Question

can you do lipo on top of the thigh?

Aaron Stone, MD · Answer

I assume you mean the front of the thigh. The answer is it depends. Convex areas like the front of the thigh are very unforgiving for uneven fat removal or liposuction access sites. The better question is- is liposuction of the front of the thighs right for "me". The answer would depend on the face to face physical examination findings. I have liposuctioned this area in patients but they are not the majority of liposuction patients.My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship in order to know if this assessment is valid.

This is one of my fav areas to lipo if you are a candidate.  If it is not done properly it can give horrible results with irregularity and flatening.  I suggest only going to an expert who specialzes in this type of leg liposuction.  Best, Dr. Emer,

I would have see pictures or examine you to be able to make recommendations. I
would search for the board certified plastic surgeon who you feel is
most likely to give you the best results and who performs hundreds of
these procedures each year. I would look at patient reviews as well as
before and after photos on that surgeon's website.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

It is possible to target the upper thigh in liposuction, but it's important that only a specific amount of fat is removed and it be done carefully to prevent contour irregularities. Being conservative is better. This area is often affected by loose skin as well, and a thigh lift is often better suited to achieving a patient's expectations.

Liposuction of the anterior superior thigh can be performed  oftentimes is not a good idea. Nevertheless, if you pinch an area and is greater than an inch between you two fingers liposuction may have a role.
