression garments, and any medications prescribed for recovery. During your consultation with Dr. Pincus, you will receive a breakdown of the costs and financing options.

My experience with Dr.Pincus and staff was amazing. Dr. Pincus is wonderful he made me feel completely comfortable and assisted me in the right direction in the size of my implants so I didn’t need to do a lift. Apparently my surgery ended up being a little more then we thought and I needed extra work and he did an amazing job correcting my breast that was out of place. The staff and nurses are so friendly and make you feel at home here. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to do my implant replacement. I highly recommend Dr. Pincus! — JS
I had gastric bypass surgery 18 years ago and this was the icing on the cake. I told Dr. Pincus I would not wear a bikini I jand that I just wanted to feel better in my clothes. My tummy tuck results were better than I imagined! I just ordered crop top tank tops and cannot wait to wear them! Dr Pincus and his staff are the best! — C.T.
Dr. Pincus and staff are absolutely amazing. I waited a very long time for a Mommy Makeover. Having a rare anesthesia issue Dr.Pincus and his team made sure that I was going to be 100% safe during surgery. After my first consultation I knew I was going to be in good hands. Speaking of hands, his hands are pure gold. I am beyond amazed with the results and I am only three weeks post op. I was extremely specific with certain details regarding my surgery. All I can say is Dr. Pincus understood the assignment!!! I will be forever grateful to all for giving me my confidence back!! Five stars is not nearly enough! — D.Z.
