How much does Thigh Lift cost in Burnaby?

Thigh Lift generally runs CAD$8,160–CAD$16,320 per procedure, and each Burnaby clinic sets its own price.

Pricing is quoted in Canadian dollars (CAD). Request a consultation from any of our listed Burnaby clinics for a personalized quote.

How often should I get Thigh Lift?

Maintenance schedules vary. Most Burnaby providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6–12 months once optimal results are achieved.

Can I wear makeup after Thigh Lift?

Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.

Do I need a thigh lift or is liposuction enough?

Liposuction removes fat; it does not remove skin, and on a thigh with loose skin it can make the sag worse. If your thigh skin is loose and hangs, especially after weight loss, a lift is the treatment, sometimes with liposuction added for contour. If the problem is a fat pocket on skin that is still firm, liposuction or fat freezing may be all you need.

Where is the scar?

For a mild lift, the incision sits in the groin crease and is hidden by underwear. For more extensive laxity, it extends down the inner thigh toward the knee, where it is visible in shorts and fades over one to two years. An outer thigh lift is usually part of a lower body lift with its incision around the hip. The surgeon will show you which pattern your thigh needs.

What is the recovery?

Walking is limited for the first days to protect the incision, then gradually increased. A compression garment is worn for several weeks. Desk work at about two weeks, exercise at six to eight, swelling settling over a few months. The inner thigh incision needs careful wound care because the area moves and stays warm.

What does it cost?

Typically $6,000 to $12,000 including surgeon, anesthesia, and facility, higher when combined with liposuction or a body lift. Not covered by insurance for cosmetic reasons.
