How much fat can be removed from my legs/thighs? What would be a realistic expectation? (photos)

Liposuction should make a huge difference for you on the legs and is easy to undergo.  Make sure your doc stands you up occasionally to fine tune it as well for best results.

Thank you for your question and photos.  Your expectations will dictate the best procedure(s) for you.  I suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over the options that best address your goals.  Best of luck!

Thanks for the question. 
In this regard, I recommend you waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.
Kind regards

BodyTite is capable of producing a 45% contraction in tissues; it can be done in conjunction with liposuction. BodyTite is used for treatment of all body areas with large volume to tighten skin on arms, abdomen (in conjunction with liposuction), knees, inner thighs, and bra rolls.  Results can be seen immediately after one treatment and are more evident over three to six months post-treatment. Wait until six months to fully evaluate the aesthetic results. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed examination.  Look at before and after photos on the PS's website to determine if BodyTite would provide the results you are seeking.

Hello and thank you for your question and sharing your photos. You seem to be a good candidate for liposuction of your abdomen, flanks and thighs. Liposuction is best be done under general anesthesia. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic
surgeon for a full evaluation and advice. Best,

When we perform liposuction to the lower legs, microcannulas are used to remove fat very superficially without damaging the tissue or causing any scars or irregularities. Multiple energy devices are used to melt fat and tighten skin, which is especially needed in this small, sensitive area. Precision and skill is vital to get the best outcomes.Coolsculpting and Kybella are non-surgical options that can also be used for fat reduction in the knees.
I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert to determine the best course of treatment for you. Best, Dr. Emer

Dear jac123456,
it is hard to predict the exact volume of removed fat. But based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for liposuction. Also, if you want to get multiple areas liposuctioned, then general anesthesia is a better solution. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

jac123456I appreciate your concerns, and your photographs indicate that you would be an excellent candidate for liposuction contouring of year inner and outer thighs. Since this should be combined with conservative circumferential liposuction contouring of your thighs, general anesthesia is the best option. I would not think of it as the amount of fat removed, but rather improvement of contour from decreased volume of fat removed uniformly to shrink thigh circumference. Over resection of fat can cause skin irregularities and uneven contour. For this reason, be certain to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to greatly increase your chances for the best possible result. Good luck.

Thank you for sharing your photos! Although it is
difficult to say without an in person examination, if you have good skin
elasticity, you should be a good candidate for liposuction.  Liposculpture
as an outpatient procedure under I.V. sedation can reduce the bulge that some
people have in their calves and ankles and restore a more shapely leg. Unlike
other areas of the body the ankles, calves, and knees require a certain
delicacy which is why I use several innovative forms of liposuction, including
SmartLipo, to contour and resculpture the area while providing the most
beautiful results with minimal scarring. 
Liposuction works best on patients
who are of relatively average weight, but who need help with a problem area,
and it can reduce and improve the contour of the thighs, calves and ankles
. SmartLipo, used in combination with other forms of liposuction, is a
procedure that uses laser light to liquefy fat and tighten the surrounding
skin. It’s thought to involve less downtime and side-effects than traditional
liposuction and is particularly good for small areas of fat deposits like the
ankles. New technology that's gentler and faster than ever before not only
allows the removal of fat, but also resculpts the legs. I suggest making an appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon
for consultation to discuss your options. 

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Based on your pictures, you are a good candidate for liposuction, to improve your abdomen, back, flanks and thighs, and I think you'll get very good results. An in-person consultation is needed to determine the amount of fat able to transfer.
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 30 or less.
I recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)
