Smart Lipo Thighs

Tags: thighs

I went to my Dr. and had a second consultation for the Smart Lipo procedure. I am not 100% sure if I am a good candidate for this and I left the office still feeling confused. I have large thighs (always have) and as I am getting older,(I am 42) they are getting more jiggly. I do work out 3x's a week, but my thighs never seem to shrink in size. Will this procedure really help me scale them down a bit, or should I work out more often instead of spending the $4,500?

Smart Lipo or SlimLipo for thighs - good option

Using a laser liposuction device is a great option if you have moderate to good skin tone and want to reduce volume in certain areas.

To better answer whether Slim Lipo or Smart Lipo is an option for you, it would be helpful to have a picture to see. Both procedures have a very high satisfaction rate. Good luck.

Smart Lipo doesn't reduce jiggle!

Any kind of liposuction removes fat to make an area thinner. But it will not make you less "jiggly." In fact, with less "stuffing" in the skin, the perception of looseness sometimes increases. Patients need to understand this. It makes people thinner, but not younger. The claim that certain methods of liposuction tightens skin is as old as the procedure itself. And like miracle fountain of youth drugs, NOT ONE has ever been shown to achieve this. Ultrasonic... more

Smart Lipo and Liposuction of the thighs

Laser assisted liposuction with Smart lipo provides added benefits to regular liposuction. Smart lipo and VASER ultrasound assisted liposuction melt fat and also produce some skin shrinkage. These techniques minimize contour irregularities associated with regular liposuction.

Will Smartlipo Work?

Smarlipo and Lipo work by removing fat cells. There is some tightening of the skin due to fibrosis of the underlying tissue and contraction of the collagen. Smartlipo is great for targeted areas such as the thighs, hips, abdomen, chest (for men), arms, chin, etc.

SmartLipo removes unwanted fat

Like all liposuction procedures, SmartLipo removes localized collections of unwanted fat. If you have excess fat located on your thighs, it may be a good option. However, as the other physicians have mentioned, it will not reduce the "jiggle".
