Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery in Houston

Houston's extended shorts season highlights the challenges of excess thigh skin, which can impact personal comfort and fashion choices. Age, weight loss, genetics, and other factors contribute to loose, sagging skin that may cause medical and aesthetic concerns. Thigh lift surgery, or thighplasty, removes excess skin from inner and outer thighs to create smoother contours and a firmer leg appearance.

Benefits of Thigh Lift Surgery

A professional thigh lift offers multiple advantages for patients experiencing skin laxity:

  • Reduced skin irritation and infection risks
  • Decreased chafing during physical activities
  • Improved clothing fit and body proportions
  • Enhanced self-confidence and body image
  • More youthful and toned leg appearance

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift

Thigh lift surgery is typically recommended for patients who have experienced significant weight loss, typically 100 pounds or more. Ideal candidates include individuals with:

  • Loose, hanging skin on upper thighs
  • Changes in body shape due to aging or pregnancy
  • Stable body weight
  • Good overall health

Surgical Procedure Details

Dr. Bidros strategically places thigh lift incisions in less visible areas, such as inside the groin, to minimize scarring. The procedure involves carefully excising loose skin, potentially removing excess fat, and reshaping thigh muscles and tissue. Deep support sutures may be used to maintain optimal positioning during healing.

Recovery and Expectations

Thigh lift surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. Patients will need to wear a compression garment for 4-6 weeks and attend follow-up appointments. While initial results are visible immediately, final outcomes emerge after bruising and swelling subside.

Surgical Considerations

While a thigh lift primarily addresses skin removal, patients interested in fat reduction may discuss combining the procedure with liposuction. Dr. Bidros evaluates each patient's unique needs and recommends personalized surgical approaches.

I had my breast reduction with Dr Bidros after doing 6 other consultations. I choose Dr Bidros because of his honesty when answering my questions, addressing ALL of my concerns and even his nurses and office staff are respectful which is HARD to find unfortunately. Fast forward to the day of my surgery, Dr Bidros came in, got me ready, and even reminded that I’m in great hands. After surgery Dr Bidros spoke with my family and kept them in the loop about my care. During my healing process I had an issue, called the office and was able to speak with Dr Bidros which is different from leaving a message and getting a call back within 24 BUSINESS hours especially after having surgery. His bedside manner is also HARD to find!! If you’re searching for a surgeon who’s a perfectionist with amazing office staff give them a try. I searched for months until I found Dr Bidros and I hope this review can help someone who searched long and hard like I did.

Thank you to Jackie, Connie, and Alondra for providing a great experience for me! Also to Dr. Birdros for making the experience so easy and making sure what was best for me!

I went to the clinic to get the Secret RF treatment done on full face as well as for acne scars and Mandy and Odessa took great care of me during the treatment. My bothersome areas I mentioned where scars are a little deeper, Mandy targeted those areas which I loved, look forward to the results and future visits to the clinic!!!

Let me tell you all something.. This is the BEST Dr I've ever been too!!! I was so scared of what I was about to go through. Because I had breast cancer I wasn't ready to give up the girls (my breasts) but Dr. Bidros reassured me that he would take good care of me. When I say I absolutely LOVE my new ones. He is so pleasant, he sits and talks with you and answers all questions. I read his reviews before I chose him and it was the RIGHT choice!! I can't thank him enough. If you need some work done on your body I strongly recommend Dr. Bidros! Oh an his STAFF are THE BEST HANDS DOWN!!! THANK ALL OF YOU LADIES for treating me like I'm part of your family because that is what it felt like. THANK YOU DR. BIDROS THE MOST!!!!!
