Thigh lift

If fitness and weight loss efforts have not achieved your goals for a body that is firmer, more youthful-looking and more proportionate to your overall body image, a surgical thigh lift may be right for you. The thigh lift is a common plastic surgery operation that removes loose or excess skin on the outer or inner thighs. In many cases, the fatty tissue might be treated with liposuction first to reduce the excess fat before lifting the skin. Many of these surgeries are performed after massive weight loss to remove the excess skin. They may also be performed as part of a total body lift – where a tummy, thigh and buttock lift are combined to achieve the desired body shape and proportions.

There are many options with thigh lift surgery that target certain areas for specific results. To learn about the various ways to reshape your legs, call Dr. Gallas in Katy, TX and schedule a consultation. He will be able to guide you to the best solutions for your body type.

• Inner thigh lift: Just like it sounds, this procedure lifts the inner thigh area and helps people who have trouble eliminating excess fat through diet and exercise. An inner thigh lift may also be used to treat reduced skin elasticity caused by the aging process. Patients who have lost a lot of weight are ideal candidates for an inner thigh lift. The inner thigh lift can be done in combination with other cosmetic surgery procedures as well. If your inner thighs are large and have a lot of fatty tissue, Dr. Gallas may recommend doing liposuction first to remove as much of the excess fat as possible followed by tightening the skin with a thigh lift.
• Bilateral thigh lift: The bilateral thigh lift procedure is designed to tighten skin along the inner and outer thigh. This procedure is especially helpful to those who have excess skin after extreme weight loss.
