Thigh Lift in Houston, TX | Dr. Kristi Sumpter

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a transformative cosmetic procedure designed to remove excessive, loose skin and tighten the remaining skin around the thighs. Houston cosmetic surgeon Dr. Kristi Sumpter specializes in this procedure, which is particularly effective for patients who have experienced significant weight loss or aging-related skin laxity.

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift

• Patients at or near their goal weight with stable weight
• Individuals with loose skin hanging from inner and/or outer thighs
• Patients seeking improved body contour and self-confidence

Surgical Approach and Techniques

Dr. Sumpter offers two primary thigh lift techniques: medial thigh lift targeting the inner thigh and lateral thigh lift addressing the outer thigh. The procedure typically involves strategic incisions in the groin area, with potential extension depending on the amount of skin to be removed.

Procedure Details

• Surgery duration: 2-4 hours
• Outpatient procedure
• Option to combine with liposuction for enhanced body contouring

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from a thigh lift is gradual, with patients typically returning to light activities within 2 weeks and achieving full recovery in 6-8 weeks. Patients can expect improved thigh appearance and increased self-confidence following the procedure.

Cost Considerations

Thigh lift surgery costs range from $8,000 to $10,000, with potential increases for combined lower body procedures.
