Thigh Lift in Fredericksburg, VA
What is a thigh lift?
Losing weight is an impressive accomplishment for any individual. In some cases, women and men who achieve their weight loss goals may require one more thing to complete their body transformation. Depending on how long you were overweight and how much weight you lost, extra skin can be a separate problem if the skin cannot shrink to your body's new shape and size. The thighs are particularly areas of concern for most people. Plastic surgeons Dr. Howard Heppe, Dr. Harold Bautista, and Dr. Pejman Aflaki offer thigh lift surgery (also called thighplasty) at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg, which trims away loose skin on the inner and outer thighs to create a firmer, more contoured appearance. Thighplasty surgery has risen in popularity since it can give natural-looking results for patients battling sagging skin on the thighs.
How is a Thigh Lift Performed?
During thigh lift surgery, anesthesia is usually used. A surgical incision is made close to the top portion of the thigh in the natural crease where the thigh attaches to the torso. This incision typically continues down to the midpoint of the thigh area. This permits enough room to perform liposuction (if wanted) to eliminate isolated pockets of fat and to trim the excess skin in the upper thigh. The remaining skin will be stretched upward so it is tight and safely secured with sutures. In some instances, an additional incision may be made in the outer thigh area or underneath the buttocks, based on the quantity of skin and tissue removed. Thigh lift surgery at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg corrects the entire thigh area for a tighter, shapelier, more contoured appearance.

Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg Reviews
On August 21st I under went surgery, tummy tuck and lipo 360… I did a lot of research and decided to go with Dr. Aflaki, I followed him on social media and looked out for reviews from other patients of his, for about 6 months before deciding to go forward. I was always amazed at his work and I am very happy I chose him…Dr. Aflaki was very professional, he went over so much with me that I never felt in the dark. I went into surgery very confidently having him as my Dr. He is also pleasant to be around, check ups always went very smooth, always felt comfortable and take care of. His staff was also wonderful to me and made sure my caretaker knew everything he needed to know to care for me after surgery. I am overall very happy with the outcome! My results are amazing! My pre-surgery video was taken Aug 21st, the morning of surgery. My post-surgery photo was taken 2 months and 2 weeks. I feel great, physically and mentally!! Thank you so much Dr. Aflaki and his team at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg!
When researching doctors for my rhinoplasty. I visited with a couple of different plastic surgeons that specialize in rhinoplasties but Dr. Aflaki was the obvious choice from the first consult. He took his time explaining everything and removing all doubts about the procedure which made me feel incredibly relieved and more confident to move forward. I ended up having a rhinoplasty and the procedure itself was so much easier than I could have imagined. Recovery was a breeze and painless. which was surprising. I closely followed instructions from Dr.Aflaki everything went really smoothly. I was already feeling like myself after a few days. I’m just over 2 months post-op and am incredibly happy with the results. Dr. Aflaki is an amazing Dr. The changes to my appearance are exactly what I wanted and what we discussed during the consult. I been checking with him for two moths I can I sure you you are in good hands If choose you Dr. Aflaki!
Dr. Bautista is the Only One I Trust. - Dr. Bautista did my breast augmentation surgery in 2005, and I was extremely pleased with the results. I decided to go back to him in 2024 to have my breasts redone, since they were almost 20 years old. I had no issues with them, but I wanted to go a little bigger and Dr. Bautista is the only one I trust to do the surgery. In fact, I even followed up my breast surgery with cool sculpting and am very pleased with the those results as well. He and his staff are extremely professional and very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend him for any cosmetic needs you may have.
Procedure changed my life - Dr Heppe transferred body fat into my aging hands. He made sure I wasn’t in any pain, did it expediently and recovery was easy. I’m one hundred percent satisfied. I no longer feel the need to hide my “ugly old hand”. I am now feeling confident and free. Great job Dr. Heppe! Thank you.
My experience with Dr. Aflaki and everyone at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg has been nothing short of amazing! From consultation to post-operative follow-ups, I have been in the very best hands. I am extremely pleased with my healing, recovery and results! Thank you, Dr. Aflaki, for changing my life!

Thigh Lift FAQ
How much does thigh lift surgery cost?
Your cost for a thigh lift will include various fees, such as those for the surgical facility, tests, anesthesia, and more. Once we've created your personalized thigh lift treatment plan during your consultation, we can estimate your costs. Our team is here to assist you in finding low-interest medical financing options to make your thigh lift more affordable, allowing you to focus on achieving the results you desire from a skilled plastic surgeon.
Will a thigh lift remove cellulite or stretch marks?
A thigh lift is an excellent option for achieving well-contoured and slimmer legs. By tightening the skin and removing excess fat pockets, it can also improve the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks on your thighs. If you're concerned about stretch marks or cellulite, let our team know during your consultation, and we can adjust your treatment plan to ensure it aligns with all of your goals.
How long will my results last?
After your surgery, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet can help ensure your thigh lift results last for a long time. We recommend that you be at or near a stable weight before undergoing thigh lift surgery, as this makes it easier to preserve your results. Significant weight changes or pregnancy after the procedure may affect your outcome. During your consultation, our team will discuss strategies to help you maintain your thigh lift results over time.
Can I combine a thigh lift with other surgeries?
Many patients choose to combine a thigh lift with a butt lift or tummy tuck to create a customized lower body lift. Thigh lifts are also commonly included in mommy makeovers or after weight loss surgery. During your initial consultation, share your goals and desires with our team so we can create a treatment plan tailored to achieving the results you want.
What about a nonsurgical thigh lift?
While nonsurgical fat reduction and skin tightening procedures can offer mild improvements, a surgical thigh lift is the most effective option for addressing significant sagging skin and excess fat on your thighs. If you're considering nonsurgical treatments, ask our team for more information during your consultation. We will explain the pros and cons of both thigh lift surgery and nonsurgical options and provide our recommendations based on your specific needs.
