How is Thigh Liposuction in NYC performed?

Laser liposuction of the thighs helps you achieve your body contouring goals without going under the knife. It uses laser energy to target the excess fat. Unlike the traditional surgical procedure which uses general anesthesia, this minimally-invasive option can be performed using local anesthesia.

The Smartlipo Triplex device features three laser wavelengths (1064nm, 1320nm and 1440nm) which work to liquefy the fat, coagulate the tissues, minimize bleeding, and tighten the skin. The procedure begins with the plastic surgeon numbing the treatment site and making tiny incisions to insert the small cannula of the device. Laser energy is delivered directly to the fat cells, which liquefies them and allows them to be gently suctioned off. By directing the energy to the area beneath the surface of the skin, the technique also encourages collagen production, which results in a tighter, more toned appearance overall.

Benefits of Smartlipo Thigh Liposuction

Smartlipo laser liposuction procedure offers several benefits over traditional liposuction:

  • Minimally invasive: requires smaller incisions than traditional liposuction, reducing trauma to the surrounding tissues.
  • Precision: targets fat cells precisely, allowing for effective removal and thigh contouring.
  • Less recovery time: Shorter recovery allows patients to return to normal activities sooner.
  • Skin tightening: Laser energy stimulates collagen production, tightening the skin in the treated area.
  • Reduced bruising and swelling: Laser-assisted technique causes less bruising and swelling, improving the recovery experience.
  • Long-lasting results: Fat cells are permanently removed and results can be maintained with a healthy lifestyle
  • Customizable treatment: The procedure can be tailored to the individual’s specific body shape and goals, providing personalized results.
  • Local anesthesia: Procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, reducing risks associated with general anesthesia.

Keep in mind that achieving optimal results for this procedure requires significant surgical expertise and skill.

Key Considerations for Liposuction on Thighs: The Importance of Selecting an Experienced Surgeon

Thigh liposuction has some unique aspects compared to liposuction of other body areas due to the specific characteristics and anatomy of the thighs:

  • Targets stubborn fat deposits in the inner and outer thighs

This is a specialized procedure for those with localized fat in the outer and inner thighs. Many women choose to have the procedure to achieve a thigh gap, where the inner thighs do not touch. This is a specific aesthetic concern, making this body contouring procedure unique compared to procedures targeting other parts of the body.

  • Contouring vs. fat removal

Liposuction on the abdomen or arms may focus heavily on fat removal. However, as the thighs play a key role in body symmetry lipo on thighs also focuses on creating a smooth and natural contour. Having it performed by a skilled surgeon is crucial to avoid irregularities on the skin surface.

  • Higher risk of skin laxity

Compared to areas like the abdomen or arms, the skin on the thighs can be more prone to laxity or sagging, especially if large amounts of fat are removed. Thigh lipo needs to address this to prevent post-procedure sagging.

  • Risk of Irregularities

The thighs are a large surface area with more curvature and contours than other areas of the body. This increases the risk of unevenness or irregular fat distribution.  Precise fat removal and contouring are needed to achieve the best results.

  • Impact on mobility and healing

Walking, standing, and general movement depend heavily on the thighs. As a result, recovery may be more challenging than other areas. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort can directly affect mobility, making aftercare more important.

Factors such as aesthetics, skin elasticity, and mobility makes liposuction on thighs a unique procedure that requires special considerations and skills to perform. So, If you are considering thigh liposuction in NYC, choose an AAAASF-accredited plastic surgery that has plastic surgeons who are experts in performing the procedure. In a reliable facility, you can expect quality treatment and personalized care till complete recovery.
