What Is A Thigh Lift?
Achieving weight loss goals is an incredible victory for anyone. However, for some individuals, reaching their ideal weight might be just one step short of fulfilling their complete transformation. How long you've carried excess weight and the total amount of weight lost can result in surplus skin, which may not conform to your body's new contour and size. This is particularly true for the thigh area, which is a common concern among many patients. Dr. Nicholas K. Howland, a board-certified plastic surgeon at Howland Plastic Surgery, specializes in performing thigh lift surgeries, also known as thighplasty. This procedure is designed to remove excess skin from both the outer and inner thighs, leading to a more sculpted and firm appearance. Thigh lifts have become increasingly sought after for their ability to produce natural-looking enhancements for those dealing with loose skin around their thighs. To explore how this surgery can benefit you, consider scheduling a consultation with our surgical team at our Draper, UT practice.
How Is A Thigh Lift Performed?
In a thigh lift procedure, patients are typically put under general anesthesia for their comfort. The operation begins with a carefully placed incision in the natural fold where the thigh meets the torso, sometimes extending toward the middle of the thigh. This strategic placement allows Dr. Howland to perform liposuction (if necessary) to eliminate resistant fat deposits, as well as to remove excess skin from the upper thigh. The skin is then stretched upward, ensuring a smooth, taut appearance, and is securely stitched into place. Depending on the individual's needs and the extent of tissue removal required, additional incisions may be made either beneath the buttocks or along the outer thigh known as a lateral thigh lift. The goal of thigh lift surgery at Howland Plastic Surgery is to sculpt the entire thigh region, achieving a more defined, tighter, and beautifully contoured silhouette.

Howland Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Howland is wonderful and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I consulted with another 5 star Top plastic surgeon but chose Dr. Howland because he was able to treat everything I wanted in one procedure and did an INCREDIBLE job as well as his warm disposition! I am so grateful. I always wanted a breast reduction and finally am in a size i am so happy with! They look AMAZING! He is very personable, is down to earth and has wonderful bedside manner. This is coming from a nurse! He listened to all of my concerns and took great care me. I don't typically do reviews unless I am compelled however I just had to give him the review that he deserves. These procedures are not a joke and they should be treated in kind. He was great! His staff is wonderful and responsive and there around the clock if you need them. I would recommend him 1000x over!
Dr. Howland is amazing. Just now writing long overdue review. Had breast reduction. It changed my life. He is the best at his craft.

Dr Nick Howland was able to give me the trust I need it to go through a rough surgery for my body. I love the results i love the confidence it gave me back, his staff treated me like a queen. His incisions were perfect and you hardly can tell the incisions since it looks like a hair line. very impressive with his skills for sculpting. I totally will recommend him and use him again.
