Many people experience lax skin on their legs due to dramatic weight loss or the natural aging process. A thigh lift is a contouring procedure designed to address this problem, creating a firmer and younger appearance. Dr. Stephanie Teotia uses her expertise as a leading Dallas plastic surgeon to deliver outstanding results with this surgery.

Why Do Your Thighs Sag?

Collagen and elastin are two essential proteins that are the building blocks of healthy, resilient skin. As your body’s ability to produce these structural proteins declines, you will ultimately experience sagging and drooping. Hormonal changes, such as decreased estrogen levels due to menopause, can also contribute to a loss of skin elasticity and muscle tone in the thighs. Additionally, rapid weight loss or gain can stretch your skin beyond its capacity to bounce back. Factors like genetics, sun exposure, and weight fluctuations can further accelerate this process.

While a healthy lifestyle can promote skin elasticity, you may wish to consider a thigh lift if you experience laxity that no longer responds to your nutrition and fitness efforts.
