Thigh-Lift Surgery

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 incisions to remove excess fat and skin while minimizing scarring.

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-lift surgery is an effective option to reshape the inner and outer thighs. 

Our Dallas-area plastic surgeons are internationally recognized for delivering outstanding clinical care and conducting groundbreaking research. 

Thigh-Lift Surgery: What to Expect

During an initial consultation, 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 thigh-lift 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 of a Thigh-Lift

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.
