Thigh Lift Surgery in Los Angeles<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Do your thighs jiggle even when your body is at rest? That\u2019s a sure sign that you have excess fat and skin on your upper thigh region. This is a common problem that occurs in both men and women. The reason for the loose skin is often a loss of elasticity, which can happen due to age, bad habits, genetics, pregnancy, and extreme weight loss.<\/p>\n\t\n

\n\t\t\tWhat Is a Thigh Lift & How Can it Help You?\t<\/h2>\n\t

A thigh lift, also known as a Thighplasty, is a body contouring procedure performed to remove flab and excess skin from the upper portions of the legs. This procedure effectively lifts and reshapes the thighs to make your legs more toned.<\/p>\n

This procedure can be performed alone or as a complement to other cosmetic surgery procedures. One procedure that is often combined with Thighplasty is liposuction. When you have too much fat on your upper thighs, liposuction<\/a> can extract that fat for an improved leg contour. When combined with the thigh lift, the excess skin will be removed from your thighs before reattaching the remaining tissue. The result is a slimmer lower profile without all the jiggle.<\/p>\n

What Effects Does a Thigh Lift Offer?<\/h2>\n

This surgical procedure aims to make your legs look proportional to your silhouette. Most people undergo a thigh lift procedure<\/a><\/strong> to reshape their thighs after losing weight. Thigh lifts, such as post-bariatric body contouring<\/a> skin, can be performed after weight loss surgery. You\u2019ll fit much better in your skin, which can improve your body image and self-esteem.<\/p>\n

Am I a Good Candidate for a Thigh Lift?<\/h2>\n

You might be able to grab a handful of meat on your upper thighs, but that doesn\u2019t automatically qualify you for a thigh lift procedure. The best candidates for this procedure are at a relatively stable weight. That means you don\u2019t plan to have children in the future, and you\u2019ve managed to maintain your weight for at least six months. Losing or adding weight to your frame can skew your surgery results, so your cosmetic surgeon<\/a><\/strong> wants your weight to be stable before scheduling surgery.<\/p>\n

Other factors that mark you as a good candidate for this procedure include being in good health and having realistic expectations.<\/p>\nTo determine if this procedure is correct, consult a qualified cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Babak Moein of Moein Surgical Arts<\/a>. Dr. Moein can perform a comprehensive examination to assess your health and upper thigh problems.
\nWe encourage you to discuss your concerns and aesthetic ideals with Dr. Moein. Dr. Moein will create a customized treatment plan for you based on his expertise and the\u00a0cosmetic surgery results<\/a>\u00a0you have in mind.\n

Types of Thigh Lifts Procedures<\/h2>\n

The thigh lift can describe several procedures designed to provide a different result.<\/p>\nInner Thigh Lift\n

The inner or medial thigh lift is the most common form of this cosmetic surgery of the upper legs. It aims to address sagging skin that hangs on the inner thighs. An incision is made from your groin area down to your knee or toward the back of your thighs.<\/p>\nMini Thigh Lift\n

Depending on your aesthetic goals, your surgeon may prescribe a minor thigh lift, which requires fewer incisions than the inner thigh lift. The mini Thighplasty is ideal if your problem is isolated to the upper inner thigh.<\/p>\nOuter Thigh Lift\n

The outer or bilateral thigh lift is meant to address the outer parts of the thighs. The surgery involves a single incision that starts in the groin area. The cut extends to your hip or lower back, giving you firmer outer thighs.<\/p>\nVertical Thigh Lift\n

This cosmetic thigh surgery removes excess skin from all around your thighs. The incision begins at your groin and extends down to your knees. This surgery has a higher risk of complications, which you should discuss with your cosmetic surgeon.<\/p>\n

Thigh Lift with Liposuction<\/h2>\n

The thigh area may have reduced skin elasticity. If this is the case, liposuction alongside a thigh lift can help remove the extra fat and skin, leaving your thighs tight and youthful. You might also want to ask about HD-Lipo<\/a>\u00a0and other advanced procedures that can improve the skin tone on your upper legs even more.<\/p>\n

How is a Surgical Thigh Lift Performed?<\/h2>\n

A thigh lift is performed as an outpatient procedure at Moein Surgical Arts<\/a>. You will first be placed under general anesthesia in preparation for the procedure. Dr. Moein will begin the procedure by creating an incision to remove the unwanted skin. The surgeon may use liposuction to extract the fatty tissue around the thighs at this stage. The remaining skin is then reattached to reveal a thinner, firmer thigh area.<\/p>\n

Did You Know There is a Scarless Thigh Lift?<\/h2>\n

Renuvion<\/a> is a relatively new cosmetic procedure that uses J-Plasma<\/a><\/strong> technology. A cold helium laser will treat the thigh area to leave your thighs tight and toned without surgery. The process involves minimally invasive techniques, which means this is a relatively scarless thigh lift procedure and offers little to no downtime.<\/p>\n

What is Recovery Like After the Surgical Thigh Lift?<\/h2>\n

After the surgical procedure, you may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the legs. All symptoms should resolve within a month of surgery. Your cosmetic surgeon will recommend wearing a compression garment to reduce swelling. A drain may be placed under the skin to remove excess fluids following the plastic surgery. Dr. Moein will schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your healing and answer any questions you may have.<\/p>\n

How Much Does This Cosmetic Surgery Cost?<\/h2>\n

The average cost of a thigh lift is $5,171. Remember that this figure only accounts for the surgical fee and doesn\u2019t include expenses associated with anesthesia, the surgical center, medications, and other costs. The overall cost of this procedure could be $11,500 to $18,000 or higher. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Moein for an accurate thigh lift surgery quote and discuss financing options.<\/p>\n

Will Insurance Pay for a Thigh Lift?<\/h2>\n

Insurance could pick up the tab for your thigh lift surgery<\/a><\/strong>. You would have to meet specific requirements before you could file a claim. Examples of situations where insurance may pay for this procedure include:<\/p>\n
