Texas Thigh Lift — Dr. David M. Turner

Providing expert thighplasty to patients in Austin, Round Rock and San Marcos, TX

What is a Thigh Lift?

Thigh lifts, also known as thigh reductions or thighplasty, remove excess skin from your thighs and buttocks and erase the dimpled look produced by cellulite. Most sagging skin in these areas is caused by weight loss.

Dr. David M. Turner is an expert surgeon for thigh lifts in the Austin, TX, area. He works with a dedicated team of professionals to provide the best thighplasty results to his patients, many of whom hail from Round Rock, San Marcos and other outlying cities.

How is a Thigh Lift Performed?

Our thigh lift patients in Austin are typically placed under general anesthesia for the operation, which takes about three hours. Thighplasty removes excess skin and fat from both the inside and the outside of the upper thigh. The remaining tissue is reshaped and tightened, and the skin is reduced or re-draped over the new, smooth body contour.

A thigh lift leaves a noticeable scar that begins in the groin, traverses the inner thigh, runs under the crease of the buttock and ends on the hip. The procedure will improve your body's contour when seen through trousers or tight dresses, but the scars will be visible when some shorts or bathing suits are worn. An incision higher up on the body hides the scar with some clothing, but may remove less tissue.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Thigh Lift?

There are many reasons people opt for thighplasty with Dr. Turner in Austin. You may be a good candidate for thigh reduction if:

• Your weight is relatively stable.
• You have excess soft tissue along the inner or medial thigh region and/or the outer thigh.
• You are a healthy individual who does not have medical conditions that can impair healing or increase risk of surgery.
• You are a non-smoker.
• You have a positive outlook and realistic goals for what thigh lift surgery can accomplish.
• You are committed to leading a healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition and fitness.

What is the Recovery Process for a Thigh Lift?

When a thigh lift is complete, the incision areas may be bandaged, and you may experience some bruising, swelling and tightness in the thighs. Stitches will be removed within a week after the procedure, while deep sutures will be taken out two or three weeks later.

Depending on the individual, recovery times will vary. Most of our thigh lift patients in Austin are able to go back to work within two to three weeks after surgery. Four to five post-operative office visits are required.
