Do you feel self-conscious about your flabby thighs?  It’s often impossible to shape and tone the thighs with diet and exercise alone, but a thigh lift can reshape your thighs and make them look firmer and more toned.  But how much does a thigh lift cost?

What’s A Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift is a surgical procedure that is done to contour and shape the inner and/or outer thighs.  It improves the look of the thighs by removing excess skin and fat.  A thigh lift can be done alone or as part of a lower-body lift.     

How Much Does A Thigh Lift Cost?

According to the 2019 statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average cost of a thigh lift is $5,171.  However, the cost of a thigh lift varies depending on the extent of the procedure, and the cost of related expenses such as anesthesia fees and surgical facility fees.  

Factors That Impact The Cost Of A Thigh Lift

Surgeon’s Fee

The surgeon’s fee is an important component of the cost of a thigh lift and varies based on their qualifications, experience, and reputation.  Experienced surgeons that specialize in this type of surgery generally charge more. 

Practice Location

The cost of a thigh lift is likely to be higher in practices located in prime urban centers that have higher overheads.

Anesthesia Fees

Thigh lift surgery may be done under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with IV.  Anesthesia may be administered by an anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist, and the fee charged will depend on their skill and experience.  

Additional Costs

The cost of the surgical facility, medical tests, prescription drugs, and post-surgical garments will also impact the final cost of a thigh lift.
