Inner Thigh Liposuction

Most women who have fat accumulation in the inner or outer thigh region or are unhappy with the overall size of their thighs will greatly benefit from thigh liposuction.

Inner thigh liposuction can significantly improve the silhouette of the thigh and reduce the rubbing together of the inner thighs.

Though primarily performed on women, male patients have undergone inner thigh liposuction.

Usually women who decide to get inner thigh liposuction have fat that runs over the length of the inner thigh and knee.

Inner thigh liposuction can worsen the degree of wrinkling. Those with anterior inner thighs already showing some degree of wrinkling should know that liposuction may improve the shape of the thigh, but at the same time intensify the wrinkled appearance of the skin.

Inner thigh liposuction can drastically improve the shape of the thigh, and reduce the rubbing together of the inner thighs.

Ideally, after inner thigh liposuction there should be no visible evidence of a surgical procedure, no significant lumpiness, or irregularity of shape.

The results of inner thigh liposuction are extremely dependent upon the diameter of the liposuction cannula.

Micro-cannulas permit inner thigh liposuction in small incremental amounts and careful attention to detail, resulting in exceptionally smooth results.

Incomplete Liposuction Liposuction of the inner thighs with the patient lying on her back does not allow sufficient access to the fat on the posterior portion of the inner thighs which therefore is often insufficiently treated. The recovery period is quite rapid provided that the surgeon has done some liposuction via an incision placed along the most dependent margin of the treated area, and that this incision has not been sutured.

Prospective patients whose anterior inner thighs already show some degree of wrinkling should be informed that liposuction may be expected to improve the shape of the thigh while at the same time exacerbate the wrinkled appearance of the skin. Alternative Surgical Procedures For a woman who cannot tolerate her extensive wrinkling of the inner thigh, there is the option of a surgical thigh lift.

In older women, and especially in women who have lost a considerable amount of weight, the skin overlying the anterior portion of the inner thigh tends to be wrinkled. Liposuction will not improve this wrinkled appearance.

Skin Elasticity Women who have prominent inner thigh fat and good skin elasticity can expect excellent results following liposuction.

Most women who seek liposuction of the thighs have fat that extends continuously over the entire extent of the inner thigh and knee.

The inner thigh area is a common area of concern among women who seek liposuction.

Treating the inner thigh and inner knee as separate areas can result in unevenness at the intervening area where no liposuction is done. When liposuction of both the inner thigh and knee areas is needed, then liposuction over the entire combined area permits more complete liposuction with smoother results.

Occasionally a male patient will request liposuction of the upper inner thigh.

Cannula Size Counts Smooth results following liposuction of the inner thigh is largely dependent upon the size (diameter) of the liposuction cannula.

Under general anesthesia, with a breathing-tube inserted into the trachea or wind-pipe, it is safest to have the patient positioned lying on the back. Attempting to treat the entire inner thigh with the patient on her back often results in inadequate fat removal from the posterior inner thigh.

Inner and Outer Thigh liposuction is often performed in combination with liposuction of other areas, including the abdomen and love handles.

Treating the inner thigh and inner knee at separate time can result in disproportion at the area where no liposuction was performed.

The treatment of the inner thighs and inner knees are often performed at the same time to create an overall slimming effect. When liposuction of the both the inner thigh and knee areas is needed, then liposuction over the entire combined area permits more complete liposuction with smoother results.

Inner thigh liposuction can significantly improve the silhouette of the thigh.Inner thigh liposuction procedure involves the use of either a traditional lipoplasty or ultra sound lipoplasty technique.

The board certified surgeons of the Plastic Surgery Institute of California are highly experienced in performing the inner thigh liposuction procedure.

The inner and outer thighs are a problem area for many women ” and often the bulges and sagging skin seem to grow worse with age. Most thigh patients who choose to add SmartLipo do so only on their inner thighs.

Full thigh patients can always expect some degree of bruising, especially near the knees and inner thighs.

If your inner thighs are larger than you like and there is not a well defined bulge at the top (your legs are straight from the knee to the top of the inner thigh), you may need to treat the knees with the inner thighs for the best cosmetic result.

If you had your inner thighs, outer thighs or knees treated, your garment should be worn for 7 days.

If your inner thigh is a well defined bulge, treating your knees is optional.

Due to the thinner nature of the inner thigh skin, results for the inner thigh often take longer and during the healing process inner thighs can be bumpy and wavy in contour.

Due to the extensive tissue trauma, patients must plan for 3-4 weeks off work and will have lifetime scars of 5-7″ in length on the inner thigh and in the buttock crease”which thicken for up to 1 year after surgery.”

The bruises on the inner thigh typically appear a few days to one week after the procedure and last for about a week.

The inner thighs almost always bruise while the outer thighs bruise much less frequently.

Most patients see a tightening of inner thigh tissue and a reduction in overall “jiggliness” of the entire thigh.

As the healing progresses, the waviness disappears as the body absorbs the swelling and a nice smooth contour on the inner thigh begins to take form.

Thigh liposuction safely and permanently removes thigh fat and helps correct for skin laxity, resulting in a tighter, smaller and younger looking thighs.

If you are over age 60, have had gastric bypass surgery or have lost more than 100 pounds, you may benefit from a combination of thigh liposuction and skin resection surgery to help remove redundant skin.” Unlike a thigh lift, thigh liposuction patients are immediately able to walk and use their legs.

