How do I improve fat on the back of my thighs? (photo)

Thank you for your question regarding how to improve the fat on the back of your thighs. Thank you for your history and your pictures as well. I would strongly suggest you lose weight. This is the best way to lose fat on your thighs and tighten up the skin. It will also give you the best results. If for some reason you cannot lose the weight with diet and exercise, I would suggest Morpheus 8. This will help to dissolve some of the fat as well as tighten the skin. If that does not work, I would consider liposuction. However, your chosen plastic surgeon must be experienced in performing thigh liposuction. The danger is that with liposuction on your thighs, you could remove too much fat, which could lead to your legs appearing worse with more wrinkles than there are now. I would not recommend cool sculpting as it may yield irregular results. Thank you for your question regarding what to do with the fat on the back of your thighs.

Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

The gold standard for fat reduction, thigh or otherwise, is liposuction. However, fat in the posterior thigh helps support the buttock and therefore, should not be done aggressively or by someone who is unfamiliar with the procedure.If the fat is truly dense, an adjunctive form of liposuction, such as ultrasound-assisted ie Vaser, is a great way to improve fat removal and tighten the skin, although, it must be understood, that fat removal in this area may make cellulite worse.Before undertaking liposuction in this area, make sure you do not have varicose veins (bluish tent), which may increase your bleeding risk or make post-operative swelling worse.

Nice 1 posted photo. 2 options: 1. injections over 3-6 months of KyBella fee en toto $6,000. 2. minor surgery via superficial liposculpturing under local anesthesia or with IV sedation, 1 session fee $4,000. Best to virtual consult with...

Your thighs do not have issues related to fat distribution. The contour on the back of your thigh is cellulite, which is due to connective tissue that helps stabilize anchor and control skin mobility on pressure bearing areas.
The bluish discoloration is most likely due to visibility of superficial veins possible varicosities on Caucasian skin that had reduced elasticity and thinning due to age.
Liposuction is not going to give you a smooth fine contour, and can if anything make the contour worse.
Cellulite is notoriously difficult to treat, especially with quality long-term success. Individual areas of cellulite can be improved with Subsicion or Subsicion combined with volume augmentation.
There’s no single simple procedure to improve middle-aged flabby thighs.
As unhelpful as that may sound, I think it’s better than being told otherwise, and having unnecessary procedures or procedures that end up making things worse.
Other providers may be far more optimistic, but I would insist on seeing lots and lots of before, and after pictures of previous patients, who look just like you before spending hard, earned money, or having procedures that have potential risk involved.
