Is There a Surgery That Can Help Reduce My Thigh Fat?

The legs, specifically the upper thighs, are frustrating areas for women when they become surrounded by fat. Even if one begins experimenting with a healthy diet and exercise plan, thigh fat can be unreactive to your efforts.

This frustration causes women to look for different solutions to get rid of their thigh fat. Luckily, several cosmetic procedures can target unwanted fat, loose skin, and dimpling of the upper thigh.

If you're wondering whether there is a surgery to make your thighs smaller, we've developed this guide for you to better understand what solutions are out there for you to get slimmer legs.

Leg Liposuction

Liposuction surgically removes fat pockets resistant to diet and exercise, providing you with slimmer thigh contours.

The procedure consists of a multiple-step process in which a few incisions are formed on the treatment site; a solution is injected into the opening to loosen the fat and reduce bleeding. Then a cannula is used to vacuum out the excess fat.

Thigh Lift Surgery

Women who lose weight or undergo liposuction on the thighs are left with loose skin. While liposuction is a procedure that's best for fat removal, it doesn't treat loose skin.

A thigh lift surgery can remove lax skin from the upper thigh by trimming away excess tissue surrounding the inner thigh. The thigh lift scar heals well and is not visible when standing or sitting naturally.

Combining thigh lift surgery and liposuction is an excellent combination of procedures, given that they allow for proper slimming and sculpting.

Candidates For These Procedures

These procedures are designed to slim and tone the thighs, but none of them should be considered weight-loss alternatives.

Most candidates to undergo these procedures have to be physically healthy, within their stable weight, non-smokers, and ready with realistic expectations.

A New Outlook On Thigh Fat Reduction

Patients are interested in pursuing these cosmetic procedures but are usually stopped by the fact that these use fully surgical techniques.

While surgery has evolved, they're never risk-free, and the thought of making an investment that doesn't work well is something that anyone would like to avoid.

That's why those interested in fat removal are now resorting to minimally invasive fat removal procedures such as those provided by Elite Body Sculpture for just as great results, but without the long downtimes or potential complications.
