Thigh Lift in Houston, TX

Remove excess skin and refine inner or outer thigh contours for a smoother, more sculpted lower body.

Feel More at Ease in Your Body

Excess skin and laxity in the thighs can make even simple moments—crossing your legs, walking in summer clothing, trying on fitted pants—feel uncomfortable or self-conscious. For many patients, this concern lingers even after major weight loss or dedicated fitness efforts. A thigh lift offers a way to finally regain control of your appearance, free from the discomfort, chafing, or aesthetic imbalance caused by loose skin.

At Kristy Hamilton Plastic Surgery, thigh lifts are performed with careful anatomical planning, refined incisions, and an eye for proportion, creating subtle, seamless results that move with your body, not against it.

What Is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the inner and/or outer thighs to create a smoother, firmer contour. It is ideal for patients with sagging, deflated, or redundant skin due to weight loss, aging, or genetics.

All techniques are customized to your anatomy and aesthetic goals, with scar placement designed to be as discreet as possible.

Depending on your needs, Dr. Hamilton may recommend:

A medial (inner) thigh lift, which targets laxity in the inner thigh
A lateral (outer) thigh lift, which reshapes the outer thigh and hip contour
A vertical thigh lift, for more extensive skin removal along the length of the inner thigh
A liposuction-assisted lift, which combines fat reduction with skin tightening

Dr. Kristy is amazing! She is so knowledgeable and always gives the best advice. I’ve been going to her for years and always love my results. Her team, including Dr. Franco, is also amazing. My favorite thing about KHPS is that they always prioritize natural-looking results and are honest about what you need, versus trying to sell you more treatments. I highly recommend.

Your Thigh Lift What to Expect

Consultation

Dr. Hamilton will examine your thighs, discuss your goals, and recommend the right lift technique for your anatomy and skin laxity.

Surgery

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and may take 2–3 hours, depending on the extent of the lift and whether liposuction is used.

Skin Removal and Contouring

Excess tissue is removed, and the remaining skin is re-draped to create a smooth, lifted thigh contour.

Incision Closure and Aftercare

Incisions are carefully closed using layered, fine-line sutures, and compression garments are applied to support healing and reduce swelling.

Thigh Lift Recovery & Results

With Dr. Hamilton’s accelerated recovery protocol in place, most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return to light activity within 1–2 weeks. Swelling and bruising gradually subside, and compression garments help guide healing and maintain your new contours.

Over time, scars fade significantly, and your thighs will appear tighter, smoother, and more proportionate to your frame. Most patients report a renewed sense of comfort in clothing and with movement, enjoying enhanced day-to-day confidence.
