I don't like the bulkiness of my thighs. They have gotten bigger have after two babies and gaining between 40-50 pounds each pregnancy. I have stretch marks also. If I get lipo to the inner thigh, do you think my skin will be wrinkly or saggy afterwards? My goal or end result is to have a nice gap between the thighs with a slimmer look. Will lipo achieve this for me? Thank you.

Answer: Liposuction of the medial thigh
Liposuction of the medial thigh can be difficult because of skin laxity and the potential for contour irregularities. That said it is a common area to treat in this fashion. Another option that I frequently use on the inner thigh is CoolSculpting which is non-invasive and less likely to produce contour issues- you can find a local plastic surgeon that offers both and see what he or she recommends!

Answer: Inner thigh is tricky
The inner thigh is a tricky area for liposuction. The skin is thinner there and is more sensitive than other areas. Compare it to your outer thigh. Thin skin will show liposuction irregularities easier than thick skin. Think what happens when you cover a chair with a thin sheet versus a thick rug. When you wear a swimsuit your inner thighs are right next to each other and any differences can be easily seen. This area has good blood supply and small tender blood clots can form which can be nuisance when they bump at every step. The best candidate for this has quite good skin tone in this area. This should only be done by an experienced plastic surgeon.
