Thigh-Lift

UT Southwestern Medical Center’s plastic surgeons perform thigh-lifts using their extensive experience with surgical innovations, including combining various types of body-contouring procedures and using the smallest incisions possible to remove excess fat and skin.

With our research on how the body produces fat and heals, our surgeons offer long-term results that are safe and effective for both inner and outer thigh-lifts.

Reshaping Inner and Outer Thighs

Sometimes diet and exercise are simply not enough to eliminate saddlebags, sagging skin, and other concerns patients have about their thighs. Thigh-lifts are an effective option to reshape the inner and outer thighs. 

Our team is internationally recognized for delivering outstanding clinical care and conducting groundbreaking research. 

Thigh-Lift: What to Expect

During an initial consult, we talk with patients about their overall health and expectations. Our surgeons individualize this procedure to create a natural shape of the thighs and might suggest performing procedures such as liposuction or a body-lift along with a thigh-lift to achieve a very natural look. 

After surgery, patients can expect to see immediate results such as improved skin quality and appearance, along with thighs that are in proportion with the body. 

Patients should be within a healthy body weight range for their height. 

Maximizing the Long-Term Benefits

The results last for a lifetime, but the shape of a person’s thighs will change over time. It’s important to maintain a healthy weight. We offer resources to help patients make any necessary lifestyle changes.
