Vinny is super intelligent, thoughtful and amazing! Dr Ford is experienced, kind,wonderful!!!!! I was well informed of all the pros and cons and was able to make an informed decision. All my questions were answered. My expectations were exceeded. Thank you!!!!!! :)
I love, love, love Renuance Cosmetic Surgery. Their staff is the best! They are ALL Super friendly, professional, knowledgeable and caring. Dr.Hill is an amazing plastic surgeon who did my lipo 360 and breast implants. I had botox done from Miss Chelsea whom is super friendly. Miss Vinny (Senior patient care coordinator), took care of my information and helped me with my payment plan process. They are very professional and informative on all questions and doubts I had. Miss Maggie who works in front desk always greats you with a positive energy that alleviates your mind and helps you ease your anxiety or nervousness. They perform many different procedures and I trust them 100%. Also, I'm planning to get more things done, so my journey with Renuance is far from over!!! 😄
Chelsea is a very personable and knowledgeable She is very truthful about what is needed and what isn’t She have done my procedure more than once
I had had a bad experience 10 years prior for liposuction and was very hesitant to have it done again. Dr. Ford and the Renuance Staff made me feel 100% at ease from start to finish. Dr. Ford is extremely kind, genuine and really took her time discussing my options. She was upfront and honest with me regarding what to expect with my results after surgery. She also is an excellent surgeon and I couldn't be happier with my results!!!! From the coordinator to the surgical staff to the doctor I had a comfortable experience. I highly recommend her and Renuance. Beautiful, clean and welcoming environment. I was so happy from my first experience with Dr Ford that I had a second surgery on another area!
Chelsea always does an amazing job. She listens, is knowledgeable and explains everything well. I have been coming to her for years. She has an artistic eye for what she does. I always recommend her to anyone that asks me where I did my lips/botox. I've been botched before elsewhere. I've also had a bad consultation with someone else and actually walked out declining services. Chelsea is a true gem to your med-spa<3.
I had my lower eyes done a few years ago and when it came time to do my uppers there was no question on where I was going to have my procedure done at, renuance offers the most professional care and follow ups I have experienced.
From the staff to the whole experience. Everyone made me feel safe, and comfortable. The patient care was just top notch.
Very informative about procedure, aftercare and if one is a candidate to have good outcome from procedure.
Procedure and follow-up were done by Chelsea. Answered all my concerns and questions with professionalism. Happy with outcome of my procedure.
Dr. Debbie goes over each step and explains where she would recommend for Botox. Plus she takes her time during the treatment.

Thigh Lift FAQs

What is the difference between a thigh lift and liposuction?

Thigh lifts remove excess skin and fat through surgical excision, making them ideal for patients with poor skin elasticity. Liposuction removes fat but doesn’t address loose skin. If you have good skin elasticity with excess fat, liposuction alone may be sufficient. When skin elasticity is poor, a thigh lift with or without liposuction provides better results.

How long does it take to see results?

You’ll notice immediate improvement in your thigh contours after surgery, though initial swelling will mask some results. Most swelling subsides within 3-5 weeks. Final results are visible around 3-6 months when all swelling has resolved and tissues have fully healed.

Does thigh lift surgery hurt?

Most patients experience moderate discomfort for the first week, which is well-controlled with prescribed pain medications. Ice application and elevation help reduce swelling and discomfort. Most patients are surprised that recovery is more comfortable than anticipated.

How many procedures will I need?

Most patients achieve their desired results with a single thigh lift procedure. Occasionally, minor touch-ups may be desired after complete healing.

What is recovery like after thigh lift surgery?

You’ll wear compression garments for 4-6 weeks to support healing and optimize results. Most patients return to light activities within 2-3 weeks and full activities including exercise by 6-8 weeks. You may resume driving and walking for exercise after 2-3 weeks when these activities don’t cause pain.

What makes thigh lift results different from non-surgical treatments?

Thigh lift surgery provides permanent removal of excess skin that cannot be achieved through non-surgical methods. While treatments like radiofrequency can provide modest skin tightening, only surgery can address significant skin laxity and create dramatic contour improvements.

What is the best age for thigh lift surgery?

Thigh lift surgery can benefit adults of any age who have excess skin and realistic expectations. The key factors are having stable weight, good overall health, and adequate skin laxity to justify surgical intervention. Most patients are in their 30s-60s.

Can thigh lift be combined with other procedures?

Thigh lifts are typically performed on their own, as every patient’s needs and anatomy are unique. In selected cases, other procedures may be performed at the same time, depending on the individual patient and their surgical plan.

How long do thigh lift results last?

Thigh lift results are considered permanent, as the excess skin that’s removed will not return. However, your body continues to age naturally, and significant weight fluctuations can affect results. Maintaining stable weight and healthy lifestyle habits preserves your results for many years.

Is thigh lift surgery safe?

Yes, when performed by experienced plastic surgeons in accredited facilities, thigh lift surgery has a strong safety record. Our QUAD A-accredited surgery center maintains hospital-level safety standards, and our experienced surgeons take every precaution to minimize risks and ensure optimal outcomes.
