The upper leg area can be problematic as you get older. The skin may start to sag, and you can develop pockets of fat that give your thighs a lumpy appearance. Castellon Plastic Surgery Center, led by board-certified plastic surgeon Mauricio J. Castellon, MD, offers thigh lifts and other types of body contouring for men and women who live in Melbourne, Brevard County and the surrounding communities of Central Florida.

Although not every woman’s natural anatomy allows for a thigh gap, a thigh lift can improve the space on some women. The gap is considered a part of having attractive and shapely legs.
You should focus on exercising and eating properly as part of your day-to-day life, as these factors will be key to extending the results of the surgery. You will learn more about thigh lift surgery at your consultation with Dr. Castellon, a board-certified plastic surgeon who is known for his amazing bedside manner.
