Thigh Lift Overview
The art of a refined silhouette
The thighs can be among the hardest areas to reshape through diet and exercise alone, particularly after significant weight loss or with the natural effects of aging.
Excess fat or loose skin on the upper, inner thighs can get in the way of feeling confident about your body, particularly in South Florida, where shorts and skirts are daily wear for most of the year.
The objective of thigh lift surgery (thighplasty) is three-fold: remove excess fat, tighten the skin and improve the shape of the upper thigh. With tighter and more toned thighs, you may experience a substantial increase in self-confidence. Clothing options open up, and the contour looks more youthful.
Dr. Humberto Palladino offers thigh lift surgery for his patients in South Florida, including Fort Lauderdale, Miami, North Palm Beach, Boca Raton, and the surrounding areas. He would be glad to speak with you about the procedure during a personal consultation.
All surgery carries risks and every patient’s situation is unique. Candidacy, realistic expectations, and your personalised plan are determined during your one-on-one consultation with Dr. Palladino.
Is a thigh lift right for you?
Candidacy & goals
If you are unhappy with excessive fat and skin on your upper thighs, you may be a good candidate for thigh lift.
Common concerns thigh lift may address
- Excess skin and fat on the upper, inner thighs

During your thigh lift consultation, Dr. Palladino will explain the procedure and what it can accomplish for your goals.

What to expect on surgery day
Arrive with your companion
Thigh lift is an outpatient procedure, so you can leave the surgery center afterward and recover in the comfort of your own home. Have a trusted friend or family member drive you to the surgical center and remain there during surgery.
Pre-operative markings
Before going into surgery, Dr. Palladino will make precise markings on your legs to guide him during the procedure and ensure the most accurate, symmetrical outcome.

You will receive anesthesia to help you sleep comfortably throughout the procedure. Dr. Palladino removes excess fat and skin to tighten and recontour the upper thighs.
Recovery suite & discharge
