If your dieting and exercising efforts have failed, lipo of the inner thigh could be the right choice for you. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to reduce fat. That means if your problem area is your inner thigh, there is no guarantee your efforts will work. Fat may stubbornly remain in this area, even if you work out and eat healthily for months. In such cases, liposuction is the best solution. By permanently removing those fat cells, lipo can help you achieve your body’s perfection goals. This procedure can give you the firm and youthful-looking thighs you desire. In turn, your body confidence will increase.
However, not every individual is a good candidate for this procedure. So, let’s take a closer look at this surgery and who will benefit the most.
What Is Inner Thigh Liposuction?
Inner thigh lipo is an operation that reshapes your inner thighs by removing the excess fat. The result is smoother skin, as well as a more proportionate lower body appearance. A surgeon carries out the procedure under a local anesthetic. This means that you will be awake and alert throughout the surgery but will experience no pain. This will shorten your recovery time and enable you to go home the same day. You will soon see the results of your surgery, although it’ll take a few weeks to see the final result.
What Makes A Good Candidate for Inner Thigh Lipo?
First, we need to cover what makes a good candidate for any kind of liposuction. You need to have a relatively stable body weight that is at or close to your ideal. You should also be in good physical health and not be a smoker. Most importantly, you should have realistic expectations of the outcome of the surgery. When it comes specifically to good candidates for thigh lipo, you will have a bulge on your legs’ inner aspect. You will also have good skin elasticity so that your body can easily shape to its new contours without wrinkling. If you come to Artlipo for your surgery, you will have an in-depth consultation with Dr. Su. He will clearly explain to you the new body shape he will be able to create for you. He’ll also tell you about any potential negative effects, such as wrinkles, that could occur if your skin is looser.
I Have A Bulge on My Inner Thigh
Fat can often accumulate in bulges on various parts of the thigh. This fat will then stand out from the remainder of the leg’s profile. When Dr. Su treats a bulge on the inner thigh, he doesn’t remove all the fat. Rather, he sculpts and smooths the bulge. This allows it to fit in with the body’s natural contours more effectively. He will sculpt the inner part of the thigh to have a slight curve. This will make the leg look slimmer as it progresses downward. A large upper bulge on the inner thighs is unsightly and uncomfortable since it causes chafing. Dr. Su will, therefore, smooth that bulge so it matches the inner leg’s natural slope.
I Have Thick Thighs Overall
If your thighs are generally thick all over, you can still benefit from liposuction. Some women don’t just have a bulge on their inner upper thighs. They also have a thickness that extends to below their knees. Such patients can benefit from full inner thigh sculpting to slim the whole leg. This makes an enormous difference to women who have thick legs but a slim upper body. Liposuction will bring the shape of their legs in line with their torso for a more proportionate appearance. This can be challenging as a surgeon must do it smoothly and evenly to produce no bumps or lumps. Fortunately, Dr. Su is an expert in this field. He produces impressive results in patients with thick legs, which you can see in our before and after gallery.
What Is the Recovery from Inner Thigh Liposuction Like?
As Dr. Su carries out inner thigh lipo under a local anesthetic, the recovery period is shorter. You will return home on the same day as your surgery. After a couple of days of rest, you will be able to begin resuming everyday activities. However, you’ll need to wait for a while longer before resuming strenuous exercise. You will receive a compression garment to wear, minimizing the swelling and supporting your healing contours. You will also receive instructions about caring for your incisions and your general health. Within a few weeks, you will be able to see the results of your surgery and enjoy your new body.
