About Thigh Liposuction
Liposuction treatments for the thighs are minimally invasive procedures that target and remove fat. Working out and eating healthily are vital for achieving your body goals, but even with these practices in place, areas of the body such as your thighs can be difficult to sculpt.
Aside from the abdomen, the thighs are the most common sites for liposuction treatments. Thighs, especially in women, are one of the body’s main fat storage centers, and despite weight loss, dieting, exercise, and more, many individuals will still feel embarrassed with the appearance of their thighs.
Thighs are also prone to irregularities like cellulite. (1) The root causes of cellulite are not fully understood, but it is more common in women and rarely ever seen in men. It is believed to be caused by a detachment of fibrous skin membranes due to a buildup of fat. However, having cellulite is not an indication of obesity or any other health issues. Poor skin tone and waviness in the skin structure can also be treated with liposuction methods.
Liposuction is a tool that can artfully sculpt the body to enhance a patient’s confidence, self-esteem, and silhouette, but it is not a weight-loss procedure. Candidates for thigh liposuction should therefore be in overall good health and close to their ideal weight to receive treatment.
Benefits
The main benefit of thigh liposuction is slimmer, toned thighs, but our patients experience dozens of other benefits, including:
- Enhanced body contours: Both men and women can sculpt their thighs to accentuate their bodies’ natural contours and enjoy a toned, tight physique.
- Improved self-image: Treating your thighs with liposuction will help you get closer to your ideal body image, and you will want to show off your legs once you see your results.
- Increased comfort in clothing: Many patients with larger thighs struggle to find clothing that comfortably fits them. Reducing the mass of your thighs will make this process much easier, and you will no longer suffer from discomfort in the clothes you want to wear.
- Long-lasting results: Once removed, the fat cells are gone for good. However, it is important to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle to prevent any remaining fat cell repopulation.
- Minimal scarring: Liposuction of the thighs only requires a few very small incisions. Once healed, these will fade and be only barely visible if not completely disappear.
- Quick recovery: Recovery from liposuction only takes a few weeks.
- Diminish irregularities: Cellulite, dimples, and other irregular skin features can be improved with liposuction treatments.
- Customization and complementary procedures: You can elect to treat other parts of your body at the same time as your thigh liposuction. Your treatment plan can be customized to meet your ideal body image goals.
Candidates
If you are self-conscious about your thighs and dislike the way they appear, you may be an ideal candidate for thigh liposuction. Liposuction is ideal for adults who are in good overall health and struggle to reach their body goals exclusively through dieting and exercise. Patients must be at or near their goal weight when receiving a liposuction treatment. Liposuction is not an alternative for weight loss, and should not be considered a weight-loss procedure.
Personal Consultation
You will have the opportunity to share your aesthetic goals at a personal consultation. We will listen attentively, take down information about your medical history, and examine your thighs. You will be asked about any past procedures, drug allergies, current medication routine, and general health. This information will help us understand if a liposuction procedure is right for you.
The details of your procedure will be determined and a date chosen for your liposuction procedure. We encourage our patients to ask questions about the details of their procedure and healing process. Our goal is to provide as much information as possible to our patients and keep them comfortable and excited about their upcoming procedure.
Preparation
You will receive preparatory instructions after your consultation. Patients should avoid blood thinning medications and supplements as advised and stop the use of nicotine products, if applicable. We suggest you coordinate rides and prepare an area at home for your rest. VASER liposuction provides a quick downtime and you should be able to return to work within a few days. Be sure to pick up necessary items before your surgery, such as medications. On the morning of your appointment, we suggest you wear loose-fitting clothes that are comfortable and will not apply pressure to your treatment area.
Procedure
VASER uses one-, two-, three-, or five-ring ultrasound probes and is considered the gold-standard in liposuction. The ultrasound probe is inserted into small incisions and emits ultrasonic waves to dislodge fat cells and emulsify them for easy removal.
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction technologies like VASER help to reduce trauma to surrounding tissue, blood vessels, and muscles. (2) This form of liposuction penetrates deep into the dermis, allowing for the restructuring of the upper and deeper layers of the skin. This will improve the structure of your skin and provide taut results. Ultrasound treatments are known to provide a “shrink wrapping” effect on the skin. VASER provides these with precision and consistency.
Recovery
Your thighs will be swollen, bruised, and sensitive after the surgery. Prescribed medications are available to help you manage any discomfort. You will need to keep your buttocks and upper thighs elevated for the first couple of days to help relieve swelling. Follow-up appointments will keep you healthy and aware of when to return to regular activities. Patients are typically free from discomfort after 5-7 days and see reduced swelling after 10 days.
Results
You will immediately notice an improvement in your thighs. As swelling and bruising decrease, your results will continue to improve. Your final results will be noticeable about three months after the procedure. These results are long-lasting and, with a healthy lifestyle, will last for years!
Corresponding & Complementary Procedures
Liposuction can reduce fat deposits in the abdomen, back, calves, love handles, hips, and more. It is common to perform liposuction on more than one area of the body in a single procedure. For instance, you can contour your thighs while also improving the definition of your abdomen. Liposuction can be performed all over the body and up to 3 places can be treated in one appointment.
Men also commonly receive liposuction treatments. The ABS Institute commonly performs arm liposuction to enhance biceps, chin lipo to restore a strong, defined jawline, and abdominal liposuction to enhance the natural six-pack. Whatever your concern, liposuction can likely reduce it. In your personal consultation, be sure to discuss your options for receiving liposuction in other problem areas.
