Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

Losing significant weight is an impressive accomplishment that sometimes requires an additional step to finalize body appearance. For many patients, loose skin on the thighs can persist even after substantial weight loss. Dr. Glenn Lyle offers thigh lift surgery (thighplasty) at Lyle Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Center to address this concern, trimming loose skin on outer or inner thighs to reveal a firmer, more contoured appearance.

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift

Thighplasty is typically recommended for patients who have:

  • Lost 100 or more pounds
  • Excess skin on upper thighs
  • Loose or hanging skin due to aging
  • Body shape changes from pregnancy

Surgical Technique

The procedure involves general anesthesia and a carefully placed incision near the top of the thigh in a natural crease. Dr. Lyle may use liposuction to remove isolated fat pockets and trim loose skin. The remaining skin is pulled upward and secured with sutures, reshaping the thigh area for a more contoured appearance.

Recovery and Expectations

Thigh lift surgery typically takes 2-3 hours to complete. Patients can expect swelling and bruising during initial recovery, with most individuals able to walk slowly within a few days. The full recovery period spans approximately 6-8 weeks, during which at-home wound care helps optimize healing.

Comprehensive Body Contouring

Dr. Lyle often recommends combining thigh lift with other body contouring procedures such as lower body lift or tummy tuck to achieve comprehensive aesthetic results. This approach allows patients to address multiple areas of concern in a single surgical plan.

Benefits of Thigh Lift Surgery

  • Eliminates excess, hanging skin
  • Improves body contours
  • Enhances self-confidence
  • Creates a more proportionate silhouette

Dr. Lyle and his staff members are amazing! While visiting his office, I met with an esthetician, financial advisor, nurses, PA's and Dr. Lyle himself. Every experience at this office has been fantastic, everyone is so nice and kind. I had a tummy tuck performed and my stomach looks better than it did in high school! I am so pleased with the outcome...and so is my husband 😊! I would highly recommend Dr. Lyle and will be returning for anything I might need in the future.

From the moment we met Dr. Lyle, we knew we had chosen the perfect doctor to perform my daughter’s breast reduction. The entire office and surgical staff was kind and welcoming and calmed her nerves. My daughter absolutely loved Brittany (Dr. Lyle’s nurse) and Haley (Dr. Lyle’s physician assistant). We had a phenomenal experience her day of surgery. As a nurse mom, my standards are high. I felt incredibly comfortable knowing she was in the capable hands of an experienced nurse anesthetist doing her anesthesia (thank you Claire) Dr. Lyle’s has been practicing for nearly 30 years. His experience and expertise put me at ease. He is a true artist. My daughter’s surgery went smoothly and she was absolutely thrilled with her results. Dr. Lyle and his team gave her the gift of self confidence and I cannot thank them enough!

I have, literally, always been self-conscious about the shape of my breasts. Over the years, this got so bad that I started avoiding mirrors when changing, and I truly believed there was nothing that could be done. But, this past August I worked up the courage to speak with a plastic surgeon. After reading his other reviews and looking at his gallery online, I decided to speak with Dr. Lyle in person. It was the best decision I ever made for my self-esteem. Every single person I've had the pleasure of meeting at his office has been an absolute joy. From the cheerful reception staff, to the nurses, to the scheduling team, I was completely at ease and knew I was in good hands. My surgery turned out even better than I'd hoped, and I cannot adequately describe how much this changed my life. If you are thinking about having a breast lift, please give the team a call. And thank you to everyone at the office who gave me back a part of myself I thought I'd lost.

My case was a little different. Had previous implants that were placed under the muscle as most are. Due to the healing of my body and the fact that I didn’t want a lift, I was left looking disfigured. Saw Dr. Lyle and was scheduled fairly quickly. I was super nervous as the old implants had to be removed and a new put in. This experience was far superior to three years ago mainly due to the exceptional staff. But major kudos to Dr. Lyle for making my new breast look natural and absolutely perfect (my husband is over the moon!). This surgery was not only something that was aesthetic for me. Being newly married, there was a lot of emotional/mental components to it as well. Couldn’t be happier. And Brittany, his nurse, is far superior to the nurses I had before. To top it off, at my post op visit, Stephanie did some Juvaderm in my lips and they look fabulously natural. Highly recommend ALL of the providers!
