Thigh Lift in Brazil: Approach, Scars and Recovery

A thigh lift removes excess, lax skin from the inner or outer thighs, most often after significant weight loss or as part of body contouring after pregnancy. At Belvivere Plastic Surgery, in Criciúma, Santa Catarina, Dr. June Favarin and Dr. Eduardo Favarin bring 20 years of experience and have cared for more than 8,000 patients from Brazil and other countries, with surgeries performed in a hospital setting.

Choosing the Right Approach

The extent and location of skin excess determine whether an inner thigh lift, an outer/lateral thigh lift, or a combination with liposuction is more appropriate — and how long the resulting scar will be. This is assessed during a physical evaluation, not from photos.

The Procedure and Its Risks

The surgery is performed under anesthesia in an accredited hospital. Risks include bleeding, infection, changes in sensation, wound healing issues (which can be more common in this area), and unfavorable scarring — all discussed individually before surgery, along with realistic expectations about scar visibility.

Recovery

Recovery involves compression garments, restricted activity and walking pattern adjustments in the first weeks, and careful wound care. Our team provides a realistic recovery timeline during the consultation and follows up in person during your stay in Criciúma.
