What is
Thigh Liposuction?

Thigh liposuction is a cosmetic surgery designed to reshape and contour the thighs by removing excess fat. This procedure targets specific areas where fat tends to accumulate, helping to refine the overall appearance of the legs. Dr. Solomon uses specialized techniques to carefully remove excess fat and achieve natural-looking results. Typically, the procedure lasts between one and three hours, depending on the areas being treated.

Our Advanced Techniques

Tumescent liposuction is a widely used technique in cosmetic surgery that involves the injection of a saline solution mixed with local anesthetic and a mild vasoconstrictor into the targeted area. This solution helps swell the fat cells, making them easier to remove while minimizing bleeding and discomfort. By loosening the fat and numbing the treatment area, Dr. Solomon can achieve more precise contouring with reduced risk of trauma to surrounding tissues.
Ultrasonic-assisted liposuction (UAL) uses gentle ultrasound energy to break down fat cells before they are removed. This technique liquefies stubborn fat, making extraction easier and allowing for more refined sculpting of the thighs, abdomen, or other areas. The ultrasonic energy can target fibrous or dense fat that may be difficult to remove with traditional methods.
Power-assisted liposuction (PAL) utilizes a mechanized cannula that rapidly moves back and forth, allowing Dr. Solomon to remove fat more efficiently and with less physical effort. This technique helps to minimize tissue trauma while providing precise sculpting, making it easier to treat larger areas. The powered motion enables smoother results and can reduce procedure time compared to manual techniques.
Laser-assisted liposuction (LAL) employs concentrated laser energy to gently melt fat cells, which are then removed through a small cannula. In addition to breaking down fat, the laser energy stimulates collagen production in the skin, which can improve firmness and elasticity in the treated area. This technique is often chosen for patients seeking more refined contours and subtle skin tightening. Laser-assisted liposuction is minimally invasive and precise, allowing Dr. Solomon to target delicate areas with accuracy.

Consultation & Preparation
for Thigh Liposuction

During the initial consultation, Dr. Solomon evaluates the patient’s overall health, discusses goals, and reviews medical history. This appointment allows for careful planning of the areas to be treated and helps determine the most appropriate liposuction technique. Patients may undergo preoperative testing, adjust current medications, and receive detailed instructions on fasting and lifestyle modifications before plastic surgery. The consultation also provides an opportunity to discuss expectations and address any questions, ensuring a clear understanding of the procedure and its outcomes. Proper preparation helps create a safe and effective surgical experience.

Thigh Liposuction Precedure

Thigh liposuction can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure and the patient’s needs.
  • For smaller areas or less invasive treatments, local anesthesia is often sufficient, allowing patients to remain comfortable while fully aware.
  • In more extensive cases, general anesthesia may be used to ensure complete relaxation and pain control throughout the procedure.

The choice of anesthesia is carefully determined to balance safety with comfort and efficiency.

Small, discreet incisions are made in strategic areas, often near natural creases or the inner knee, to minimize visible scarring. These entry points allow Dr. Solomon to access and contour the underlying fat with precision. Placement of incisions is planned to provide optimal results while maintaining the integrity and appearance of surrounding tissues.
Once the incisions are made, specialized cannulas are used to remove excess fat from targeted areas of the thighs. Dr. Solomon carefully sculpts the contours, addressing pockets of stubborn fat that resist diet and exercise. Techniques such as tumescent, ultrasonic-assisted, power-assisted, or laser-assisted liposuction may be used to enhance efficiency and precision, depending on the patient’s needs.
After excess fat is removed, the treated area is smoothed and shaped to ensure a natural, proportionate appearance. Dr. Solomon may use gentle massage or specialized instruments to refine the contours and create symmetry between both legs. Attention to detail in this stage helps achieve a balanced and aesthetically pleasing result.
The incisions are closed with fine sutures or left to heal naturally if very small. Bandages or compression garments may be applied to support the newly contoured thighs and reduce swelling during the initial healing phase. Closure techniques are designed to promote minimal scarring and maintain the smooth contours achieved during fat removal.

Many patients who undergo thigh liposuction may also consider a thigh lift to address loose skin that cannot be removed through fat extraction alone. This surgical procedure targets excess skin and tissue to create smoother, firmer, and more contoured thighs. The procedure typically involves both a horizontal incision along the groin and, in some cases, a vertical incision along the inner thigh to achieve optimal results. By carefully removing and repositioning tissue, a thigh lift can enhance the overall shape of the legs, resulting in toned thighs that complement the body’s natural contours. Combining liposuction with a thigh lift allows for a comprehensive transformation in both fat reduction and skin tightening.

A lower body lift surgery is designed for patients seeking more extensive contouring of the lower torso, hips, buttocks, and thighs. This procedure removes excess skin and fat to create a smoother, firmer silhouette, often addressing areas that have been affected by significant weight loss or other factors. By combining multiple regions into a single surgical approach, lower body lift surgery provides uniform results and enhances overall body proportion.

Recovery After Thigh Liposuction

During the first few weeks after thigh liposuction, most patients experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the treated areas. Wearing compression garments is essential for supporting the tissues, minimizing swelling, and promoting proper contouring. Patients are typically encouraged to engage in light walking to maintain circulation and reduce the risk of blood clots, while avoiding strenuous activities that could disrupt the healing process. Close monitoring and adherence to postoperative instructions are crucial for ensuring a smooth recovery process.
Between weeks 4 and 6, swelling and bruising continue to subside, and patients gradually regain strength and mobility. Normal activities can usually be resumed during this period, although high-impact exercise or heavy lifting should still be approached with caution. The body’s tissues continue to adjust and settle, contributing to the refinement of the thigh contours and bringing the results closer to the desired outcome.
Full recovery from thigh liposuction typically occurs around six weeks after the procedure, with most patients seeing the final shape and definition of their thighs by this time. The treated areas are smoother, and any residual swelling has usually resolved. Maintaining healthy habits and following postoperative guidance helps preserve results, ensuring that the desired outcome achieved through the recovery process is long-lasting and natural-looking.
