How much would a medial thigh lift cost in South Florida? (photos)

Question

I have lost 120 lbs through simply diet & exercise and have kept the weight off for 10+ years. At that time I had lipo done in the thigh region in my mid twenties to eliminate the chafing, the annoying chub rub for functionality and exercise. Although my thighs got thinner the skin never fully retracted back. I want to be able to look and feel completely sexy for the first time in my life and wear a bikini without covering. Can any South Florida doc help me achieve my goal? Thanks in advance!!

This procedure costs between $3-4k.  It includes excision of skin and liposuction.  Recovery is about 4 weeks total but you can be relatively active after 2 weeks.

Thanks for the question. When it comes to costs of surgery, there may be many “variables” involved. The specific surgeon's credentials/experience level (or lack thereof), the specific geographic area you are looking at, the different operations available, the location of the procedure (quality of surgery facility), type/quality of anesthesia provider… are some of the potential variables involved. You will find some average costs of surgery on this website and on individual plastic surgeons' websites as well.In regards to outcome of the planned procedure, more important than costs of the procedures will be careful selection of your plastic surgeon. I would suggest starting with the American Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons.Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery. Ask to SEE lots of examples of their work AND preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done.Be very careful with your decision-making. You will find, while doing your due diligence, that there are many different “specialties” who will offer their services to you; again, I strongly recommend you concentrate on surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.Again, I would also suggest that you do not base your selection of plastic surgeon primarily on costs of surgery; keep in mind that revisionary surgery may be more costly in many ways. I hope this, and the attached link, helps. Best wishes.

Costs for Inner thigh Lift can vary depending on the surgeon and other factors such as where the procedure is performed (surgi-center vs hospital).

Steven Schuster, MD, FACS · Answer

Congrats on your weight loss.  You should be very proud of your accomplishments.  Whenever I see a massive weight loss patient I like to discuss a surgical plan which would include other areas that you might want treated, if they haven't already been done.  You may want to consider breast lift and implants, arm lift abdominoplasty and or total body lift, and so on.  As far as the inner thigh lift the surgical fee ranges from 5000 to 6000 depending on the type of thigh lift done and the OR and anesthesia fees would add another 2500.  I would suggest seeing several doctors in consultation and many of us do not charge for the consultation.  Good luck, Dr. Schuster in Boca Raton.

Excellent job on the weight loss---that is impressive!  That's a difficult question to answer as there is some variability in pricing depending on who does your surgery and where/how it is performed.  Typically you will have a fee for the surgeon, a fee for the anesthesiologist, and a fee for the facility.  You can expect that at most legitimate plastic surgeons offices the cost will be several thousand dollars.  Please make sure that you consult with a board certified/eligible plastic surgeon that has experience in body contouring surgery!!! And again congrats on your accomplishment!  Good luck!
