Achieve Smoother Contours With a Thigh Lift in Pasadena

At The Standard of Modern Aesthetics (SOMA), thigh lift procedures in Pasadena are performed with a focus on restoring proportion and improving overall leg contour. Factors such as aging, weight loss, and genetics can lead to loose or sagging skin in the thighs that do not respond to exercise. A thigh lift addresses these concerns by removing excess skin and reshaping the underlying tissue. Each procedure is tailored to your anatomy and goals, helping create a more balanced and refined lower body appearance. Schedule your consultation with SOMA to explore your personalized thigh lift plan in Pasadena.

What Is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and, in some cases, fat from the thighs to improve contour and firmness. It is commonly performed on the inner thighs but can also address outer thigh areas depending on your needs.

At SOMA, thigh lift procedures in Pasadena are customized to create smoother, more proportionate contours that complement the rest of your body.

Benefits of a Thigh Lift

A thigh lift offers both aesthetic and functional improvements.

  • Creates a more proportionate lower body appearance.
  • Provides long-lasting, natural-looking results.

What a Thigh Lift Can Address

A thigh lift is designed to improve concerns related to skin laxity and contour in the thighs.

  • Loose or hanging skin caused by aging or significant weight loss, helping create a smoother and firmer appearance.
  • Excess skin that may cause discomfort or chafing during daily activities.
  • Difficulty achieving thigh definition through exercise alone due to skin laxity.
  • Imbalance between the thighs and the rest of the body, improving overall proportion.
  • Irregular contours that affect the appearance of the legs in fitted clothing.

Types of Thigh Lift Techniques

Different thigh lift techniques may be used depending on the extent of correction needed and your anatomy.

Inner Thigh Lift

This technique focuses on the inner thigh and involves incisions placed in the groin area to remove excess skin and improve contour.

Outer Thigh Lift

An outer thigh lift targets the outer thigh and hip area, often performed as part of a lower body lift for more comprehensive contouring.

Mini Thigh Lift

A mini thigh lift is used for patients with mild skin laxity and involves smaller incisions for more subtle improvement.

Your provider will determine the most appropriate technique based on your goals.
