DO YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW TO GET A THIGH GAP?

Thigh gaps have become a popular topic in the media. The concept behind a thigh gap is that a woman should have an open space between her thighs when she stands with her legs together. According to those who advocate for a thigh gap, the space indicates that the woman’s thighs are toned.

Not having a thigh gap can certainly indicate that you have extra fat on your thighs, but we caution our patients about using the thigh gap as the only measurement of fit thighs. Several factors affect how much of a space you have between your legs, such as hip size and muscular structure. If you do have excess fat on your thighs, we may recommend a thigh lift.

WHAT IS A THIGH LIFT?

Our thigh lift procedure removes excess fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. We may also find that you have loose skin that sags on your thighs. The goal of a thigh lift is not specifically to give you a thigh gap, but to eliminate skin and fat that overshadow your natural contours.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INNER AND OUTER THIGH LIFTS?

People carry weight differently. You may have fat only on the outside or inside of your thighs. Our plastic surgeons use modified techniques to only address the areas where you carry extra fat on your thighs.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A THIGH LIFT?

• Gives the thighs a toned appearance
• May increase the thigh gap on some patients (depending on individual anatomy)
• Eliminates fat and skin that cannot be remedied with diet and exercise

HOW MUCH DOES A THIGH LIFT COST IN NYC?

The cost of a thigh lift varies. Factors that affect the cost of your thigh lift include the recommended technique, complexity of the procedure, and other factors that are determined during the consultation. To help you have a budget in mind when you meet with Dr. Shah, we invite you to learn about our financing options.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM A THIGH LIFT?

The inner thigh lift technique uses a shorter incision compared to the outer thigh lift. The incision is made in the natural crease where the thigh bone (femur) meets the hip bone (pelvis). For the inner thigh lift, the incision starts near the groin area and follows the crease approximately two-thirds of the way up to the hip bone. For the outer thigh lift, the incision starts near the groin area and may extend to the hip bone and around to the backside of the hips. Some cases may require the incision to include the circumference of the upper thigh.

Once the incision is made, Dr. Shah may use liposuction to remove small pockets of fat. The skin is pulled taut over the area and any excess is trimmed before the incisions are closed with sutures.

Recovery from a thigh lift varies, so we can discuss these details during your consultation appointment.
