What is a thigh lift?
Dr. Christine Fisher of Austin Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery describe the thigh lift as a procedure used to reshape the thighs with the reduction or removal of excess fat and skin. In doing this, the patient will have a tighter thigh area that cannot be achieved with diet and exercise. This difficult, troublesome areas for patients can be addressed with this procedure to achieve firmer, tighter skin in the area that eliminates sagging that results from extensive weight loss or aging.
