Thighplasty, or a thigh lift, is designed to give you slim, toned thighs. Dr. Stein performs thigh lifts at Specialty Aesthetic Surgery for patients frustrated with excess skin and fat in the thigh area. With this procedure, he’ll sculpt and tighten your thighs so you can feel confident in any outfit.
Patients most often seek a thigh lift after weight loss. If you’ve lost significant weight, you likely have loose, excess skin and stubborn fat deposits that still refuse to budge. A thigh lift can remove excess skin and fat, tightening and contouring the upper legs. After weight loss, patients often have multiple procedures, such as an arm lift or tummy tuck, to address sagging skin on the whole body.
Ideal candidates for thighplasty should have reached and maintained their goal weight for at least six months. Future weight fluctuations could undo the results of the procedure. During a detailed consultation, Dr. Stein will help you determine if a thigh lift is right for you.
Thighplasty is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia, typically in two to three hours. There are multiple thigh lift techniques, depending on the patient’s specific needs. Most patients undergo an inner or medial thigh lift, which addresses sagging skin on the inner thighs. Some may require an outer (bilateral) thigh lift to address the outer thighs and hips. The procedure may also include liposuction to remove stubborn fat.
Dr. Stein will make an incision on each leg that starts at the groin and extends down or back as needed. He will then remove excess skin and fat to reduce sagging and tighten the remaining skin for a smooth contour.
Patients can expect discomfort, swelling, and bruising after a thigh lift. We’ll prescribe pain medication if needed and give you detailed aftercare instructions. You may need a follow-up appointment in a week or two to have the sutures or drainage tubes removed.
Most patients take approximately two weeks off work. If you have a physically demanding job, you may need to take longer, and it may be six weeks or more before you can resume strenuous exercise. You may need to wear a compression garment for a few weeks.
You’ll likely see some improvement immediately, with less sagging skin. However, swelling and bruising may initially obscure your thigh lift results. The worst of these side effects should fade within a few weeks. You’ll see the final results of the procedure in approximately six months. Thighplasty patients often enjoy greater freedom of clothing choices and feel more confident wearing shorts, jeans, or swimsuits.
You can enjoy slim, contoured thighs for many years with a healthy lifestyle. A thigh lift typically lasts a decade or more if you maintain a stable weight. Weight fluctuations can affect the results, and the skin may start to sag again over time.
Our expert surgeons would love to meet with you for an in-person consultation. Take the first step to getting your questions answered and to find out if a Thigh Lift is the right solution for you.

Doctor M is incredible! He is well versed in all procedures and takes the time to listen to his patients to achieve the best results. The office is beautiful and the rest of the staff is professional and helpful! Highly recommend this office for any procedures!
It has been my pleasure working with Dr. Mashkevich and Dr.Moskowitz. I have received excellent care from the beginning to the end I couldn’t be happier with my results, the doctors truly care for their patients. The staff members always make me feel welcomed upon my arrival not to mention the beautiful office.

Dr. Moskowitz is the best!! He is detailed ortiented and he explained the procedure every step of the way. He was extremely knowledgeable, meticulous and has a great bedside manner. His staff was always receptive to send information and answer any of my concerns. I could not be more pleased with my surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Moskowitz!!
Sharing my recent experience with Dr. Bruce Moskowitz for anyone who is in search of an Ocular Plastic Surgeon. I am relatively young and this was all new to me, and very scary. I was referred to Dr. Moskowitz by another doctor and I am forever grateful. Not only is his work incredible, meticulous, with amazing results, but he takes the time to explain, make you feel comfortable, and follow up consistently. I still can't believe what he was able to do for me, how he put me back together again. The office is clean and comfortable (with wonderful artwork!) and the office staff is all kind, smart and caring. You never feel like you are just patient with no name. Almost feels like a family-run business (a very high-end business.
