Thigh Lift Surgery in Houston: Reshape Your Lower Body

Dr. Donald R Collins specializes in thigh lift surgery in Houston to help patients achieve smoother, more proportionate thigh contours. This procedure reshapes the thighs by removing excess skin and fat, resulting in firmer and more youthful-looking legs.

Is a Thigh Lift Right for You?

Ideal candidates for thigh lift surgery typically have:

Stable body weight
Excess tissue along inner or outer thighs
No medical conditions impacting healing
Realistic goals and positive outlook
Commitment to a healthy lifestyle

It's important to note that thigh lifts are not solely for fat removal. In cases of poor skin elasticity, Dr. Collins may recommend combining liposuction with thigh lift techniques.

The Thigh Lift Procedure

Anesthesia

Dr. Collins administers either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia for patient comfort during surgery.

Incision Techniques

Incision patterns vary based on the treatment area and degree of correction needed. Common techniques include:

Groin incision extending down and around the back of the thigh
Minimal incision medial thigh lift (groin area only)
Extended incision from groin to hip for outer thigh contouring

Tissue Reshaping

Through these incisions, Dr. Collins tightens underlying tissues and removes excess skin to create smoother, better-toned lower body contours.

Thigh Lift Results and Recovery

Results are visible almost immediately, though initially obscured by swelling and bruising. Patients typically wear compression garments for several weeks to support healing tissues. The procedure dramatically improves skin quality in both appearance and feel.

Post-Operative Care

Dr. Collins provides detailed instructions for at-home care, including how to care for incisions and drains if used. Following these guidelines is crucial for optimal healing and results.
