Thigh Lift in Baton Rouge, LA
The thighs are one of the most problematic areas for most women. . Most women would agree that sometimes fitness and weight loss efforts aren’t enough to get those slimmer and sculpted legs they see on social media and magazines. Women’s bodies tend to accumulate fat in the hips and thighs. Most patients find it difficult to exercise or diet this fat tissue away. For this reason, more and more women are turning to plastic surgery to get firmer and more youthful-looking legs.
Through a thigh lift, Dr. Daugherty can remodel and reshape your legs, helping you obtain thighs that look more attractive, toned, and slender. This surgical procedure has helped countless women improve their body figures and recover their self-esteem—an ideal combination to stand out in bikini season!
What is Thigh Lift Surgery?
A thigh lift, technically known as thighplasty, is a plastic surgery procedure that aims to remove excess skin and fat tissue from the inner and/or outer thighs. Liposuction is effective when the amount of tissue removed is not too significant and has a limited effect on the excess skin. Thigh lifts are more for patients who already have excess skin after massive weight loss. Another great candidate for thigh lift is a patient who has aging skin and excess fat. Once the fat is removed with liposuction, the skin may not tighten as much as we would like, so thigh lift surgically removes and tightens the excess skin.
Types of Thigh Lift
According to the area of the thighs treated, Dr. Daugherty uses different surgical techniques:
- Medial (Inner) Thigh Lift—The inner thigh lift is the most popular type of thigh lift. It targets sagging skin in the medial side of the legs, so the incision is usually made from the groin down toward your knees.
- Mini Thigh Lift—A mini thigh lift is similar to an inner thigh lift, but it only addresses the upper part of the inner thighs. This procedure requires a smaller incision, as it only involves the groin area.
What to Expect from a Thigh Lift Procedure
A thigh lift is an outpatient surgical procedure. Once you have met with Dr. Daugherty and decided on surgery, you will visit our facilities in Baton Rouge and go home the same day. Most thigh lifts are completed in about two to three hours, but some complex cases may take longer. General anesthesia is used for this procedure.
Once the surgery is complete, you will leave the OR with drainage tubes placed in the surgical area and a compression garment. You will need to stay a few hours in our recovery area to be monitored by our team. When our team discharges you, you will be ready to go home. We recommend having a friend or family member by your side to take you home and stay with you, ideally overnight.

How to Sit after Thigh Lift
No matter the type of thigh lift you undergo, you must stay home for a few weeks after surgery. It is essential to take it easy during recovery as your body needs time to heal. But besides resting, it is critical to follow the post-op instructions Dr. Daugherty and her team will give you after surgery. As in any other surgical recovery, you need to take some time off work and forget about strenuous physical activity for some weeks.
