Reshape your Upper Thighs
A thigh lift is a surgical procedure that removes the excess skin and fat from the thigh.
Patients will often undergo a thigh lift when they have lost a significant amount of weight. The loss of skin elasticity is magnified after significant weight loss. Most surgical techniques focus on excision of excess skin and tightening what remains.

Your Thigh Lift Procedure
A thigh lift will elevate and remove lax excess skin and fat of the anterior and medial thigh. This surgical procedure is done in an ambulatory surgical center under general anesthesia. The procedure usually requires 2-3 hours to complete. Incisions are placed in the natural crease between the thigh and pubic area. In patients with massive weight loss, a vertical incision down the inside part of the thigh may be required. Drains may be used depending on the specific procedure.
"Have had a wonderful experience from the first appointment all the way through from the office staff to Dr. Izquierdo. I feel wonderful and love my new look!"