Dr.Mashkevich is the best cosmetic surgeon in New York City! I was looking for a surgeon with years of experience in facelift and neck lifts. I did shop around went to three other surgeons in New York and I didn’t feel confident enough after my consultations. Until I met Dr.Mashkevich! He is extremely patient and if I could I would give him a ten-star review! Dr. Mashkevich and his team made me comfortable and confident with my decision from the beginning to the end of my journey. This decision was one of the best decisions of my life.
Don’t have enough positive words to describe my experience with Dr. Mashkevich and his team! The entire staff is absolutely amazing! Dr. Mashkevich was so calm, patient, and knowledgeable! I felt so comfortable moving forward with my decision. It took me a very long time to make this decision and proceed with my facial surgery. I am beyond thrilled and my results are even better than I ever could’ve imagined! I would highly, highly recommend Dr.Mashkevich to anyone considering facial plastic surgery!!!
My rhinoplasty experience with Dr. Mashkevich has been excellent! He is a superb surgeon who takes wonderful care of his patients. From my initial consultation all the way through surgery and postoperative follow-ups, I have felt comfortable and safe in his hands. Dr. Mashkevich understood exactly what I was looking for and delivered amazing results. His staff is also very pleasant and professional. I am so happy with my results and would greatly recommend Dr. Mashkevich.
Dr. Mashkevich has exceeded my expectations. He’s knowledgeable, professional, and extremely attentive pre and post-operation. I went to several consultations with other surgeons but felt most comfortable with Dr. Mashkevich’s expertise and confidence. I was extremely nervous about the outcome and the recovery - both of which I’m very pleased with. If you’re looking for a natural look then this is the doctor for you. Highly recommend him!!
I recently underwent face, neck, and lip lift, as well as a partial rhinoplasty revision, performed by Dr. Mashkevich. I don't know where to begin. Dr. Mashkevich is not only a surgeon but an artist, with the most incredible surgical eye and hands. I had several consultations with plastic surgeons in Manhattan, and from the moment I met Dr. Mashkevich, there was no question that he would be the one to perform my surgery. From the consultation to post-op appointments, he has been the kindest, most caring, and sincere doctor that I could have hoped for. I could not be happier with my decision. I would recommend Dr. Mashkevich to anyone who is looking for not only incredible results but a smooth and comfortable overall surgical experience. Truly the best!!!
Saying Dr.Bruce Moskowitz is an expert and master in his field is an understatement. He truly knows his stuff! I am so thankful and grateful I chose Dr.Moskowitz to do my eyelid surgery. For years I went to so many Oculoplastic Surgeons and was so happy to come across Dr.Moskowitz. He is brilliant, knowledgeable, honest, and most importantly all about perfection. I’m so thankful every day, he literally changed my life!
Dr. Moskowitz is by far, one of the best Dr's I have ever met. He is kind, patient, and has a great sense of humor. He explains everything that he is going to and always made sure I felt comfortable. He is also a perfectionist, which made me feel even more confident in his abilities as a plastic surgeon
There is no one else I would let touch my face besides Dr. Moskowitz. He does such an incredible job and walks you through every part of the procedure and the results are always perfect. I cannot recommend him enough!
In February 2021, I decided to undergo eyes surgery (brow lift and lower blepharoplasty surgery). My friend, who is also a happy patient of Dr. Bruce Moskowitz, recommended him to me and today I know that it was the best choice I could have made. A real expert in his field. Both during the consultation and during the surgery, I felt great under the care of Dr. Moskowitz and his fantastic team. I would also like to thank all the ladies at the reception who are very nice and helpful. I wholeheartedly recommend dr. Bruce Moskowitz and his great team.
I am very grateful to the Doctor Stein, you cannot imagine how much, he is a Doctor who makes you feel safe, he is very affectionate with his patients and above all human. I am a patient who has gone through many surgeries for medical problems and my abdomen was all scarred and totally deformed. He gave me a tummy tuck and I couldn't believe it. Excellent results. I am very happy and everything went very well. you are like a hero to me. I love you so much Doctor. God, keep using you as an instrument.
