Thigh Lift Dallas, TX | Kevin R. Hanz, M.D. Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery in Dallas

Weight loss represents a significant personal achievement, but many individuals discover that loose skin can remain a challenge after reaching their ideal weight. Dallas, TX board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kevin Hanz offers thigh lift surgery (thighplasty) to address this concern, trimming away excess skin on the outer and inner thighs to produce a firmer, more contoured appearance.

What is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and improve the appearance of the thighs by removing surplus skin and reducing localized fat deposits. This transformative surgery helps patients achieve smoother, more proportionate leg contours after significant weight loss or aging.

Benefits of Thigh Lift Surgery

• Reduce loose skin on inner and outer thighs
• Improve overall leg appearance and symmetry
• Enhance body proportions
• Boost self-confidence in clothing choices
• Minimize the appearance of cellulite

Surgical Technique

During thigh lift surgery, Dr. Hanz typically administers general anesthesia. An incision is strategically placed in the natural crease where the thigh meets the torso, allowing for precise skin and tissue modification. The procedure may involve surgical liposuction to eliminate isolated fat pockets and trim away loose skin, resulting in a taut, refined thigh contour.

Recovery and Results

The thigh lift procedure generally takes 2-3 hours. Patients can expect initial recovery to span 6-8 weeks, with gradual improvement in swelling and bruising. Dr. Hanz provides comprehensive post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal healing and minimal scarring.

Combining Procedures

Many patients opt to combine thigh lift surgery with complementary procedures such as tummy tucks or butt lifts to achieve comprehensive body contouring results. During the initial consultation, Dr. Hanz will discuss personalized surgical strategies tailored to individual aesthetic goals.

Candidacy for Thigh Lift

Ideal candidates for thigh lift surgery are individuals who have maintained a stable weight, possess realistic expectations, and seek to address excess skin or localized fat in the thigh region. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Hanz will determine the most appropriate approach for each patient.
