What Is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift, also known as thighplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at removing excess skin and fat from the upper legs. Over time, factors like significant weight changes, aging, or genetics can lead to sagging and dimpled skin that resists diet and exercise. By excising this surplus tissue and tightening the underlying structures, a thigh lift in Columbus creates a firmer, more contoured appearance that enhances overall body balance. At pēkomd®, our board-certified surgeons develop customized plans that consider your unique anatomy and desired outcome, ensuring the results look natural and feel harmonious with your body.

What to Expect During Your Thigh Lift Procedure at pēkomd®

Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation at our Columbus office, where our board-certified providers review your medical history and assess your upper leg anatomy. We'll discuss your goals and recommend a tailored approach—whether you require minimal incisions around the groin or a more extensive procedure with integrated liposuction for targeted fat removal. On the day of surgery, you'll arrive at our accredited facility, where safety and comfort are our priorities. Under general anesthesia, discreet incisions are made, and excess tissue is carefully removed. The remaining skin is then re-draped and sutured to produce a tighter, smoother thigh contour. After the procedure, you will be monitored in our recovery area and provided with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing.

Recovering After Your Thigh Lift Surgery

Recovery timelines vary, but most patients in Columbus experience moderate swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for the first one to two weeks. Pain is generally manageable with medication, and a compression garment may be recommended to support the healing tissues. Light activities can typically be resumed within one to two weeks, though strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least four to six weeks. Follow-up appointments allow us to monitor your progress, gradually revealing the refined contours of your thighs as the swelling diminishes.

Are You an Ideal Candidate for a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift in Columbus is well-suited for individuals who are in good overall health, maintain a relatively stable weight, and struggle with excess, sagging skin on the upper legs. It's important to have realistic expectations—this procedure improves contours but isn't a substitute for weight loss. During your consultation, our board-certified providers will evaluate your skin quality, health history, and aesthetic goals to ensure that the procedure aligns with your needs. If you're troubled by persistent loose skin that isn't addressed by exercise alone, you may be an excellent candidate for a customized thigh lift.

Dr. Markov is one of the best microsurgeons in Southwest Ohio

I have had surgery is some of the top hospitals in Ohio and beyond. Dr. Markov is one of the best microsurgeons in Southwest Ohio, and the surrounding areas.His education, military background, and work experience speaks for itself. I have found him to be professional, highly-skilled, and he has excellent bedside manner. Dr. Markov treated me with respect, educated me about my options, and empowered me to decide what breast reconstruction option best for me. He approached my reconstruction surgery like Michelangelo to a painting. He was detailed oriented and cared about my final outcomes. I couldn't be happier with his performance. I highly recommend Dr. Markov for any cancer related or cosmetics surgery.

Mr. Dr. Fourman has been the best doctor hands down

Mr. Dr. Fourman has been the best doctor hands down so far that I have ever experienced in my life so far and I only have had my first office visit. He is so polite, listens and exsplained in full detail. He made me feel heard and he actually listened to me as his patient and did not belittle or make me feel like i was uneducated or wrong for my reasons to be vivisting his office. Thank you to Dr. Fourman and his wonderful staff members!

Dr. Straka is very personable, professional, and earned my trust right away!

My daughter first had some work done a few years ago with Dr. Straka. Of course she was/is a beautiful girl in every way, but this definitely enhanced things for her. I inherited the worst bags you could ever imagine. Getting older I thought let me do something for me! I scheduled a consult and I am truly sad that I had not gone sooner.

Dr. Straka is very personable, professional, and earned my trust right away! I am only 10 days post op and I love my new look already! Cristina has been very attentive from day one. I am still being checked on today. Dr. Straka is doing great things at pekomd! I highly recommend him to anyone!!!!!!! He gets a 100 stars

Thank You for saving my life!!

Dr. Fourman and his whole team have always made me feel not judged and welcomed. They are helpful, knowledgeable, informative and take time to discuss my health. There are few physicians that don’t make patients feel comfortable and Dr. Fourman is not one. So thankful I chose him as my bariatric doctor!! Thank You for saving my life!!

Make you feel like your best self.

Every experience I’ve had at pēkomd® has been amazing. The staff and providers truly take the time to make you feel like your best self. Dr. Koltz takes the time to get to know his patients and listens to their needs, concerns and dreams. I would absolutely recommend giving them a call and taking the steps to feeling the best version of yourself!

I would say Dr. Markov is a bit of a perfectionist.

After learning I had breast cancer a second time in 2023 I opted to have a bilateral mastectomy with a DIEP flap reconstruction. I looked into 3 different doctors and while I am sure they are all very capable, I chose Dr. Markov. He was straight forward and to the point and he was local. I really liked his approach and he made me feel very comfortable. Today I had my 4 week post op appointment from the final phase of the reconstruction and I am thrilled with the results. I feel and look like myself again. Honestly they look better than they did before my mastectomy. I would say Dr. Markov is a bit of a perfectionist. The only thing left, if I opt to do this, is the tattooing. I am not sure if I am going to do that just yet, because they already look so good. Anyhow, I would 100 % recommend Dr. Markov.

Wish I had done this 10 years sooner.

Don't put it off any longer!
If you have thought about weight-loss surgery, Dr. Fourman is the Dr. you need to see! He's very personable, understands and is caring.I followed all the pre op instructions, did out patient, in the morning, and was up and moving around very well by that evening. He's staff is wonderful too. There are no scary front desk reception. Everyone there knows what your going through. Wish I had done this 10 years sooner. Like I said...Don't put it off for another year!

I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with Dr. Straka

I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with Dr. Straka and Kaleigh! Dr. Straka took the time to thoroughly explain my condition, answer all my questions, and walk me through the entire procedure. The follow-up care has been excellent as well, and I am so happy with my results. I highly recommend!!
