Thigh Lift in Houston, TX | Murillo Plastic Surgery
A thigh lift, also known as thighplasty, is a body contouring procedure that reshapes and tightens the upper legs by removing excess skin and fat. Many patients struggle with sagging or loose skin on the thighs due to weight loss, aging, or genetics, which can make the legs appear less toned and even cause discomfort with clothing or movement. At Murillo Plastic Surgery in Houston, TX, Dr. Carlos Murillo helps patients achieve smoother, more youthful contours that restore confidence and comfort.

Murillo Plastic Surgery welcomes patients from all across the greater Houston area, including The Woodlands, Cypress, Katy, Sugar Land, and Pearland. We also care for patients traveling from out of state and abroad.
What Happens during Thigh Lift Surgery?
During a thigh lift, Dr. Murillo carefully removes excess skin and may incorporate liposuction to address stubborn fat deposits. The goal is not only to create slimmer, more proportionate thighs but also to ensure results that look natural and harmonious with the rest of the body. Depending on your individual needs, incisions may be placed along the inner thigh, outer thigh, or groin area, with a focus on minimizing visible scarring.
What Can I Expect During Thigh Lift Recovery
Recovery from a thigh lift typically involves a short period of downtime, with most patients resuming light activities within 1–2 weeks and more strenuous exercise after several weeks. While healing times vary, patients notice an immediate improvement in the shape and contour of their thighs, with results that continue to refine as swelling subsides. With proper care, thigh lift results are long-lasting, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
