Please recommend what is the best procedure to remove my saddlebags? (Photo)

Thanks for submitting your question and photos. You would benefit from liposuction to remove and debulk the fat from those areas. You might have some skin laxity as well in that area which could be removed with a skin excision. Compression and lymphatic massage postop will help as well. Good luck!

Thank you for your inquiry! Liposuction will cause sagging of the skin. There are other options to consider. We would love to sit down with you to discuss your concerns. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your options.

hello,
Based on your photos, you would benefit from an Extended Outer Thigh Lift. It may be necessary to also perform the Posterior Body Lift, if you have excess skin around your backside. The other option might be a full Body Lift , which would address the abdomen area if you have loose skin there. I have performed scores of these procedures. You may also benefit from some amount of Liposuction , but it appears that your main issue is excess skin.

Good luck with your search!

Dear SM123sm,
Thank you for asking your question and uploading photos. Based on the photos attached, the saddlebags could be improved with liposuction and a skin removal procedure would also likely be required due to the excess skin. I recommend seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon for a consultation to obtain more information and recommendations.

From your photos you should get improvement of the saddlebags with liposuction. J Plasma could be added to address skin laxity. An in person evaluation is best, but from the photos a second round of liposuction at a later date could help to further contour the area. It is important to select an experienced board certified plastic surgeon for your procedure and closely follow all post op instructions for optimal results.

You will need several procedures to do this. I would begin with liposuction. I can remove up to 10 lbs during one session. You may need 2 sessions after this and then will need at thigh lift because of the hanging skin.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.
