Inner thighs can often rub each other, causing chafing. They can also appear bulky. These issues are due to having excess fat in the inner thighs. At Downsize! Lipo Center of Houston, we provide inner thigh liposuction to Houston patients to help improve the shape of their inner thighs and treat chafing.
What Is Inner Thigh Liposuction?
Inner thigh liposuction is a procedure that removes excess fat from the inner thigh areas, providing natural-looking results in the form of precise sculpting and contouring. During the procedure, the fat cells in the inner thighs are loosened with a vibrating cannula and then removed from the body using medical suction.
Am I a Good Candidate?
Inner thigh liposuction is recommended for patients who want to restore the gap between their thighs. Patients with localized fat deposits in their inner thighs that cannot be removed through dieting and regular exercise are ideal candidates for inner thigh liposuction. Patients who are in good overall health and at or near their ideal body weight are excellent candidates.
Patients with good skin elasticity are perfect for inner thigh liposuction. Patients with poor skin elasticity, especially in their inner thighs, might need a combination of liposuction and a thigh lift to achieve their ideal thigh appearance.
Your Consultation
Your consultation will start with Dr. Hennessy listening to your goals and concerns. He will perform a physical examination on your thighs and evaluate your medical history. He will recommend a suitable liposuction technique based on your goals.
Dr. Hennessy will create a detailed surgical plan and explain it to you. He will discuss the liposuction procedure, the recovery process, cost, and more. In addition, Dr. Hennessy will show photos of the results you can expect from your liposuction procedure. All questions will be addressed so you can make a sound decision regarding inner thigh liposuction.
The Procedure
The inner thigh liposuction procedure can last anywhere from 1 to 4 hours. Dr. Hennessy will perform an “awake liposuction,” meaning that the patient will be awake and fully comfortable during the procedure. This reduces recovery time and side effects, since general anesthesia is not used.
First, a tumescent solution is administered to reduce the chance of bleeding and swell the fat cells for easier removal. This also numbs the region. An incision is made, and a vibrating cannula is inserted to break down and suction out excess fat cells in the inner thighs.
The Recovery Process
The patient can go home right after the inner thigh lipo procedure. A compression garment may be worn to boost healing and maintain the ideal shape of the thighs. Since awake liposuction was performed, the patient will only need 48 hours of recovery time before returning to their regular activities. Results will be instantly noticeable, and full results will be visible once all swelling is gone.
How Much Does Inner Thigh Liposuction Cost?
The cost of inner thigh liposuction will depend on the treatment plan. Factors like anesthesia fees, total surgical time, and the exact techniques used can impact the overall price of the treatment.
