Thigh Lift in Dallas, TX
What Is a Thigh Lift?
Thigh lift surgery (thighplasty) is a procedure where the contour of the thigh, specifically the inner thigh, is tightened and lifted to achieve a more smooth and youthful appearance.What Can Be Achieved With a Thigh Lift?
Slimmer Thighs
Many patients are left with sagging thigh skin after significant weight loss or as they've aged.
Thigh lift surgery removes excess skin and fat from the thighs to achieve a slimmer, more attractive thigh appearance.
Increased Comfort
Patients who have excess skin on their thighs often report that it is highly uncomfortable when their thighs rub against each other.
A thigh lift removes excess skin from the thighs so patients can enjoy walking and other daily activities without chafing and pain.
Increased Confidence
Sagging skin, especially on the thighs, can be a source of embarrassment for many individuals.
Thighplasty eliminates excess skin and fat to improve the appearance of the thighs. This often dramatically increases patient confidence.
