Non invasive Thigh Lift?

Question

Hi, please can I have some honest advise. I really suffer with terrible loose skin on my thighs. I exercise regularly but it it really makes me self conscious. Apart from a surgical thigh lift is there any treatment’s out there that will work that won’t cost a fortune like a thigh lift. I have wasted money in the past with CACI/RF treatments and nothing has worked. As I get older it is worse than ever.

Hello, and thank you for your question regarding non-invasive options to address loose skin on your thighs. I understand how frustrating this can be—especially when you’re exercising regularly and still struggling with skin laxity. You’re definitely not alone in this, and I appreciate your honesty.

If you are not ready for a surgical thigh lift, one treatment to consider is Endolift. Endolift is a minimally invasive laser treatment that uses a tiny fiber (about the size of a hair) inserted just under the skin. The laser energy targets the deeper layers of skin and fat, stimulating collagen production, tightening the tissue, and improving overall skin tone and elasticity. It also promotes some fat reduction and skin retraction in the treated area.

Endolift is done in-office, typically under local anesthesia, with minimal downtime. Many patients see results after one treatment, though multiple sessions may be needed depending on the severity of the skin laxity. It is significantly less expensive than a surgical thigh lift and can be a good middle-ground for patients who aren’t ready for surgery or who want to avoid large scars.

However, it's important to have realistic expectations. Endolift works best for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity. If the skin is severely loose or hanging, surgical thigh reduction may still be the most effective and long-lasting option.

I hope I’ve helped answer your question about non-surgical solutions for thigh laxity. If you're considering Endolift, I recommend consulting with an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon or laser specialist who performs the treatment regularly. They can determine whether you’re a good candidate and offer you the best plan moving forward.

Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen, MD, MBA, FACS, FICS.

There are a few options available to tighten the thighs apart from a surgical thigh lift.  J Plasma is done in conjunction with liposuction to tighten skin.  BodyTite is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require general anesthesia and can tighten tissues.  An exam is needed to determine if you are a candidate.  These procedures are best for those with mild to moderate skin laxity, so if yours is more severe then a surgical thigh lift may be the best option.
