Body and Thigh Lift
As we get older, some areas of the body become increasingly difficult to trim and tone. Body and thigh lifts can help sculpt the areas that don’t respond to diet and exercise. Dr. Anh Vu specializes in body lifts, thigh lifts, and other cosmetic procedures, and offers these treatments to men and women living in St. Augustine, Jacksonville, Palm Coast, and Daytona Beach.
What Are Upper and Lower Body Lifts?
A body lift is a cosmetic procedure that removes loose skin that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise. This technique is ideal for patients seeking a more sculpted appearance. Two body lift options are available: an upper body lift and a lower body lift. An upper body lift addresses the arms, chest, back, and waist. A lower body lift addresses the abdomen, hips, buttocks, and outer thighs. This procedure removes excess skin in these areas, resulting in a more toned physique.

What Are Inner and Outer Thigh Lifts?
A thigh lift is a cosmetic procedure that removes loose skin and excess fat on the legs to create smoother contours. When considering a thigh lift, you can choose between an inner or outer thigh lift. An inner thigh lift targets the area of the thigh near the groin. An outer thigh lift targets the front and outside of the leg. Either procedure can be performed as part of a body lift for more comprehensive results or on its own.
How Can I Get a Thigh Gap?
The thigh gap is an aesthetic feature that leaves a small gap between the legs when they are together. This trait can be difficult to achieve through diet and exercise, leading many people to consider a thigh lift as a solution. Most patients can achieve a thigh gap through an inner thigh lift, which can be done as part of a body lift or on its own.
How Are Body and Thigh Lifts Performed?
At Anh Vu, M.D., every body and thigh lift begins with an in-depth consultation with Dr. Anh Vu. During this consultation, Dr. Vu carefully plans out the surgery based upon the patient’s aesthetic goals. Body sculpting procedures can create long-term, life-changing results, so he spends substantial time discussing the procedure with the patient to ensure they achieve the results they want. Dr. Vu is incredibly meticulous during surgery, which can involve multiple incisions in different locations depending on the treatment and the patient’s aesthetic goals. After the incisions, the surgeon removes excess skin and fat, leaving the patient with a more contoured figure. All body and thigh lifts are performed under anesthesia so that patients remain comfortable throughout treatment.
What Can I Expect After My Body or Thigh Lift?
Body and thigh lifts are complex procedures that require significant recovery time. Patients should expect to take at least two weeks off of work and other normal activities, although some patients may need up to a month. After about six weeks, patients can resume exercise and similar activities. Patients commonly experience swelling and mild discomfort during this time. Following your procedure, Dr. Vu will review instructions for specific post-surgery care and discuss the timing of any follow-up appointments.
How Long Do the Results from a Body or Thigh Lift Last?
When performed by an experienced, qualified surgeon like Dr. Anh Vu, the results of a body or thigh lift can last for years and look completely natural. However, these procedures do not prevent further changes from aging, weight loss, or weight gain.
