Achieve Slimmer-Looking Thighs with Liposuction
For many people, the thighs are among the most problematic areas when it comes to shedding stubborn fat. This may be due to genetics, hormones, and other factors that are often unavoidable. If you feel like you have tried everything to slim down your thighs without seeing the results you want, it may be time to consider your options for cosmetic body contouring. At Sawan Surgical Aesthetics, board-certified Oklahoma City plastic surgeon Dr. Kamal Sawan performs advanced liposuction fat removal surgery as one solution for reshaping the thighs and reducing diet- and exercise-resistant fat. Here, you'll find important information about thigh liposuction to help you decide whether this exciting procedure may be the life-changing step you're ready for.
How can I get a thigh gap?
One of the most in-demand physical features today is the "thigh gap" — referring to the space between your inner thighs that many influencers and celebrities flaunt. While a thigh gap may not be attainable for everyone, depending on their natural body type, it is often possible to achieve slimmer, smoother, sexier legs with liposuction — particularly for patients who struggle with stubborn fat in the thighs. It is important to keep in mind, however, that liposuction is not meant to serve as a substitute for diet and exercise. Ideal candidates for thigh liposuction should already be at or near their goal weight and have attempted to slim their thighs through consistent diet and exercise.
How does thigh lipo work?
Liposuction for the thighs is typically performed using general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure and may take up to 1 – 3 hours to complete, depending on whether any additional areas are being treated simultaneously. A small incision is made in the inner and/or outer thigh, and a handheld wand is used by Dr. Sawan to break up fat cells and suction them out. After surgery, compression garments are worn to help reduce swelling and ensure a smooth, natural-looking result.
How many inches can I lose in my thighs with liposuction?
The results of liposuction for the thighs will vary from patient to patient based on a number of individual factors, including how much excess fat is present. During your initial consultation for Oklahoma City liposuction, Dr. Sawan will carefully evaluate your areas of concern, review your health and medical history, discuss your concerns and goals, and help you understand what results may be possible for you.
Where else can liposuction be used besides the thighs?
If you're like many patients, you may have more than one problem area you'd like to address with liposuction. Some of the most common treatment areas for liposuction surgery include:
- Abdomen
- Flanks
- Hips
- Buttocks
- Thighs
- Upper arms
- Male chest
- Bra line/back rolls
- Beneath the chin
In many cases, liposuction can be performed in multiple areas during a single surgery to help create a more proportionate physique and complete transformation.
