Am I a candidate for lipo in the back of my thigh? (Photo)

Thank you for your question and pictures. I would recommend you a Thight liposuction for betters results. If you're willing to travel, Surgeons in the Dominican Republic have experience and very high standard of excellence when it comes to plastic surgery. I'm positive you can get what you're looking for

Dear happyargal,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Yes, liposuction can be done in this area, but your surgeon needs to be conservative and not take out too much fat.

An in person examination is always best, but it appears you may be a candidate for liposuction. This procedure removes stubborn fatty pockets and contours the body. Your surgeon may recommend J-Plasma as part of your surgery which can help to tighten skin. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Great posted photos. Best to obtain ultrasound in office to determine if just fat or a lipoma. Then options for non surgical therapy with KyBella injections in 2-3 sessions. Or surgical liposuction under local anesthesia. Best to virtual consult with...

Based on your photos, you are an excellent candidate for the lipo of the back of the thigh.The Gold Standard for superior liposuction results requires use of the advanced technology of ultrasound-assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I perform full body liposuction cases every week. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently resulted in outstanding liposuction outcomes. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of degree of excess fat by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. If skin redundancy is observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

Your pictures don’t allow for a quality assessment. Lumps may represent fat distribution, how the skin dreams or other ideology. It could be a benign tumor like a lipoma.
Liposuction may or may not be an option but it’s usually not the way we treat a specific lump on the leg.
I suggest having a few in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons.
Best,
