How Thigh Liposuction Works

Liposuction for the thighs works by the surgeon skillfully removing the fat using specialized techniques. The procedure takes place in the comfort of a state-of-the-art facility. Since fat in the thigh areas has less fibrous tissue, the whole process is generally fast. It’s advisable not to remove large volumes of fat in one go. Thigh liposuction can be performed on all parts of the thigh. Each surgery is customized based on the patient’s wants and needs.

The Recovery

The recovery period is the same as for liposuction on other parts of the body. It can be difficult to gauge recovery time, since each client heals at different rates. However, providers most commonly advise you to keep the legs propped up and wear compression stockings for a set amount of time after the treatment.

In most cases, you can return to normal social activity in just days, and you can resume exercise after multiple weeks. However, you still may need to wear your compression garments while exercising. It all depends on the unique case.

Ideal Candidates

A benefit of getting liposuction on the thighs is this area responds well to treatment. However, it is not intended to be a substitute for a weight loss program. The best candidates for thigh liposuction have stubborn fat on the thighs that won’t go away with diet and exercise. You should also have good skin elasticity so the skin can adapt to the new contour, and you need to be at or very close to your ideal body weight. Our surgeon will determine if you meet the criteria.
