How Thigh Liposuction Works

Thigh liposuction, also known as liposculpture, aims to contour one’s lower body by removing fatty tissue from the inner thighs, outer thighs, front of the thighs, back of the thighs, or any combination of those areas.

By streamlining the profile of your thighs, it can help create a smoother and more balanced appearance. The targeted fat reduction occurs through small incisions placed inconspicuously in natural skin folds.

From there, a thin tube called a cannula is used to gently loosen and extract fat cells. By utilizing specialized techniques, Dr. Smith can customize treatment to address your specific areas of concern.

Whether you have excess fullness in the inner leg region or a desire to minimize ​outer thigh fullness (sometimes called “saddlebags”), thigh liposuction from Dr. Smith can leave you feeling empowered in your own skin once more.

Post-Procedure Care and Recovery for Thigh Lipo

After undergoing thigh liposuction, focusing on recovery is important for achieving the best long-term results.

It’s fairly common to experience temporary effects like bruising, soreness, and swelling around the treatment areas. These will gradually fade as healing progresses. To expedite this process, following your doctor’s guidance is key.

Proper compression garments are a main priority. Whether fitted bodysuits or leggings, these specialized postoperative wear provides light support.

By containing fluids and minimizing tissue motion as you get back to your routine, you’ll decrease discomfort while allowing natural tissue adjustment. We advise our patients to make sure their garments are loosened if feeling tightness or numbness – these should feel comfortable tight.

Most people should anticipate returning to a light workout in about 2 days and a full workout in approximately 2 weeks. Listen to your body and rest as needed. Overdoing activities too soon could prolong swelling, so patience is your friend here. Walking is highly recommended for blood flow, but jogging may still be uncomfortable for a couple weeks. Begin low-impact routines as tolerated after several days to get back into the swing of things.

As for outcomes, early results are visible at approximately 1 month while final results are generally noticeable in approximately 3 months. We will follow you closely during your recovery with regularly scheduled follow-up appointments. Following a balanced diet and lifestyle will maintain results for years of enhanced confidence.
