Imagine slipping into your favorite jeans or swimsuit, feeling completely at ease and comfortable. The inner thighs can be a stubborn area where diet and exercise often fall short. Aging, significant weight loss (including gastric bypass surgery), or genetics can contribute to sagging skin and uneven contours in the area. The good news is, a body contouring surgeon can tone your upper legs by removing the excess skin – tightening the thighs and helping you turn that vision of the perfect bathing suit look into reality.
If you’re seeking a transformative solution to achieve smoother, firmer thighs, an inner thigh lift in Dallas and Southlake might be the answer. Our board-eligible and board-certified plastic surgeons offer personalized procedures that complement your overall body profile, letting you rediscover your confidence!
You may be a good candidate for an inner thighplasty in Dallas or one of our other office locations if you are a non-smoker who has no underlying medical conditions (like diabetes) or they are well-managed, but you are unhappy about the appearance of your legs. This may include loss of elasticity due to aging, or persistent fatty deposits and poor skin tone, often presented as:
Please keep in mind that a thigh reshaping surgery is not a weight-loss solution. Your weight should be stable and you should not be planning on losing more any time soon. Our plastic surgeons will evaluate your general health and medical history, and design an effective treatment plan based on your specific goals.
During your consultation, we will provide detailed instructions tailored to your specific situation. This may include guidelines on how to maintain a balanced diet, stop smoking, and possibly adjust certain medications. We may take pictures of your thighs to compare before and after results. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions and address any concerns, and open communication with doctors and staff ensures that you are fully prepared for this procedure.
On the day of your surgery, you will be welcomed into our in-office surgical facility in Southlake. Before the procedure, your plastic surgeon will mark the incision lines, adjusting any sagging skin at different angles. While you are under general anesthesia, they will make incisions along the crease line of the groin. Depending on the specifics of the inner thigh lift, the incision may extend around the back of your thigh, around your hip and back, or down toward your knee.
Your surgeon will carefully reshape the underlying tissue by removing fat, repositioning tissue, tightening nearby muscles, and trimming away any excess skin. They will use stitches to secure the tissue deep in your leg, supporting the new contours. The final step involves closing the incision via stitches, clips, or special skin adhesive.
An inner thigh lift surgery may take up to two hours to complete. Our meticulous approach and attention to detail ensure that your results are comprehensive and dramatic, while still looking natural so you can get into a bikini or swimsuit with confidence!
Before your big day, you should make arrangements to have someone drive you home. Our staff will provide you with comprehensive instructions regarding:
It is important that the surgical site is not subjected to excessive motion during the time of healing. Make sure to get plenty of rest and avoid any form of strenuous activities. For the first several days, you will experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort – this is normal! You should be able to return to most normal activities within two weeks.
Dallas patients who get an inner thigh lift should notice that their initial results will be visible almost immediately, although it may take several months for the final results to fully develop.
