A thigh and butt lift is a body-contouring procedure designed to refine the shape of the lower body by reducing excess skin and improving overall firmness. At The Andochick Center for Cosmetic Surgery in Frederick, MD, Dr. Scott Andochick brings more than three decades of surgical experience to help patients achieve smoother, more balanced contours. His approach focuses on natural-looking refinement tailored to each person’s unique anatomy.
What a Thigh and Butt Lift May Improve
The thighs and buttocks can develop loose or uneven skin due to weight changes, aging, or decreased elasticity. Even with healthy habits, this area may not respond the way patients hope. A thigh and butt lift may help:
- Reduce excess skin on the inner or outer thighs
- Improve firmness and shape of the buttocks
- Refine the transition between the hips, thighs, and buttocks
- Enhance overall body proportions
The goal is to achieve smoother, more consistent contouring that supports confidence in clothing and movement.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Thigh and Butt Lift?
A thigh and butt lift may be an option for individuals who:
- Have loose or sagging skin on the thighs or buttocks
- Experience changes after significant weight loss
- Find that exercise does not address skin laxity
- Want a more balanced, refined lower-body shape
During a consultation, Dr. Andochick assesses skin quality, soft-tissue structure, and overall goals to determine whether a thigh lift, buttock lift, or combination lift is the most appropriate approach. In some cases, liposuction may be recommended to further enhance contouring.
How a Thigh and Butt Lift Works
A thigh and butt lift focuses on removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue for a smoother, more defined lower body. Incisions are placed strategically, often along natural creases, to keep them as discreet as possible.
Depending on the patient’s needs, the procedure may involve:
- Removing extra skin from the thighs
- Lifting and tightening the buttock area
- Combining liposuction to refine contours
- Repositioning soft tissue for a natural, elevated appearance
The procedure is performed in the practice’s QUAD A–accredited private operating room. This on-site facility allows for a controlled, private, and safe environment where Dr. Andochick and his board-certified anesthesia team manage the entire surgical experience with consistency and attention to detail.
Thigh and Butt Lift Recovery and Results
Recovery time varies based on the extent of the procedure. Most patients experience swelling, tightness, or temporary numbness as the tissues settle.
General recovery expectations may include:
- Wearing compression garments to support the lower body
- Limiting strenuous movement during the early healing phase
- Taking time away from work or daily activities based on Dr. Andochick’s guidance
- Taking time away from work or daily activities based on Dr. Andochick’s guidance
As healing progresses, the thighs and buttocks typically appear smoother, firmer, and better aligned with the upper body’s proportions. Results continue to refine over several months as swelling decreases.
