Thigh Lift in Fort Worth, TX | Matthew H. Steele, MD

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce excess skin and fat, creating smoother-looking skin and improved thigh contour. For patients who have struggled with diet and exercise, a thigh lift performed by Dr. Matthew H. Steele at the Fort Worth office can provide an effective solution.

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift Surgery

Qualified candidates for a thigh lift procedure typically include individuals who:

• Maintain a stable weight, at or near their ideal body weight
• Are non-smokers
• Want to eliminate loose tissue along the inner thighs
• Are overall healthy with no complicating medical conditions

Thigh Lift Procedure Details

The thigh lift procedure is performed under general anesthesia at an accredited surgical facility. Dr. Steele may combine an inner thigh lift with liposuction for optimal contouring. Incision placement depends on the degree of skin laxity, with techniques designed to minimize visible scarring.

Surgical Approach

Advanced surgical techniques allow for strategically placed incisions that can be easily concealed by clothing. After precise suture closure, drains are inserted to prevent fluid accumulation, followed by surgical dressings and a compression garment to minimize swelling.

Recovery and Results

Patients can typically return to daily activities within a few days, though significant activity restrictions remain in place for four to six weeks. Swelling and bruising are common but can be managed with ice packs, anti-inflammatory medications, and compression garments.
