The common liposuction treatment areas for thigh liposuction:

Inner Thighs

It’s an excellent option for those with inner thigh fat who experience discomfort due to the constant rubbing of the inner thighs or patients that want to achieve an inner thighs gap.

Outer Thighs

Also referred to as ‘saddlebags,’ the outer thighs can hold stubborn fat deposits. Liposuction in this area is commonly performed to reduce the width of the lower body, enhancing the overall body proportions.

Anterior Thighs

The front part of the thighs, also known as the anterior thighs, can be sculpted with liposuction to create a more toned appearance, making the legs appear larger or less muscular.

Posterior Thighs and Buttocks Crease

The back of the thighs and the crease where the thighs meet the buttocks often accumulate excess fat. Liposuction in this area can enhance the contour of the thighs and buttocks, creating a more balanced and attractive silhouette.

Who is an Ideal Candidate for Thigh Liposuction?

Outer and inner thigh liposuction, while an effective procedure for body contouring, is not a suitable option for everyone. Understanding the criteria for a good candidate is crucial in determining whether this procedure could be beneficial.

Ideal candidates for thigh liposuction should exhibit good overall health, being free from major health conditions that might increase surgical risks. It’s also important for candidates to possess realistic expectations, acknowledging that the procedure is meant for contouring and shaping rather than substantial weight loss or cellulite treatment. Non-smokers, or those willing to quit smoking significantly before and during recovery, make for ideal candidates to minimize complications and promote healing.

The Thigh Liposuction Procedure xpress Lipo

Liposuction on thighs at Exert BodySculpt means Xpress Liposuction. Xpress Lipo combines minimally invasive liposuction and Renuvion Skin Tightening. It aimed at removing excess fat deposits and tightening the skin in the thighs. Here is a step-by-step explanation of the thigh lipo procedure:

Pronox to relax

The Pro-Nox system provides fast-acting pain relief through inhaled oxygen and nitrous oxide. Patients remain awake and alert while managing their pain tolerance.

Anesthesia

Local anesthesia using the tumescent fluid is administered to numb the targeted area, reducing bleeding and swelling. The tumescent fluid is injected via small incisions allowing the patient to not feeling anything during the lipo.

Incision Placement

Dr. Giselle strategically makes small incisions, less than half an inch long, in inconspicuous thigh areas, allowing for specialized cannulas.

Power-Assisted Liposuction

She uses a specialized cannula and vacuum-assisted suction to detach fat cells and remove excess fat tissue precisely.

Renuvion Skin Tightening

Dr. Giselle incorporates the Renuvion Skin Tightening treatment, utilizing helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to tighten loose skin. The Renuvion energy promotes tissue contraction by heating collagen.

Sculpting and Contouring

Dr. Giselle skillfully sculpts and contours the thighs, focusing on areas like the inner and outer thighs to achieve balanced and proportionate results.

Aftercare and Recovery from Thigh Liposuction

After undergoing thigh liposuction, it is normal to experience mild discomfort, bruising, and swelling in the treated areas. These normal reactions should gradually subside over the next few days.

Dr. Giselle may provide a compression garment that should be worn as instructed to support the healing process and reduce swelling. Pain management can be addressed with prescribed medications or over-the-counter pain relievers, as advised by Dr. Giselle.

Recovery is minimal as the patients will be able to go back homes and can return to their normal routine in two to three days. Recovery timelines vary, with light activities typically resumable within a week and heavy exercise within 4-6 weeks. While swelling may gradually diminishes over weeks, the final results of thigh liposuction may take several months to emerge as the body heals fully.

Thigh Liposuction Cost

The average thigh liposuction cost is estimated at $5,00 to $10,000. Therefore, the cost can be expected to be higher for thigh liposuction procedures which typically involve at least two distinct regions: the inner and outer thighs.

Benefits of Thigh Liposuction

Thigh liposuction is a popular procedure with several key benefits that go beyond mere cosmetic improvements:

Improved Leg Contour

Thigh liposuction enhances leg contours by removing stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. This procedure refines thigh shape, resulting in smoother, leaner legs.

Enhanced Body Proportions

Liposuction targets specific areas of the thighs, creating better harmony and balance in body proportions. Volume adjustments align with body structure, height, and aesthetic goals, improving symmetry and proportionality.

Boost in Self-Confidence

Thigh liposuction enhances physical appearance, leading to increased self-confidence. Patients feel more comfortable in clothing and experience a positive shift in body image, positively impacting their personal and social life.

Reduced Discomfort

As inner thighs touch due to excess thigh fat can cause discomfort and skin irritation, especially during physical activities. Thigh liposuction reduces fat volume, alleviating chafing and discomfort, allowing for more comfortable movement and a more comprehensive range of clothing choices.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the difference between inner thighs liposuction and outer thighs liposuction?

Inner thighs liposuction targets fat cells in the inner thigh area for comfort and aesthetics, while outer thighs liposuction focuses on “saddlebags” to enhance body silhouette and balance.

Can I expect permanent results from upper thigh liposuction?

The upper thigh liposuction can provide long-lasting results. However, maintaining a stable weight and following a healthy lifestyle is essential for preserving the outcome. Significant weight fluctuations can impact long-term outcomes. Sustaining a regular exercise routine and a healthy diet can maximize the longevity of the results.

How does lipo surgery affect the skin's elasticity in the inner thighs?

Liposuction does not improve skin elasticity; if skin elasticity is poor, it could lead to sagging skin post-procedure, but treatments like Renuvion can aid skin firmness.

Can liposuction on the inner thighs help to create a thigh gap?

Yes, liposuction on the inner thighs can help create a thigh gap by reducing excess fat. It’s crucial to note that the presence of a thigh gap is influenced by individual factors such as body composition and natural anatomy.
