I am 5'9 feet tall and my weight is 123 pounds. I try to workout, eat healthy food; however, I can't get rid off this inner thigh fat I hate so much. Is liposuction the only to get rid of it?
Answer: My thighs are giving each other high fives Thank you for your photos and your background information, it really helps when trying to give advice on plastic surgical procedures! In my practice, I would have 2 main options for someone like yourself; coolsculpting vs liposuction. You appear to be in very good shape and the amount of fat of your inner thighs is minimal. However, I do notice that your inner thighs do make contact (minimal) but that is something that more and more women are being bothered by. More and more women are like yourself, in that they want that "gap." The procedure of choice would depend on how much of a difference you are wanting. If you think you will be happy with a small gap then Coolsculpting is great because it is noninvasive! No surgery, no downtime, no incisions and you can literally go back to your normal life right away! The only thing is that the final result can be different in different people, it can take anywhere between 2-4 months before you start to see a result and if you need a 2nd treatment then the cost may end up being the same as if you would have just got liposuction performed. I believe the best, most reliable treatment for fat reduction is liposuction. You start to see the results right away and I feel like I can really get a good result by liposuctioning the inner thighs from the front and the back. I think you will have a good result either way but would suggest you be evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon who not only performs liposuction but also does coolsculpting. I hope this helps and good luck with your journey!Ankur Mehta MD

Answer: Don't see an indication for liposuction in this patient. In the photograph legs appear to be shapely. The skin is in good condition and I don't see an indication for doing liposuction.

Answer: Can I achieve an Inner Thigh Gap with liposuction or any other cosmetic procedure? Thank you for the question.As others have mentioned, you may consider cool sculpting. Your thighs touch in a very small area, so it's possible that even a minor improvement will achieve your goal. Assuming that you have skin of excellent quality liposuction can also be performed on your inner thigh.In person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon will be the most helpful. They will be a will to discuss all of your options, so that you can decide how best to proceed.

Answer: Can I achieve an Inner Thigh Gap with liposuction or any other cosmetic procedure? Hello sityvauser,Thanks for your question.Liposuction can certainly improve the inner thigh. Other options include non-invasive fat removal and mesotherapy. Liposuction would be a single treatment, while the other options take more than one treatment.The limiting factor to the improvement would be how thick your inner thigh muscles (adductors) are.I would speak with a liposuction specialist in your area for more information.Good luck,Dr. Shah

Answer: Liposuction - Inner Thighs Thank you for your question. You appear to be in excellent shape. It is possible to have inner thigh fat resistant to diet and exercise. It is best to have an in-person examination with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine if you have sufficient fat present along the inner thighs to undergo liposuction. Hope this helps and good luck.
