Your exact price will depend on the technique Dr. Castillo uses, whether liposuction is added, and the complexity of the case. Your quote will be provided during your consultation.
Our prices are very low when compared to prices in the U.S. and Canada because medical care is more affordable in Mexico. We go a step further in making your care affordable by accepting financing and arranging payment plans if needed.
What Is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a body contouring procedure that removes loose, sagging skin from the upper legs. It addresses excess skin rather than fat, but our plastic surgeon in Tijuana, Mexico, may pair it with liposuction when stubborn fat deposits are also a concern.
Skin in the thigh area loses its elasticity after major weight loss and with natural aging. Once that laxity sets in, no amount of diet or exercise can tighten it. A thigh lift restores a smoother, firmer contour to the upper legs and inner thigh.
Are You a Good Thigh
Lift Candidate?
You may be a strong candidate for thigh lift surgery in Tijuana if you:
- Have loose or sagging skin on your upper or inner thighs
- Have a stable weight you can maintain after surgery
- Are in good overall health and do not smoke
- Have realistic expectations
If your weight loss came from bariatric surgery, Dr. Castillo asks that at least a year has passed since your procedure. Your weight should also hold steady for three to six months, with a body mass index under 30.
Safety comes first at our practice. Certain chronic medical conditions can make elective surgery inadvisable, so Dr. Castillo will review your health history before recommending any procedure.
Thigh Lift Techniques
Medial Thigh Lift
The medial thigh lift, sometimes called a standard thigh lift, focuses on the inner thigh. Dr. Castillo places the incision in the natural crease at the hip where the inner thigh meets the torso.
Extended Thigh Lift
The extended thigh lift adds a vertical incision along the inner thigh, allowing Dr. Castillo to remove a larger amount of excess skin. This approach is often used for patients whose weight loss left significant laxity along the length of the inner thigh.
The Thigh Lift Procedure
Your surgery takes place in a hospital setting and takes about two to three hours. It involves several steps:
“Doctor Castillo is very attentive, professional and reliable, I really liked how he took the time to answer all my questions and doubts. He accompanied me through the process of the surgery, as well as the recovery. I loved the results of my surgery! I am very satisfied with his work.” — Maria, 5-Star Review
Your Post-Bariatric Body Contouring Plan
Patients who have lost a large amount of weight rarely carry loose skin in just one area. That is why a thigh lift with our team in Tijuana is commonly paired with procedures such as:
- Arm lift
- Back lift
- Breast lift
- Tummy tuck
- Full body lift
- More
Together, these procedures form a complete post-bariatric body contouring plan. Combining them qualifies you for package pricing, so the total cost of each procedure comes down.
FAQ About Thigh Lift in Tijuana, MX
How long do I need to stay in Tijuana after a thigh lift?
Most patients stay at least a couple of days so our team can monitor the earliest phase of healing. Once you’re cleared to return home, our staff will arrange your transportation within Mexico. That includes your ride to the Tijuana airport or the San Diego, CA, border crossing.
Will a thigh lift leave visible scars?
Every thighplasty leaves some scarring, but your incisions will be placed in the hip crease for a medial lift, or in the hip crease and along the inner thigh for an extended lift. Scars fade considerably over the first year.
Can I have this surgery if I have a chronic health condition?
It depends on the condition. Some chronic conditions make elective surgery unwise. Share your full health history during your consultation with Dr. Castillo, so he can provide an honest answer about whether surgery is an option for you.
