Thigh Lift Austin, TX | Dr. Andre Levesque

About Thigh Lift Surgery

Weight loss represents a significant personal achievement, but many individuals discover excess skin remains a challenging final step in body transformation. For patients struggling with sagging thigh skin after substantial weight loss, Dr. Andre Y. Levesque offers specialized thigh lift surgery (thighplasty) to remove excess skin and create a more contoured appearance.

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift

Thigh lift surgery is typically recommended for patients who have:

• Lost at least 100 pounds
• Experienced significant body weight changes
• Developed sagging skin due to aging
• Wrinkly or hanging skin on inner or outer thighs

Surgical Technique

Dr. Levesque performs thigh lift surgery under general anesthesia, strategically creating incisions in natural body creases. The procedure involves removing excess skin, potentially utilizing liposuction to address isolated fat pockets, and reshaping the thigh area for a tighter, more contoured appearance.

Procedure Details

• Duration: Approximately 2-3 hours
• Anesthesia: General
• Recovery Period: 6-8 weeks
• Post-Surgical Monitoring: Immediate discharge with detailed wound care instructions

Comprehensive Treatment Options

Patients can combine thigh lift surgery with complementary procedures like tummy tuck or butt lift for a comprehensive lower body transformation. Dr. Levesque customizes surgical plans to meet individual aesthetic goals and body reshaping objectives.

Important Considerations

While thigh lift surgery effectively addresses excess skin, Dr. Levesque recommends maintaining a stable, healthy weight to preserve long-lasting results. Significant weight fluctuations or pregnancy may compromise surgical outcomes.

Non-Surgical Alternatives

Although non-surgical treatments can provide minor improvements, a surgical thigh lift remains the most effective solution for moderate to severe skin laxity and fat removal. During consultation, Dr. Levesque will evaluate your specific needs and recommend the most appropriate approach.
