Overview
A thigh lift (thighplasty) can remove skin and tissue from the upper, inner, and outer thigh areas to give you a smoother, more youthful look. With a thigh lift, you can achieve what spot training at the gym sometimes can’t fix due to genetics or other reasons. Plastic surgeon, Dr. Robert Najera in Frisco, TX will re-contour the skin and tissue of the thighs to improve the muscle tone and smooth the skin of the thigh to improve the appearance of skin irregularities. Sometimes, thigh lifts can be combined with other cosmetic options, such as a lower body lift, which will address problem areas on the hips and buttocks, too.
Best Candidates
A thigh lift is the best choice for patients whose have loose or sagging skin caused by weight loss or aging. Patients should be at or near their goal weight and they should keep a stable weight after the procedure for best results. A thighplasty will tighten skin in the thigh area, but does not remove fat. Some patients may need a combined procedure that includes the surgical lift and removal of skin, as well as liposuction to remove unwanted pockets of fat.
What To Expect
Dr. Najera will choose an incision point based on the area of the thigh that is being treated, but usually an inconspicuous area in the groin is the starting point. First, the excess skin and tissue will be removed. Next, a lift is performed by tightening and smoothing the remaining tissue and muscle. To improve the overall appearance of the lower body, some patients may want to add a butt lift for more natural and even results. Once you have recovered, cardio and strength training will help maintain and enhance your newly shaped thighs.
Najera Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery Reviews
I underwent a LBL, liposuction 360, and breast implant exchange procedure with Dr. Najera, and I couldn't be happier with the outcomes. There are moments when I find myself doing a double-take because I'm amazed that this is my own body. My scars and belly button look flawless, which was my main worry, and Dr. Najera surpassed all my expectations. If you're contemplating surgery, I highly recommend it! Choosing Dr. Najera was truly the best decision I made, and I am grateful for the dream body he has given me.
I've waited a full year to review Dr. Najera because I wanted to wait until my results were final. My tush was SO flat I had to have TWO BBLs (fat transfer and a lift). This picture doesn't even do it justice. This man is a miracle worker...not even exaggerating. I wish I could give him 100 stars. And his staff is JUST as wonderful. The Before/During/After pics were taken Before (before surgery) During (after my first but before my last at the midway point) Last (after both surgeries). On the contrary - as small as my butt was, my breasts were enormous - just awful. Had a reduction and lift. Should've done that DECADES ago. Could not be happier. Best thing I have ever done for myself! If you need a miracle worker with results that look natural - Dr. Najera is who you should go see. I'm walking proof that he is skilled beyond belief!
10/10 felt safe every step of the way!
I’ve had a great experience with Dr. Najera. From the initial consultation, surgery, and postoperative follow ups. Dr. Najera will listen to your concerns and make recommendations. He is always willing to answer all your questions. Staff is very kind, professional and always greets me with a smile. Surgery staff is great as well. It was my first surgery my OR nurse explained everything very well. I’m very happy with my results. Also would like to thank Polly who helped me throughout this journey she is awesome.
Dr. Najera, very patient and very detailed with explaining things.

During/After Surgery
Thighplasty is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes 2-3 hours. It is usually an outpatient procedure and the patient can leave the same day to complete their recovery at home. Swelling, bruising, and some pain are normal for 1-2 weeks after the surgery. Patients are usually allowed to begin limited movement after 2 weeks and more strenuous activity can be done 6-8 weeks after surgery. Final results are usually visible after 3 months and will be permanent if the patient’s weight remains stable. There will be scars from the incisions, but they will fade if the patient follows Dr. Najera’s scar care instructions.
