Thigh Lift Oak Lawn, IL | SAC Plastic Surgery - Dr. Saeed Chowdhry

About Thigh Lift Surgery

Weight loss represents a significant personal achievement. However, some individuals require additional intervention to finalize their body transformation. After substantial weight loss, skin may not retract completely, leaving hanging tissue on specific body areas. For many patients, the thighs become a particular concern.

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Saeed Chowdhry offers surgical thigh lifts (thighplasty) at SAC Plastic Surgery, which effectively trims loose skin on outer and inner thighs to reveal a firmer, more contoured appearance. Thighplasty has gained popularity for delivering natural-looking results for patients seeking improved body confidence.

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift

Thigh lift surgery is an optimal skin tightening and removal treatment particularly beneficial for individuals who have:

• Lost 100 or more pounds
• Experienced body changes from aging
• Undergone significant body transformations after pregnancy
• Developed hanging or loose skin on upper thighs

Surgical Technique

Thigh lift surgery typically requires general anesthesia. The surgical approach involves creating an incision along the natural fold where the thigh connects to the torso, extending to the thigh's midsection. This technique allows for precise surgical liposuction and excess skin removal.

Procedure Details

• Duration: 2-3 hours
• Anesthesia: General
• Incision placement: Natural body contours
• Recovery period: 6-8 weeks

What to Expect During Recovery

Patients can anticipate initial bruising and swelling during the first few recovery days. Gentle walking is recommended to promote blood circulation and accelerate healing. Dr. Chowdhry provides comprehensive wound care instructions to ensure optimal surgical outcomes.

Combining Procedures

Patients may consider combining thigh lift surgery with complementary procedures like butt lifts or tummy tucks to achieve comprehensive body contouring. During the initial consultation, Dr. Chowdhry develops personalized surgical plans tailored to individual aesthetic goals.

Consultation and Customization

Each thigh lift procedure is uniquely designed to address specific patient needs. Factors such as skin elasticity, body composition, and personal aesthetic objectives are carefully evaluated to ensure optimal results.
