What is Thigh Liposuction

Thigh liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that permanently removes fat from the thighs to enhance the figure. 

Saddlebags, inner thighs, outer thighs, and knees are targeted in thigh liposuction. 

Liposuction changes the body’s overall shape and enhances the thighs’ appearance, making them look slimmer and toned. 

It adds contour and definition to the thighs and buttocks. 

The thigh liposuction procedure begins with a one-on-one consultation with the surgeon about whether the surgery is needed or not. 

This is a very important step, and the procedure is explained to the patient in detail. 

The surgeon will highlight the areas from where the fat could be removed and give you an idea of how your legs will look after the procedure. 

This process can be done through different steps:

1. Firstly, general anesthesia is given to the patient

2. Then is the insertion of the cannula through a tiny incision made by the surgeon in the patient’s thighs, and the cannula breaks the fats into smaller portions

3. The cannula is associated with a vacuum, which sucks out the fats in small amounts

4. Sometimes, ultrasounds or lasers are used to break the fats before their suction

5. After the removal of fat, the patient’s skin will shrink and match with the new thigh contour

Why Can’t You Lose Thigh Fat Even with Dieting?

Losing fat from the thigh is challenging. The thigh contains stubborn fats, including alpha-2 receptor, subcutaneous, and intramuscular fats, which are hard to remove even if one follows a certain diet. 

Diet alone is not enough to reduce fat from the thighs, and fat loss tends to happen throughout the body.

This can affect the person’s self-esteem and how they perceive themselves. They may feel discouraged by wearing short dresses as they cannot flaunt their slim thighs, leading to a lack of confidence.

Risks of Thigh Liposuction

As thigh liposuction surgery has multiple benefits, it also has some risks, including the possibilities of:

• – Skin issues: Having bumpy, uneven, and pigmented skin.
• – Blood clotting: Bleeding can be caused under the skin after surgery.
• – Infection: Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes are the most common bacteria that are responsible for post-liposuction surgery infection.
• – Allergic reaction: Some patients may be allergic to the fluids used in the surgery.

Why Liposuction May Fail

Liposuction is one successful procedure of removing fatty tissues from the thigh if you choose the right surgeon and clinic. 

However, if the surgery is not done properly, it may result in a few unfavorable outcomes, such as unevenness on the skin surface or scarring.

Excessive fat removal: 

Removal of excessive fats can result in uneven and bumpy skin which results in second surgery. 

You may need to have multiple second surgeries if the liposuction technique is not sufficient.

Scarring after surgery: 

Sometimes, if the surgery is not successful, the procedure may leave scars on various parts of the body, such as knees, thighs, and buttocks, which makes it uneasy and difficult to wear skirts and short dresses, causing high distress among patients. 

If a surgeon is not experienced or attentive to scarring and performs liposuction, the incisions may be placed in incorrect places which can result in prominent scars. 

If a surgeon is professional, he will make incisions on the right area where scars are unnoticeable with fewer side effects.

Avoiding Thigh Liposuction Failure

Choosing a professionally skilled surgeon is essential to avoid the side effects of thigh liposuction failure. 

If the surgeon is skilled, he will perform surgery to remove fats and minimize the appearance of scars. 

So it is important to check the background history of your surgeon.

Another important thing to consider is selecting a specialized clinic, which can assure you that you are choosing specialized and trained surgeons, which means that there are fewer or no factors that lead to the failure of thigh Liposuction surgery.

The other way to avoid thigh liposuction failure is to choose a hospital that provides postoperative care services. 

It is an important care service that can eliminate swelling and bruising, and the healing process can be quick. 

Postoperative care uses a device called Colegi, which uses radio frequency that helps the surgical site to heal faster, resulting the better outcomes.

Conclusion

Thigh Liposuction is an effective plastic surgery procedure to make your legs contoured and beautiful. 

It depends on the skill and experience of the surgeon you have chosen for the surgery. 

To avoid failure and get the best results, choosing a reputable hospital with highly trained surgeons and ensuring thorough consultation prior to the surgery is important.
