What Is Thigh Liposuction?
Thigh liposuction is a cosmetic surgery to remove fat from the inner or outer thighs for a more contoured and proportionate leg shape. Using a small cannula, a plastic surgeon suctions out fat deposits, slimming the legs while maintaining natural-looking results.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Ideal candidates for thigh liposuction are individuals who:
- Have localized fat pockets that don’t respond to diet and exercise
- Are at or near their ideal body weight
- Have good skin elasticity for smooth results
- Are in overall good health and non-smokers
If you have extensive skin laxity, your surgeon may want to combine liposuction with a thigh lift for optimal tightening.
Inner vs. Outer Thigh Liposuction
- Inner Thighs: Targets stubborn fat that causes leg friction, improving comfort and contour.
- Outer Thighs (Saddlebags): Reduces bulges that affect the silhouette, helping clothes fit more smoothly.
Some patients choose both areas for a more balanced transformation.
Recovery and Results
After the procedure, mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common. Compression garments help minimize swelling and promote healing. Most patients can return to light activities within a few days, fully recovering in about six weeks. Final results become visible as swelling subsides over the following months.
