The thighs can be a particularly stubborn area to lose excess fat, causing women to hide them in baggier pants or dresses, and to forgo bathing suits altogether.
However, thigh liposuction can significantly improve this issue, removing excess fat and giving the legs a more aesthetically attractive, proportioned shape.
At the Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin perform thigh liposuction to give patients a more contoured look and to restore their confidence. They have successfully helped many patients love their new thighs with their Northern Virginia thigh liposuction treatments.
Why Choose Thigh Liposuction?
When most people think of liposuction, they don’t typically think of it with regard to the thighs—but the procedure has excellent results in this troublesome area, where fat cells tend to accumulate.
Whether the fatty deposits are on the inner thighs, the outer thighs, or both, it can affect how a woman’s body appears in different types of clothes. This can make her seem shorter and heavier than she actually is.
The good news is that the thighs respond better to liposuction than some other areas of the body. It removes this excess fat, making the thighs look much better and giving the body an overall more well-shaped appearance.
The Thigh Liposuction Procedure
During your Northern Virginia thigh liposuction consultation with Dr. Sundin, he will assess the leg and thigh area circumferentially in order to determine what areas of the thighs should be treated. Thigh liposuction can be performed on either the inner and outer areas of the thighs, a combination of the two, or along with other areas of the body.
As with any liposuction procedure, tiny incisions are made near the treatment site. A thin, hollow tube called a cannula will then be inserted near the thighs, and will be moved back and forth in order to break up fat and vacuum it away, and out of the body.
Thigh Liposuction Results
After thigh liposuction, some results will be immediately noticeable—however, the final results won’t appear for about three months.
