Thigh Lift in Chicago, IL
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 had a breast augmentation with Dr. Iteld and I absolutely love my results. He and his team were so kind, professional, thorough, and informative. I was a little nervous of course about surgery, but they made me feel very comfortable and confident in my decision. Recovery with no narcotics was so easy. I was surprised at how good I felt after surgery. Everything healed up perfectly and I’m so happy I went with him. I’d highly recommend him!
I had top-surgery done by Dr. Iteld and could not be happier with the results! He is a rockstar. I had a double incision with free nipple grafts and everything has healed so well. Dr. Iteld and the professionals working with him were extremely helpful, supportive, and kind throughout this entire process. They are quick to respond to questions and concerns, and genuinely care about what you are looking to get out of their services. I felt listened to and cared for while in their hands. Could not recommend Dr. Iteld enough!
i had a great experience with Dr. Iteld and his office! Everyone was kind and helpful, my experience was smooth and as easy as i can imagine a surgery being! Thank you!
275cc, mods, overs, 35 y/o, 125lbs, 5'5, 2 kids, 32A - A long time coming, the goal being to look proportionate and go from an A to a small C at the most. It’s more so about the look than the final cup size though! I have forever desired boobs, since I was a teenager! Just never happened for me. Dr. Iteld’s team was great and patient with me. I was eternally toying between 250, 275, 295 cc (with the understanding that what they put into your bod is roughly 25 cc more than the sizer you select). Ended up with a 275 cc implant, moderate profile, Allergan brand gel. The recovery has been crazy smooth. I feel great, out walking around but being very careful. I went out to dinner the night after the surgery, guys! Just be smart. Don’t overdo it. No one wants to end up back in the OR. CANNOT wait to see how these drop and look long term!Updated on 4 Mar 2024:Crazy to already notice a difference from day 1 to day 4 post op! I think these will be EXACTLY what I was looking for once they settle. Wish I could hit fast forward for a month. Still no pain. If anything this dang bra is the itchy and annoying part. Just by the straps due to the fabric weaving. I’m being VERY careful with my 2 and 4 year old. Definitely a challenge so make sure you have help constantly. Just remember it’s temporary!Updated on 7 Mar 2024:Day 7! My check-up is tomorrow! My left boob is a bit more swollen than the right, you can tell even the nipple is still puffy and a hair larger, while the right is responsive to the cold in this photo and not swollen. Super normal, not worried about it. You can see from the side photo that the “upper pole” of the breast looks a little less poofy as well as on the sides. Slow n steady!I can’t feel my nipples and the immediate area around, but each day I slowly get more feeling. Apparently this can take a few weeks. Overall still very happy with them and the healing process. Zero pain! Ready to get rid of this granny bra!
