Liposuction - Learn About Each Area - Inner Thighs

This is a gravitationally prone-liposuction procedure and another very common problem area for women. Unfortunately, this area is also more prone to irregularities if not done properly. The skin of the inner thighs is much thinner and if the surgeon does not have respect for the elasticity of the skin in this area, irregularities will result. It is important not to be aggressive by poking or jabbing the skin with the cannula. Also, proper patient positioning is crucial to ensure a natural result. Some patients only need the upper, inner thighs done. But, in others, it is important to contour the whole inner thigh down to the medial knee to obtain a natural, well proportioned result.

Liposuction - Learn About Each Area - Outer Thighs

Also known as saddle bags, this is probably the most common problem area for woman. This area defines a woman's width in her lower half. Even small differences in the outer thighs can make a great improvement to a woman's silhouette. When done properly this area gives a smaller, rounder shape to the buttocks. I can choose to remove more fat in this area, because the skin is thicker. Technique-wise, it is important to approach this area vertically; otherwise horizontal bands can result and cause a rippling look to the skin. The surgeon must be careful to not be overly aggressive otherwise a "masculinized" or scooped shape can result. It is extremely important to pay attention to symmetry in this area, as it defines the outer silhouette.
