Thigh Lift Surgery in Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and Los Angeles

A thigh lift is a surgical procedure that is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the inner thighs. Unlike liposuction, a thigh lift will remove excess skin through a well-hidden incision in the groin crease and restore a more youthful contour to the inner / medial thigh area.  The major limitation for thigh liposuction is the laxity of the skin that may resolve with over-aggressive liposuction.  The thigh lift is thus designed to remove the skin in patients who have lost significant amounts of weight or who have extensive stretch marks and skin laxity. 

Dr. Karamanoukian practices in Los Angeles and is a board certified plastic surgeon.  He performs thigh lift surgery in an accredited ambulatory surgical suite with general anesthesia.  Patients return home the same day of surgery and can resume normal activities as early as several days after the procedure. Thigh lift surgery incorporates several important principles in plastic surgery and can be performed safely and with outstanding results. 

Patients who have undergone massive weight loss or lap band surgery may benefit from a thigh lift procedure as thigh lifts are one of many procedures that encompass bariatric plastic surgery. After undergoing signficant weight loss, patients may have excessive skin and fat in the medial thigh.  During a post-bariatric thigh lift, the skin and fat of the medial thigh is removed and recontoured.
