What Is A Leg Lift(Thigh Lift)?
Thigh Lift(leg lift), also called thighplasty, is a surgery done to reshape the thighs by taking out the fat that isn’t wanted, also removing the saggy skin on the interior part and or exterior part of thighs.

After the procedure, patients must take seven to ten days off work to heal. Bruising and swelling usually is gone in about a month and patients are able to go back to all of their usual businesses or hobbies in about four to six months.
