Thighplasty in Plano

Not all patients will need liposuction as part of their thighplasty in Plano. However, it may be used on more stubborn fat. During your consultation, we can determine if this is necessary to help you achieve toned and contoured thighs.

You may be able to include a fat transfer with a thighplasty if you have enough fat to transfer to the desired location. During your consultation, Dr. Barton assesses your fat to determine if this treatment will yield successful results.

Fat transfers allow us to remove fat from one area of your body, like your thighs, to another, more desirable area.

Small amounts of fat can improve your facial contours and aesthetics by smoothing wrinkles, defining cheekbones, and even repairing scars. We can also smooth wrinkles on your hands.

Larger amounts of fat can be transferred to your buttocks or breasts for natural enhancements.

Yes, after your thighplasty in Plano, you should wear compression garments to minimize swelling and support tissue healing. Compression garments help to improve blood flow, reduce the risk of infection, and promote healing. We will give you instructions on how long to wear the garments for optimal results.

After any surgery, you will have scars in the treatment area. The location and size of the scars depend on the targeted part of the thighs. During your consultation, Dr. Barton will set realistic expectations with you regarding scarring. Most scars fade gradually, but you can always visit our aesthetics practice for treatments to target them.

We determine if you’re eligible for a thighplasty during your consultation based on the following criteria:

• If you have sagging or excess skin on your thighs.
• If you are in good health and can maintain your current weight.
• If you have fat deposits on your thighs that are resistant to diet and exercise.

We will determine that you are not a candidate for a thighplasty in Plano if you fall under the following:

• You have a medical condition that could complicate surgery.
• Poor general health or fluctuating weight.
• Smoking or the inability to abstain from smoking for a long duration of time (2 to 4 months).

We will also determine that you are not a candidate for this surgery if you have unrealistic expectations about the results. Dr. Barton strives to set clear expectations for you regarding your post-operative experience by sharing before and after photos of her former thighplasty patients.
