What Is a Thigh Lift (Thighplasty)?

A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the thighs to enhance their shape and firmness. This procedure addresses issues such as sagging skin, often resulting from aging or significant weight loss.

Inner thigh lift – Removes excess skin and fat from the inner thighs, improving contour and tightness



Outer thigh lift – Targets sagging skin on the outer thighs, enhancing the shape of the thighs and hips



Vertical thigh lift – Designed for those with significant skin laxity, involving a vertical incision along the inner thigh



Mini thigh lift – Ideal for mild sagging, using a small incision in the groin for subtle contouring

Ideal Candidates

You may be a suitable candidate for a thigh lift if you:



Have undergone significant weight loss leading to sagging thigh skin



Are in good overall health without medical conditions that could impair healing



Maintain a stable weight and do not smoke

A consultation with Dr. Baylan will help determine the best approach for your needs.

Thigh Lift Surgery: What to Expect

During a thigh lift surgery in Houston, Dr. Baylan makes carefully planned incisions based on the type of thigh lift being performed.

An inner thigh lift involves an incision along the groin that may extend down the inner thigh.
An outer thigh lift typically involves a longer incision that extends from the groin around the hip.
With a vertical thigh lift, a vertical incision is made from the groin to the knee, allowing maximum skin removal and reshaping.
A mini thigh lift involves getting a small incision in the groin to tighten the upper thigh area, offering subtle yet effective contouring.

Once the incision is made, excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining tissue is carefully reshaped and secured with sutures. In some cases, liposuction may be performed to refine the thigh’s contour further.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately two to three hours. Patients can expect some swelling and bruising, but compression garments help support healing.

Recovery and Aftercare

Post-surgery, you can expect:

Dressings and bandages – Applied to incision sites
Compression garments – To minimize swelling and support healing
Limited activity – Advised during the initial recovery period

Our team at Baylan Plastic Surgery will provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote a smooth recovery.
