Liposuction for the Thighs: Sculpting Your Lower Body

Stubborn fat on the thighs can be one of the most challenging concerns to address through diet and exercise alone. For many women and men, even the most rigorous workouts fail to produce the lean, toned thighs they desire. At Plastic Surgery Vegas in Las Vegas, NV, board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Terrence "Terry" Higgins and Dr. Andrew G. Silver help patients achieve their aesthetic goals with advanced thigh liposuction techniques. If you're frustrated with persistent fat in your inner or outer thighs, keep reading to learn how liposuction can sculpt and redefine your lower body.

Why is thigh fat so hard to lose?

Thigh fat is notoriously stubborn — especially for women — due to hormonal influences and genetic factors. Estrogen, for example, can encourage fat storage in the lower body, making the thighs and hips common trouble areas for many women. In addition, some people are genetically predisposed to store fat in their thighs, meaning they may struggle with thigh fat even if they are otherwise fit and healthy. If you're frustrated by thigh fat, you may be excited to learn that liposuction offers a solution for reducing localized fat deposits that are resistant to traditional weight-loss efforts, allowing patients to achieve the slimmer, more sculpted thigh contours they desire.

How does lipo for the thighs work?

Thigh liposuction is a targeted body contouring procedure designed to remove excess fat from the inner and/or outer thighs. Using a small, thin cannula, Dr. Higgins or Dr. Silver will suction out unwanted fat cells through tiny incisions. This minimally invasive technique allows for precise fat removal and smoother, more natural-looking results with minimal downtime. During your consultation for Las Vegas thigh liposuction, your provider will assess your areas of concern and discuss your cosmetic goals to create a personalized treatment plan. Some of the most exciting benefits of thigh liposuction include:

• Gets slimmer thighs
• Reduces stubborn thigh fat
• Helps clothing fit better
• Boosts confidence

Does liposuction help with loose skin on the thighs?

For patients with significant skin laxity, liposuction alone may not be enough to achieve the desired results. In these cases, Dr. Higgins or Dr. Silva may recommend combining liposuction with a thigh lift. While liposuction removes excess fat, a thigh lift focuses on tightening and smoothing the skin for a more complete transformation. Other complementary procedures, such as a tummy tuck or liposuction on other areas like the hips or knees, may also be considered for patients seeking a more comprehensive lower body contouring solution. Again, our team will work closely with you to develop a customized thigh contouring surgery plan that can help you achieve your ideal outcome.