Fat of the inner thighs contains little fibrous tissue and has a soft jelly-like quality, and it is easily and rapidly liposuctioned.

Inner Thighs and Inner Knees Inner thighs and inner knees are often treated at the same time.

Fat of the inner thighs has a tender, jelly-like quality and few fibrous tissues.

In older women, and especially in women who have lost a considerable amount of weight, the skin overlying the anterior portion of the inner thigh tends to be wrinkled and will need additional procedures to tighten the skin.

Direct adductor exercise, however, often has the effect of making the inner thigh muscles adductors discernibly larger - the exact opposite of what most women are trying to accomplish.

Just as important, you use your inner thigh muscles to prevent over-abduction; in other words, you use your adductors to stay balanced whenever you’re on one leg (again, as in walking). Take a look at this inner thigh exercise video inner thigh exercise video.

The first myth that you have to eliminate before you can get results is that working your inner thighs directly will magically metabolize the fat that may be covering the muscles below. This myth of spot reduction makes no sense here’s why.

For most people, high reps will not and cannot build any muscle whatsoever and, as pointed out above, will not selectively burn fat from the inner thigh (or any other body part, for that matter).

Besides, there are five separate muscles in your inner thigh - each designed to work best when your leg is at different angles.

Second is the myth that many reps will ‘tone’ the inner thigh muscles. There is no such physiological process as “toning.”

Inner thigh exercises will not and cannot specifically target the fat deposits on your inner thighs.

For more detailed information about how this procedure may help you, we recommend that you consult a plastic surgeon who is board certified or has completed a residency program that includes instruction in this procedure.

Thigh liposuction is often performed in conjunction with buttock liposuction.

The procedure can remove significant amount of fat and help correct thigh bulges and skin laxity.

We can remove well over 1 gallon of fat during one procedure, which for most women means that additional areas can be treated at the same time as the thighs.

Because well over 1 gallon of fat (over 10 pounds!) can be removed, the results of thigh liposculpture can be very dramatic.

The results are permanent and unlike a thigh lift, thigh liposculpture leaves no unsightly scars and does not require any stitches.

Although a thigh lift can offer dramatic results, the procedure is invasive has a greater risk of serious complications, prolonged downtime with slower and more painful recovery, and always results in significant and permanent scaring.”

For individuals who have undergone gastric bypass surgery or lost more than 100 pounds, a thigh lift may be required for reduction of redundant skin.

Thigh liposculpture slims the overall thighs, reduces bulges, and stimulates skin tightening.

Thigh liposculpture can help even out each thigh and make the shape of the thigh area more symmetrical.

A consultation with Dr. Bittner can help you determine if you should consider liposculpture or a thigh lift.

If you can pinch less than a quarter inch of fat on your thighs, you are not a good candidate for liposculpture.

Often one thigh is noticeably bigger than the other or one thigh has more fat than the other.

For patients with very large trunk shaped legs, also called thunder thighs, who desire a smaller, nicely shaped thigh and want to decrease the circumference of the thigh, treating the ‘Full Thigh’ is the best option.”

After the procedure, the thighs are smaller, clothing fits better, and the thighs are in proportion to the overall body contour.

Thigh rubbing or chaffing is often due to a combination of factors, including fat deposits, body musculature, and skeletal structure.”

Unfortunately,”some people will have thighs that touch or rub even after thigh liposculpture.

Thigh liposculpture can safely smooth saddlebags, eliminate thigh rubbing, and decrease the overall circumference of the thighs.

Thigh liposculpture takes less than two hours and is done at our office in Beverly Hills with local anesthesia.

Prolonged requiring weeks off work and restricted use of thighs for 1 or more months.

Soreness improves every day after the procedure and is usually gone entirely in less than 2 weeks for inner and outer thigh patients or 4 weeks for full thigh patients.

The inner and outer thigh are each considered one area and the full thighs are considered three areas (inner, outer, and top).

The ‘Full Thigh’ option includes the inner and outer thighs as well as the top of the thigh (the quadrecep area) and the knees.

Two punctures are made for each inner or outer thigh and the full thigh requires about 8 punctures per leg.

Treating the inner or outer thighs will change the shape of the thigh by eliminating lumps and bumps, but it will not significantly decrease the overall size or circumfrence of the thigh.

The outer thighs do not typically swell much and visible results are usually apparent in between one and four weeks.

The outer thighs are commonly called the saddlebags and are located on the outside of the thighs under the hip joint.”

The entire thigh, except for a 4″ strip from the back of the knee to the buttocks crease (over the hamstring) is treated in the Full Thigh.

The Full Thigh will not reduce the degree of wrinkling you have over your knees and it is not a treatment for cellulite.

You cannot treat the top of the thigh separately; it must be done as part of the Full Thigh package.

If you had your full thighs treated, you should wear the garment for 14 days.

The use of microcannulas (outside diameter between 1.5 and 2.8 mm) permits liposuction of fat in small incremental amounts.

If large cannulas are used or if liposuction is not done carefully, then localized areas of excessive liposuction may result.

When the medial thigh skin is excessively wrinkled and crepey, liposuction may not provide a satisfactory degree of improvement.

For patients with marked wrinkling, and only a minimal amount of medial thigh fat, the most reasonable option might simply be no surgical treatment.

Liposuction is popular with both men and women, and is the most commonly performed of all plastic surgeries in the United States.
