What Is A Thigh Lift?
Weight loss is a momentous achievement for anyone. Unfortunately, many individuals lose weight only to end up with loose, drooping skin instead of the taut figure they desire. The thighs are especially an area of concern for many patients. For those men and women, Dr. Lawrence Iteld and the team at Iteld Plastic Surgery offer surgical thigh lifts (also known as thighplasty) to remove excess skin around the outer or inner thighs for a firmer, contoured look. If you're struggling with loose, sagging skin after weight loss, reach out to our office in Chicago, IL to learn how thighplasty can help you finish your transformation and finally reach your goals.
How Does Thigh Lift Surgery Work?
As with all cosmetic surgeries, thighplasty at Iteld Plastic Surgery is performed using non-narcotic medications for your comfort and safety. A surgical incision is placed around the top of the thigh in the natural crease where the thigh and torso meet. This incision often continues down to the midsection of the thigh. This allows enough space to use surgical liposuction (if wanted) to remove stubborn pockets of fat, as well as to trim the loose skin at the top of the thigh area. The skin will be pulled upward so it is tight and secured with sutures. In specific cases, an incision may be necessary in the outer thigh area or underneath the buttocks, based on the amount of tissue being removed. The goal of thigh lift surgery is to reshape the entire thigh area, leaving a shapelier, tighter, more contoured appearance.

Iteld Plastic Surgery Reviews
Wonderful team - could not be happier with the results - I had a great experience. Dr. Iteld and his team treated me with respect, were compassionate towards my concerns, and were very thorough in their explanations of what to expect and the step by step process for preparing and recovering from surgery. Staff offered after hours support for any concerns that may have arisen post surgery (thankfully I’ve had none) and treated me very well. I could not be happier with the results of my surgery and the care provided by Dr. Iteld and his team. Dr. Iteld and his team were very inclusive towards the lgbtq+ community, always using my preferred name and pronouns and has performed many of these surgeries. Queer folks looking for gender affirming surgery are in good hands here.
I recently underwent a breast reduction surgery, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Dr. Itedl, Kimmy, and the receptionist Ashley were incredibly professional, guiding me through every step and addressing all of my concerns. The surgery itself went smoothly, and the recovery process was much easier than I anticipated. I’m 5’3 and 120lbs with an original cup size of a G. Dr. Itedl nailed the shape and areola size of my breast to match perfectly to my frame. One of the biggest benefits has been the relief from upper back, neck, and lower back pain, which was the main reason I opted for the procedure. The results look so natural, and the scars are already starting to fade. If you’re considering breast reduction surgery, I highly recommend it. It has been truly life-changing for me. The outcome has been everything I hoped for and more!
Kimmy is a phenomenal injector and is extremely knowledgeable about PRF/EZ Gel, energy based treatments, scarring, and her insight and education about facial anatomy, the aging process, and treating general cosmetic concerns for various ethnic skin types is extensive and surpasses any other injector I’ve encountered before. She is warm, patient, very empathetic, and I always feel fully heard and cared for during my appointments. She is so friendly, dedicated and passionate about what she does, and she truly shines in her role. Iteld Plastic Surgery (and her patients) are so lucky to have her! She’s a true gem! Keep up the good work!
I have made an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Iteld. First, as most should know, liposuction is NOT for weight loss, but "body conturing", though after a procedure, "minimal" weight loss may occur. Secondly, it is important that good research should be done BEFORE considering this procedure. DO NOT SETTLE for just anyone. Dr. Iteld is a highly accredited plastic surgeon. Even before making my appointment, I was extremely impressed by the patient, kind, informative and professional attention from one of his staff members. Rarely does one find such people these days. So, whether I am a candidate for this procedure or not, and especially as a retired medical professional, myself, I can honestly say, I KNOW I chose the right professional and staff, who are in a beautiful setting with plenty of parking. Good luck to all who are interested in an appropriate surgeon and procedure !
I had an incredible experience at Iteld Plastic Surgery, thanks to Kimmy! She took so much time with me, ensuring that I felt comfortable and understood every step of the process. Her attention to detail is unmatched—she’s meticulous and thorough, making me feel confident and ready for my wedding day. On top of that, Kimmy is soooo sweet and a pleasure to be around! I can’t recommend her and the office enough!
