Can I Achieve an Inner Thigh Gap with Lipo? (photo)
Is it possible for me to achieve that beautiful SPACE or GAP between my thighs with liposuction? My thighs constantly rub, making running/walking/jogging difficult when i work out, and it wears out my pants. It also makes me extremely self conscious. Can this be achieved on me? Thanks in advance!

Medial Thigh Liposuction Candidate?
Thank you for the question and picture.
You may be an excellent candidate for liposuction of the medial thigh area. This determination will be made after careful physical examination. Physical examination will be necessary to evaluate the amount of adipose tissue present and the quality of the overlying skin. In this area, skin tends to be quite thin and often demonstrates less elasticity than other areas (for example lateral thighs). For this reason, the majority...

Nothing makes a person look taller and thinner than a gap between your thighs. From your photos you should be a good candidate. An examine by an experienced plastic surgeon could clarify whether this is realistic.

Liposuction will help inner thighs
Thank you for your question tinkerbelle. If the rubbing between your thighs is in fact fat then liposuction will help you achieve a more esthetic look. Just from your photos it does not appear you need am outer thigh liposuction. I don't see evidence of skin wrinkling or poor tone from this photo. Do your homework and make sure you are evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon who can determine if a liposuction or thigh lift will give you the best result...

Inner thich liposuction
From your pictures I can see what bothers you. I do think some size reduction in your inner thigh can be achieved so that the thighs do not rub as much as they do at present, but that area of the body has its limitations on how well the skin can shrink. For that reason, although there will be an improvement, there might not be as much of a change as you are visualizing in your mind.

Liposuction for Inner Thighs
Thank you for adding the photo. It helps. Yes, it is possible to achieve a "Gap" between the inner thighs with liposuction. However, it is not always attainable - and depends on the amount of fatty tissue, and the bone structure of the individual patient. The inner thigh is an area where the skin can be "crepey" after liposuction - so overdoing the area isn't a good idea. Your first step is to make a liposuction consultation with a well experienced physician. The...

Inner thigh issues
Inner thigh rubbing can be a problem. Liposuction , may help to thin them out but be careful, because over aggressive liposuction can cause the skin to hang more and then you may require a thigh lift.

Inter-Thigh Space and Liposuction
Ideally, there should be a narrow space between the thighs when the feet are in a relaxed stance. Depending on the amount of fat and the quality of skin along the inner thigh liposuction can be a great procedure. However, in some removing great amounts of fat can result in hanging skin or worse, in a a " Shark Bite" deformity. See a good Plastc surgeon to properly advise you.

Inner thigh liposuction goals
It is hard to say exactly how you would do with inner thigh liposuction without seeing you in person - you should meet with a Board-certified plastic surgeon to get the full answer on this one. It looks like you have good quality skin and focal, not diffuse, fat, so you should do well with liposuction.

Achieving the inner thigh gap after liposuction
The beautiful gap between the leg in the upper thigh is influenced by the amount of fat, though also by anatomy. Some individuals will have a wider pelvis and hip and more tapered thigh, and suctioning the inner thigh can be a sure thing for the look you are after. Your shape is fuller in the upper thigh and pubis, and though suctioning can be a great help, the gap is a little less certain.
Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

Inner thigh gaps
Liposuction can sure improve the rubbing of the inner thighs and make life so much easier and more comfortable when you exercise. Part of the problem can be muscle as well but the lipo would definitely be worth doing. I would recommend doing the inner knees as well. sincerely,

Inner thigh gap with liposuction?
Thank you for your question and photo. Liposuction of the inner thigh can certainly improve this area however, it is very important to remember that the final result of liposuction is a 50/50 proposition with 50% of the result coming from fat removal and 50% coming from skin contraction following the liposuction procedure. Unfortunately, the inner thigh is not the best area in the body for skin contraction. If only a small amount of fat is removed excessive skin will not be a...
