What Is A Thigh Lift?
Weight loss is a monumental achievement, but sometimes, the results are not everything you hoped they would be. Depending on how much extra weight you were carrying and how long you had it, your body's skin may not be able to naturally shrink back down to its new size. This is especially true for the thighs. At Chirag Mehta MD Plastic Surgery, we perform thigh lift surgery (or thighplasty) for Sherman, TX individuals who are frustrated by the look and feel of loose, saggy skin. During this surgery, Dr. Chirag Mehta trims away excess skin on the outer or inner thighs to reveal a more contoured, tighter appearance. Whether you want to correct sagging skin brought on by age or wish to take the final step on your weight loss journey by eliminating loose skin, we invite you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Mehta today to learn more about thighplasty.
How Do You Perform Thigh Lift Surgery?
For a thigh lift, we usually start by administering general anesthesia. Once you're sedated, Dr. Mehta will make an incision near the top portion of the leg where the thigh and torso come together. This incision usually runs down to the middle section of the thigh area, allowing enough space for Dr. Mehta to use liposuction (if necessary) to eliminate stubborn pockets of fat and to trim away all excess skin at the top thigh area. The skin will be stretched upward so it can be tightened and safely secured with sutures. In certain cases, an incision may be made in the outer thigh area or underneath the buttocks, depending on the amount of skin and tissue being removed. Thigh lift surgery at Chirag Mehta MD Plastic Surgery reshapes the entire thigh area for a shapelier, tighter, more contoured appearance.
What Are the Benefits of A Thigh Lift?

Chirag Mehta MD Plastic Surgery Reviews
So far a great thigh lift experience! Set realistic expectations - I am very modest and easily uncomfortable having doctors examining me but never felt that way with Dr. Mehta. I think he shoots it straight and gave me so much information...stuff that I never would've thought of to ask. The procedure was more expensive than I thought it would be but I booked it the same day. I was sure he was the right doctor and would do the very best job to address my issues and set realistic expectations. I love Dr. Mehta and his staff. They are fun, down to Earth, and still professional.Updated on 25 Apr 2022:I have hated my legs for as long as I can remember so I finally made an appointment to see what could be done to address the saggy skin on my upper thighs, the contour irregularities, and the bulky calves. Dr. Mehta examined me and set a plan to normalize my legs. He provided a crescent thighplasty with lipo to the calves to debulk and thighs to contour. I'm only 1 week post-op and couldn't be happier!! Dr. Mehta understood the assignment!!!Updated on 30 May 2022:I love my "new" legs! It has been about a month in which im now pain-free and getting around good again. My incisions are healing, and swelling continues to go down. I've gone to 4-5 lymphatic massages and despite the cost and recovery, I am so thankful for the procedures. I can't believe the vast difference in my calves especially. I go back to see Dr. Mehta in 2 weeks and I think he's going to be pleased too.Updated on 19 May 2023:Thought I would post an update now that my legs are completely healed from surgery. Honestly I couldn't be happier with my results and feel so much mote comfortable in my own skin and especially in shorts. This picture is before surgery and now at 1 year post-OP. On my 1 year checkup, I booked a brachioplasty with the same surgeon to get rid of the bat wings.
