Thigh Lift in Los Alamitos
Achieving significant weight loss is an impressive accomplishment — and for many, it marks the beginning of a new, more confident chapter. Yet for some, reaching their ideal weight is only part of the journey. Depending on how much weight was lost and how long it was carried, excess skin can remain as an additional challenge.
In many cases, the skin is unable to naturally adapt to a smaller body shape, leaving behind loose or sagging areas that may feel at odds with your hard-earned results. For many individuals, the thighs can be a particular area of concern.
At Ocean Plastic Surgery Center in Los Alamitos, CA, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Raman Mehrzad specializes in surgical thigh lift procedures, also known as thighplasty. This procedure removes excess skin from the inner or outer thighs, creating a smoother, firmer, and more contoured appearance.
Thigh lift surgery has grown in popularity in recent years, offering natural-looking results for those who want to eliminate loose skin and enjoy the full benefits of their weight loss transformation.

Ideal candidates for thigh lift
A thigh lift is a skin tightening and removal treatment that improves the appearance of excess skin. Thighplasty is typically a post weight loss treatment. Thigh lift surgery is commonly used on people who have lost 100 or more pounds. It’s also helpful for older people who are concerned about excess skin caused by natural aging, as well as women whose body shape changed from pregnancy and childbirth. If you have hanging, loose, or wrinkly skin on your upper thighs (whether it’s the outer or inner thighs or both), thigh lift surgery can be a good option. Please remember that if cellulite is the bigger problem, Dr. Aiello can recommend different treatments that are designed to help decrease the look of cellulite.
What to expect from a thigh lift
Thigh lift surgery takes an average of 2 – 3 hours to perform. After the procedure is done, you will be monitored and assessed before you are allowed to go home to begin your recovery. There is typically swelling, discomfort, and bruising during the first few days of recovery. In several days, many patients are able to get up and slowly walk, which is recommended for improved blood circulation and speedier healing. The full recovery time usually lasts around 6 – 8 weeks. Dr. Mehrzad will give you wound-care instructions to help your surgical incisions heal well. Although patients will have some scarring, the improved contour and shape of your legs can help raise your self-esteem, and you can show off your thighs with pride.
