Thigh Lift Surgery in Raleigh, NC
Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center
Losing weight is an impressive accomplishment for anyone. However, people who make it to their ideal weight occasionally need one additional step to finalize their appearance. Depending on how long you had extra weight and how much weight you eliminated, loose skin may be an added challenge if it was unable to mold to the new size and shape of your body. The thighs, especially, are an area of concern for a lot of patients.
Raleigh, NC plastic surgeon Dr. Glenn Lyle offers thigh lift surgery (also called thighplasty) at Lyle Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Center, which trims loose skin on the outer or inner thighs to reveal a firmer, more contoured appearance. Thighplasty surgery has risen in popularity because it offers natural results for patients who don’t want hanging skin on the thighs.
Who Are Candidates For Thigh Lift Surgery?

Case Study
This 47-year-old woman lost over 100 pounds with bariatric surgery. She had loose skin and excess fatty tissue in her lower abdomen and thighs. She had a very disproportionate lower body. An initial body lift with a vertical thigh lift was performed. The thighs were so large that a second liposuction session and additional liposuction and additional skin removal were performed 3 months later led to major improvements in her appearance now one year postop.
What Happens During Thigh Lift Surgery?
During a thigh lift, general anesthesia is commonly administered. An incision is made close to the top portion of the thigh in the natural crease where the thigh attaches to the torso. This incision typically continues down to the midpoint of the thigh area. This allows enough room to use liposuction (if necessary) to remove isolated pockets of fat as well as to trim all loose skin in the top thigh area. The remaining skin will be pulled upward so it is tight and safely secured with sutures. In specific cases, an incision may be necessary in the outer thigh area or underneath the buttocks, depending on the amount of tissue being removed. This surgery at Lyle Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Center reshapes the complete thigh area, leaving a shapelier, tighter, more contoured appearance.
