I want to know if lipo on my inner thighs will tighten them or make them saggy. I'm 54 years old.
Answer: Will my inner thighs sag.
Women in general have more subcutaneous fat in their thighs and the upper inner thigh is one of the place where this typically accumulates; this can extend forward to the medial front of the thigh as a contour deformity. The loose attachment to the deeper tissue results in sagging. If the skin does not tighten with liposuction you may require a medial thigh lift. Laser based liposuction such as Smart Lipo can give better results in skin tightening, especially in this area, where the advantages of the small cannula, superficial plane and the improved tightening from the Laser light is an advantage. The quality of your skin or conversely the laxity going into the procedure can be a good predictor of further worsened laxity. Emphasis needs to be on a thorough placement of energy with and minimal tissue removal. Sometimes a medial thigh lift may be necessary.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Saggy skin after lipo on thighs The skin may tighten back up again to a certain extent, a process that is helped along by wearing a compression garment after your surgery. However if you have a lot of loose skin it will not. Sagging can become very noticeable. It all depends on your skin quality.

Answer: Inner Thigh Liposuction and Saggy Skin
Inner Thigh Liposuction should always be peformed conservatively due to risk of skin sagging after surgery. With age the skin does loosen, but age by itself is not a contraindication for the procedure.

Answer: Effect of liposuction on inner thighs An examination would be essential to answer this question. If you have skin laxity, this would be accentuated by the liposuction and you would be trading one issue for another. Depending on your situation, you might need a thigh lift instead. See a board certified plastic surgeon in consultation to evaluate your options.

Answer: Inner thigh liposuction and loose skin Inner thighs can undergo liposuction with caution. In my practice I like using laser liposuction (SmartLipo) in this area to increase skin tightening which is typically needed here. Lots depends on the existing elasticity of your skin regardless of your chronological age. Best of luck.
