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
The entire staff here was so amazing, I cannot recommend them enough! I had top surgery with Dr. Iteld and he, and the entire staff, were extremely welcoming, kind, and so supportive every step of the way. They are extremely affirming and take the time to make sure you have all your questions answered and feel comfortable. I had never had any surgery before and everyone at this location made me feel so at ease. And my results are AMAZING! I am so grateful to Dr. Iteld and his entire team for going above and beyond to help me through this process and for giving me a chest that I love! I truly cannot thank everyone enough for what they have given me.
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!
I received top surgery from Dr. Iteld 2 months ago, and I couldn’t be happier with my results. I’m trans and non-binary, and I not only felt respected as a patient, but also seen and understood as a person receiving gender affirming care. I feel safe with him and his team, and everyone has been incredible throughout this entire journey. They changed my life.
Dr Iteld and his team are wonderful. Everyone was helpful, knowledgeable and caring. My surgery was explained to me in detail so I knew what to expect and the steps I needed in the preparation for the surgery were clear. After surgery I had NO PAIN...it was wonderful. Highly recommend this group!!!
