Inner Thigh Contouring Surgery Chicago, IL | The Aesthetic Institute of Chicago - Brian Braithwaite, MD, FACS

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

A thigh lift is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the inner thigh region. This transformative body contouring surgery addresses aesthetic concerns caused by aging changes and significant weight loss.

Surgical Approach

Board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Brian Braithwaite and Dr. Lorri Cobbins utilize precise surgical techniques to reshape and refine thigh contours. The procedure involves strategic incisions tailored to each patient's specific anatomical needs.

Key Procedure Details

  • Incisions typically located along the groin crease
  • Potential incision extension towards the knee
  • Potential supplemental liposuction for enhanced body sculpting
  • Performed under general anesthesia
  • Outpatient surgical procedure

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

Patients are instructed to wear a compression garment for several weeks following the surgery. Light exercise is encouraged early in recovery, while strenuous activities are restricted for a minimum of several weeks.

Post-Surgery Guidelines

  • Wear compression garment as directed
  • Avoid intense physical activities initially
  • Resume driving and work after discontinuing narcotic pain medication

I had the most amazing experience under the care of Dr. Cobbins who performed my breast augmentation surgery. From the moment I expressed my vision to her, she listened attentively and brought it to life beyond my expectations. The results of my surgery have left me absolutely thrilled and satisfied. Dr. Cobbins is not only incredibly talented and skilled as a surgeon, but also remarkably relatable. Her warm demeanor instantly put me at ease, making the entire process comfortable and stress-free. I felt like I was in safe and capable hands throughout. Her professionalism is truly unmatched - from the initial consultation to the post-operative care, every step of the way was handled with utmost care and precision. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Cobbins to anyone considering surgery, as her expertise and dedication to her patients shine through in every aspect of her work. Thank you, Dr. Cobbins, for helping me achieve my desired results with such grace and proficiency.

I had gynecomastia gland removal and liposuction, as well as liposuction of the abdomen, with Dr. Cobbins in August of 2024. Great customer service, but I am disappointed with the results of the surgery. I still have fat and skin on my chest that hangs down, for example, when I do a plank. And the doctor told me I wouldn’t need a tummy tuck, but I still very obviously have loose skin on my abdomen as well. During the consult, I suspected I would need a tummy tuck, as I was obese as a child and could see loose skin at the time, but the doctor said no. I was hoping some of it was persistent swelling, but it’s been 7 months and I think I’m pretty close to the final result. And I haven’t gained any weight post-surgery either. I exercise 4-5 times a week in the form of resistance training and cardio. 3 stars for the price and everyone treating me well in the clinic, but I am not happy with the results of the procedure overall. I’m going to wait a couple more months, but I’m almost certain that I will need further cosmetic surgeries if I want to correct these things.

Dr. Cobbins was amazing pre-op through post-op. Answered any and all questions I had about the procedure. She's a skilled surgeon and I am thrilled with the results. Don't hesitate to book with her!
