Thigh Lift in Beverly Hills & Los Angeles

What is a Thigh Lift?
After weight loss, men and women can get sagging and rippling of their thighs that can extend from the upper thighs to the knees. Often, women complain that they are unable to wear swimsuits and that the loose skin rubs together between their thighs. Also the wrinkled loose skin around the knees keeps many women from being able to wear skirts.

While the sagging of the outer thighs and the buttocks can usually be addressed with a Body Lift procedure that of the inner thighs cannot. A Thigh Lift is a procedure which lifts and tightens the loose skin of thighs -- mostly that of the inner thighs.


What is a Traditional Thigh Lift?

Two different types of thigh lifts can be performed depending on the extent of skin laxity. If the skin laxity and rippling is mostly limited to the upper inner thighs, and skin excess does not extend to the entire circumference of the thigh, a Traditional Thigh Lift can be performed. In this procedure the surgical scar is located in the groin crease extending to the buttock crease. This scar is very well hidden.


What is an Extended Thigh Lift?

Often, people who were once extremely obese are now left with extensive laxity of the entire thigh all the way to the knees. In these cases, an Extended Thigh Lift is performed. In addition to the scar of the groin crease, there is also a long vertical scar that extends along the inner thigh height. This vertical scar enables the surgeon to remove the lax excessive skin of the entire thigh.

Can Thigh Lifts be Combined with Liposuction?

Yes. Both Traditional Thigh Lift and Extended Thigh Lift can often be combined with limited Liposuction in order to better contour the legs and to reduce the size of the “saddle bags”.

Liposuction in Beverly Hills & Los Angeles

Three groups of men and women in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills pursue Liposuction for body contouring, in order to achieve their ideal body. Unlike diet and exercise liposuction can spot reduce areas of unwanted fat deposit. This makes Beverly Hills liposuction a more fitting choice than Bariatric Surgery or Gastric Bypass among those who don’t want fat reduction from their entire body.
The first category of liposuction candidates in Los Angeles includes those who wish to reduce their size, such as women who have gained weight due to pregnancy, hormonal fluctuations or medications. This category also includes men and women who undergo Large Volume Liposuction. Contrary to standard Liposuction which only removes about two liters of fat; Large Volume Liposuction, removes more than 5 liters of fat – resulting in a dramatic reduction in size.
The second group of candidates includes those who have disproportionately gained fat in areas such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, knees, buttocks, cheeks and neck. These problem areas are commonly known as "saddlebags," "thunder thighs," "love handles" and "double chins." Often, these stubborn areas of fat have genetic origins, and cannot be reduced by diet and exercise. These groups of patient use liposuction for its sculpturing benefits, in order to form their body into an ideal shape.
The third group is limited to men who suffer from Gynecomastia, excessive breast growth due to the enlargement of breast glands, and excess fatty growth in the chest and breasts.
In all cases, men and women who undergo Liposculpture in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles should have had a stabilized weight for at least six months. Liposuction does not remove stretch marks or cellulite.
These are the areas were people get liposuction in Beverly Hills:
1. Abdominal liposuction.
2. Arm liposuction.
3. Back liposuction.
4. Thigh liposuction.
5. Buttock liposuction.
6. Chest liposuction.

Brazilian Butt Lift in Beverly Hills & Los Angeles

The size and fullness of the buttocks can be enlarged with either natural fat injection /grafting/ transfer or with Buttock Implants. The combined technique of fat transfer and body contouring through liposculpture is otherwise known as the “Brazilian Butt Lift” in Beverly Hills or Los Angeles.
Beverly Hills Brazilian Butt Lift or Buttock Augmentation with fat grafting or injection involves harvesting your own body fat via liposuction from other areas of excess and transferring it into the buttock tissue. For example excess fat in the flanks, hips, lower back, thighs, or abdomen is liposuctioned, processed and then injected into the muscle and soft tissue of your buttocks.

During this fat grafting process the buttocks can be contoured to the desired shape and size. The fullness and projection of the buttocks can be greatly increased by laying many fine layers of micro-fat grafts throughout the thickness of the Gluteal muscle and the subcutaneous tissue. Because some of this fat does reabsorb, fat injection might need to be repeated by your Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon.

Nutritional Herbal Supplements for Plastic surgery in Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeons have always been drawn to the cutting edge technology in order to give their patients the very best. The latest Plastic Surgery advent in Beverly Hills has not been a high tech laser. But rather, just the opposite, Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeons are turning low tech! They are embracing Holistic Medicine- the natural herbs and vitamin supplements that potentially help cosmetic surgery patients heal and recover the fastest. Even the American Society of Plastic Surgery is now educating the public about nutritional supplements that reduce bruising and facilitate healing.
The following are examples of some of the most commonly used nutritional herbal supplements and vitamins that are now commonly being used by plastic and cosmetic surgeons in Beverly Hills.

Arnica Montana

Arnica Montana is a natural herb that minimizes surgical bleeding, bruising, inflammation, muscle pain, and promotes healing. It works well both in an oral form and as a cream, but avoid putting the cream near open wounds and fresh incisions. Taken before plastic surgery, there is less bleeding and swelling afterwards, and taken after cosmetic surgery, pain and bruising are minimized. Because of this property Arnica Montana is used prior to liposuction, tummy tuck, or facial plastic surgery.
Usage: Start 3 days before plastic surgery. Four pills, 3 times a day, under the tongue. Let pills dissolve. Continue for two weeks after Plastic Surgery.


Nux Vomica

Also known as Poison Nut, this alleviates the side-effects of anesthesia and other drugs, helping you to feel more like yourself soon after plastic surgery. It helps with nausea and dysphasia; ad helps detoxify your body from cosmetic surgery. Specialty pharmacies carry the multiplex formulas.
Usage: 4 pills 3 times a day under tongue. Let pills dissolve. Continue for one week after plastic surgery.


Grape Seed Extract (Proanthocyanidins)

This herb is derived from Grape Seed and has a special affinity for skin tissue and promotes healing. It helps shorten the recovery period by reducing inflammation and accelerating the rate of repair to the skin.

Bromezyme™(2400 mcu)

A natural proteolytic enzyme derived from pineapple that has shown to reduce inflammation, consequently decreasing pain, swelling and accelerating the healing process. This nutritional supplements should be taken prior to plastic surgery.
Usage: Start 3 days before surgery. 3 tablets, 3 times a, day on an empty stomach.


Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)

Vitamin C is an antioxidant which helps your natural defenses against free radicals, which are unstable molecules that age the skin, resulting from environmental pollutants, smoking, or excess sun exposure. Vitamin C neutralizes volatile reactions caused by free radicals that damage skin. Preliminary studies suggest vitamin C supplements in non-deficient people can speed healing of various types of wounds and trauma, including surgery, minor injuries, herniated intervertebral disks and skin ulcers.
Vitamin C is also essential for your body’s production of collagen which is used in the building of your skin, bones, teeth, and every organ of your body.
Vitamin C can be found in citrus fruits and juices, cantaloupe, strawberries, kiwi, cabbage, spinach, broccoli, and green peppers.
There are many forms and doses of Vitamin C available in Health Food Stores. Taking any more than about 200 milligrams per day is likely a waste of money anyway, according to a landmark study by Mark Levine of the NIH. Levine's group found that the body's cells can't absorb more than about 100 milligrams per day, and the concentration of vitamin C in the blood begins to level off at a dose of 200 milligrams per day. The study appeared in the April 1996 issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
