I am 5'2 and weigh 210 lbs. I am considering loosing weight to get down to 190-200 lbs, but overall I like my weight, just NOT my heavy thighs. I had the gastric sleeve 6 years ago and gained some of the weight back due to severe back pain, but even when I lost weight from the sleeve, my thighs were still very large. Also, how much does large volume liposuction cost?
Answer: Thigh Liposuction vs Thigh Lift A thigh lift is most useful when skin excess or laxity exists. Fullness with taut skin usually responds well to liposuction. Of course, skin laxity can also result from liposuction and necessitate a thigh lift. I would recommend liposuction initially combined with weight loss and subsequent assessment for the need for thigh lift.

Answer: Weight Loss First! I recommend you do as you suggested. Focus on weight loss first! Once you reach your goal weight, look at your legs again. These pictures will help for comparison. Large volume liposuction can be done but you will be left with lots of extra skin that will then have to be excised. Consider the approach staged. The 2 surgeries will likely need to be separated by at least 6 months. You will likely pay $8-10,000 per surgery to see a modest improvement. Weight loss is a much better approach that surgical body contouring. Best wishes.
