How Effective Is Thigh Liposuction and How Can It Shape The Legs?

Men and women that have successfully dieted and exercised but still have pockets of fat are ideal candidates for liposuction. 

The surgical technique is designed to suction out and dissolve fat from the belly, upper arms, neck, and buttocks.

The legs are also another major area that can be reshaped with liposuction techniques. 

Elite Body Sculpture offers patients the opportunity to slim their inner and outer thighs, creating an upper leg silhouette that is aesthetically pleasing without the use of surgical tools and techniques.

Before we explain Elite Body Sculpture's magic, let's dive into the world of traditional liposuction and how it compares to the latest engineering marvel in the world of cosmetic procedures.

Traditional Thigh Liposuction

Liposuction is often performed under general anesthesia, where the surgeon cuts incisions around the thigh and then inserts a hollow tube to vacuum out the excess and unwanted fat.

It's important to note that liposuction is not a weight-loss treatment and is optimal for patients within 15 to 20% of their normal body weight.

You can be the right candidate for traditional liposuction if you live a generally healthy lifestyle by consuming a healthy diet and being physically active.

If you are a smoker, you should stop the habit weeks before and after your surgery since it can significantly decrease the rate you heal and interrupt the formation of your desired results.

Slimmer Legs via Traditional Liposuction

Thick thighs are commonly treated with liposuction by removing fat from the inner and outer areas of the thighs. Liposuction is an effective method due to its properties for removing fat above the knees and lower legs.

It helps you remove the tree-trunk look and acquire a curvier, more aesthetic taper that narrows down to your ankles.

Yet, understand that your genetics affect the musculature that you have. Suppose you're genetically inclined to have large lower leg muscles. In that case, liposuction may not be able to provide you with the desired results, given that it is solely a fat removal treatment.

 

A Better Procedure For Sculpting the Thighs

While there's no question about how effective traditional thigh liposuction can be, there's a better solution out there compared with these conventional methods. Liposuction can get the job done when it comes to removing fat, but the precision with which it does so, and the levels of invasiveness required, all leave more to be desired.

With the precision-engineered Outer Thigh AirSculpt® procedure, patients can have fat removed from their thighs without stitches, needles, scalpels, or general anesthesia for a safer and more comfortable experience.

This patented procedure trumps traditional outer thigh liposuction due to omitting the surgical risks while maintaining its ability to sculpt outstanding results. Patients lose stubborn 'saddlebag fat' instantly, all while dealing with only minimal bruising that subsides in days as opposed to months.
