Would you like to enhance the appearance of your thighs? A thigh lift in Chicago promotes a firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking appearance for both the outer and inner thighs. The result is a sleeker, more proportionate look throughout the upper thighs and buttocks. During your consultation with Dr. Irvin Wiesman, you’ll be invited to explore the possibilities afforded by thigh lifts in our Chicago, IL cosmetic surgery office as well as any additional cosmetic procedures that may benefit you.
The thigh lift procedure effectively reduces the appearance of sagging, bulging thigh tissue via the removal and contouring of excess skin and fatty deposits along the outside and inside of the thighs. There are several different techniques and incision patterns that may utilized in a thigh lift procedure. During your consultation, Dr. Wiesman will be able to tell you some specific details of how he plans to carry out your surgery.
A thigh lift is usually performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia. Although you may notice results immediately, the best results usually appear after a healing period of a few months. The procedure may leave some scarring, but it will probably be in an area that is easy to conceal with clothing.

You may be a candidate for a thigh lift if:
Many people believe that cellulite is fat, but that is not the case. Rather, cellulite is a skin condition that occurs when fibrous bands pull on the skin, causing a dimpled appearance. An estimated 90% of women have cellulite, which commonly affects the thighs and buttocks.
A thigh lift is designed to target fat and remove extra skin, so it is not focused on reducing the appearance of cellulite. However, many patients note that their skin appears smoother after their procedure and their cellulite is less noticeable.
If cellulite is one of your primary concerns, Dr. Wiesman might recommend that you take advantage of a treatment known as Renuvion (J-Plasma). It is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a pickle fork and helium-based plasma. Its results can complement your thigh lift and significantly reduce the appearance of cellulite.
