Thigh Lift (Thighplasty) in San Antonio, TX | Dr. Daniel Lee

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin from the inner thigh area. This transformative surgery is particularly beneficial for patients who have experienced significant weight loss and struggle with loose, sagging skin that does not respond to diet or exercise.

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift Surgery

• Individuals with significant loose or hanging skin on inner thighs
• Patients who have achieved substantial weight loss
• Individuals in good overall health
• Non-smokers or those willing to quit before surgery

Surgical Procedure Details

Dr. Daniel Lee performs thigh lift surgery using IV conscious sedation, ensuring patient comfort without general anesthesia. The procedure involves carefully removing excess skin and tightening the remaining tissues to create a more contoured and streamlined thigh appearance.

Recovery and Healing Process

Recovery from a thigh lift requires specific post-operative care. Patients can typically return to work within one week, with full healing occurring over several months. Key recovery guidelines include:

• Avoid lifting objects heavier than 5 pounds for the first two weeks
• Maintain light walking to prevent blood clots
• Follow a protein-rich diet to support healing
• Attend follow-up appointments with Dr. Lee

Expected Results and Scarring

Thigh lift results include dramatically improved thigh contours with tighter, smoother skin. Surgical scars are strategically placed to minimize visibility and typically fade over time. Individual results may vary based on patient-specific factors.