I had a very very complicated issue, one that I thought would leave permanent damage. However Dr. Stein performed a very successful surgery & was very active in the recovery process, even with such a busy schedule. He prioritized my needs and repaired my injury better than I ever seen before. He took his time and made sure I left in great hands. I highly recommend Dr. Stein!! Very honest, very professional & very good! I encourage everyone in need to request his services.
I had breast augmentation lift with Dr Stein in 2020, he is amazing! I had 3 consultations over the years prior to meeting him and could never feel ready with any doctor but after sitting with him I was ready immediately. He made me very comfortable and his work came out beautiful. I have very light marks which should be expected because I am dark skinned & I didn't take the scar therapy that was offered, but I recommend it. I gained some weight now so I will visit him again. He is the most careful and a perfectionist!
I have to Say that Doctor Stein is an amazing Doctor and an amazing human being, i just had my procedure with him to have my breast reduction and i am so happy with my results and i have to say he is as excited as I am. Thank you so much Doc i will forever be grateful with you. Ladies if you are looking to have breast reduction surgery have a consultation with him i promise you, you will not regret it.
Dr Stein gave me a "mommy make-over" and I am delighted. He is highly intelligent and a true aesthete. When I went to meet him, I knew I was in excellent hands. He listened carefully and answered all my questions thoroughly. Whenever I reached out to him, he always made time to respond in a timely manner. He has a special way of putting you at ease and is a consummate professional. Now I am five months out from surgery and I feel and look fantastic. I cannot recommend this superstar, talented plastic surgeon highly enough.
I had removal of implants and breast lift by Dr Michael Stein. I am happy and grateful, Dr Michael has done an incredible job on my breasts, for 10 years I lived dissatisfied with my breasts, after two surgeries and bad results in other places, and Dr Stein has managed to do what I wanted and wanted for years, He did an incredible job, he is very dedicated and perfected from the smallest details to the most difficult things that I thought were impossible to change, and Dr Stein has managed to change and improve from my physique to the way I feel, I feel safe, happy and with confidence, I could not have found a better Dr like Dr Michael Stein, I am extremely grateful and happy, I recommend him with my eyes closed, from the first consultation you feel confident that you are in the best hands and that we will only obtain the better results, THANK YOU DR STEIN

I had an arm lift (brachioplasty) with Dr Michael Stein. I love the way he treated me. He really cares about his patients. He treated me so well. I love my result I look sooooo good. Such a good result!
Dr. Stein is everything you'd want your surgeon to be - thorough, knowledgeable, caring and absolutely meticulous about making sure every detail is just right. I felt very comfortable, and he took great care of me.
I have too many good things to say about Dr. Stein. First, if you are reading this and are on the fence about lipo or breast augmentation, save yourself the unnecessary anxiety and book a consultation with Dr. Stein. I had both procedures with him (breast aug, lipo). He is caring, compassionate, and dedicated to what he does. His staff is just as caring and helpful. I did a ton of research before choosing a surgeon, and I could not have chosen anyone better. He is a real professional. I highly recommend him and will certainly use him again for all my future aesthetic needs.
Dr Stein is my surgeon who restored my stomach and make it brand new. After weight lost program i had lots of loose hanging skin on my stomach and was recommend to Dr Stein who is very friendly and did a consultation with me describing what has to be done and expected results. I give Dr & his team 5 stars because of the level of care I have received from the start until now. If I meet anyone who needs a Dr that will make a difference in their body & self esteem his name will always be Dr Michael J. Stein.
Dr Michael Stein has truly changed my life. I had breast reduction and liposuction by him earlier this year and I am so satisfied with the results. My confidence and self esteem are through the roof. Not only is he an amazing surgeon but his bedside manner and professionalism are second to none. One can tell he truly loves what he does and is quite passionate about it and that is why I chose him. I have no regrets
I had a tummy tuck with Dr Stein. I am sooooo happy. Only one week has past and everything is so different. Dr Stein changed my life. I feel so much better about myself. No pain and my result is amazing. Thank you Dr Stein for changing my life.
