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
