How Many Liposuction Sessions Can Be Done on the Legs?

I would proceed with Hidef liposuction revision to remove excess fat and smooth out the contours of the legs and thighs. This may include the Brazilian Cellulite Treatment. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

With Liposuction, you can actually can have more than 1 session done. When liposuction
surgery is done obviously the fat underneath the skin surface is sucked out so it’s actually a
spot reduction of fat from certain areas like the thighs or the leg area, if weight is gained back
Those areas do have less fat cells there now, but this can increased in size and again balloon
up. If that happens a Liposuction can be done again. The factors to consider when you go in for
a secondary Liposuction, there is some more scar tissue in that area so the results may not be
as predictable and you actually may not lose as much size as you hoped to because you do have
scar tissue. The second thing to remember is, if you go back in again you have to be careful that
you are left with a smooth contour because now there is less fat cells in that area and there is a
chance of irregularity of the skin, and the third is when liposuction is repeated, obviously your
skin needs to be in good condition so it can shrink back and if it’s already loose the first time can
get actually more loose the second time. Those are generally the issues to consider. Also, if a
Liposuction needs to be repeated, I usually recommend that the patient wait at least a year for
the swelling and the scar tissue are settle down.

It is possible to repeat liposuction multiple times, but it shouldn't be necessary.  Since your thighs got bigger only after gaining weight, I would recommend waiting until you lose that weight before considering another liposuction procedure.  Technically, liposuction becomes a little more difficult each time it's repeated because there is scar tissue from previous procedures.
