Liposuction, lift or tightening - which procedure would be best for targeting thigh laxity, cellulite and knee fat? (photo)

Thanks so much for your question,
To address thigh laxity, cellulite, and knee fat, different procedures target specific issues, and sometimes a combination of treatments may yield the best results
.
Liposuction is great for eliminating stubborn fat pockets, particularly around the knees and Front/inner thighs. However, it does not address skin laxity or cellulite.

BodyTite (radiofrequency-assisted liposuction), J-plasma or PRP, can improve skin laxity by stimulating collagen production. Also, CELLFINA treatment specifically target cellulite by breaking up the fibrous bands beneath the skin that cause dimpling and can be combined with liposuction or skin tightening.

Consulting with a plastic surgeon who can assess your individual situation and recommend a tailored approach is the best way to determine the right combination of procedures.

Sincerely,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol

Thank you for your inquiry! Based on the photos, you have options. We would love to sit down with you to discuss your concerns and make a plan together. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon.

You have skin laxity already. You will need a thigh lift. Liposuction will not solve the problem.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

I encourage you to explore BodyTite. This minimally invasive procedure uses RF technology to tighten skin. It is performed in the office surgical suite and requires no general anesthesia. I've included a video on this procedure that I hope you find helpful.

Liposuction to the inner knees and skin tightening like Renuvion could be helpful to improve your knees and thighs. To be more specific, you will need to submit better photos, standing with both legs straight, anterior and posterior views.
