Restore And Reshape
Your Perfect Curves
Sagging skin in the thighs can be due to aging or genetics, but it is often related to weight loss. The growing popularity of weight loss medications like semaglutide means that many patients are experiencing, sometimes extreme, loose skin in the thighs that no amount of squats or external treatments can effectively address. Dr. Paul Fortes is highly skilled at providing each patient precisely what they need to achieve their ideal, individual results. Dr. Fortes and his team are proud to offer Thigh Lift in Houston, TX, for renewed confidence.

Tighter Skin, Smoother Curves
The skin in the thighs may become stretched, loose, and rippled due to weight loss or other fluctuations, like after pregnancy or hormonal changes due to aging. To correct this and achieve toned thighs and smooth skin, a Thigh Lift, also called a thighplasty, can be performed. During this surgical procedure, excess skin, fat, and tissue are removed from the outer and inner thighs, and liposuction may also be used to remove fat and help sculpt the area.
This technique focuses on the bikini line area and is used to tone and tighten the skin in the extreme upper thighs. Incisions are usually made near the groin area, where fat or skin is removed, the skin is pulled tight, and then incisions are closed to produce as little visible scarring as possible.
A Vertical Thigh Lift, also called a Vertical S.M.I.L.E Thigh Lift, is a more comprehensive procedure that can address even severe skin laxity and pockets of fat. An incision is typically made from near the groin all the way down to the knee or just above the knee. Fat deposits can be removed via liposuction, and the skin can be precisely smoothed for a toned effect, especially in the front and inner thigh.
Shorts, Swimsuits, Confidence Restored
If you find yourself uncomfortable with loose skin and excess fat around the thighs, wishing you could stop trying endless squats and wear what you want again, a Thigh Lift could be a great solution. This procedure offers benefits like:
Your Path
To Better Legs
Anyone with excess skin and fat throughout the thighs, especially those who have recently experienced significant weight loss, may be a good candidate for thighplasty. Since this is a surgical procedure, candidates should be healthy enough to recover from it and should be close to their goal weight since major fluctuations can reverse the effects of the procedure.

Depending on how well the healing process goes, patients may need to take around two weeks off of work and avoid heavy household duties for the same time frame.
