Is smart lipo a good idea for upper inner thighs? (Photo)

Laser-assisted liposuction or SmartLipo is an excellent technique for the upper inner thighs in properly selected patients. Based on your photos, it appears that you have a small amount of fat and good skin which is crucial to a good outcome. Of course, a qualified plastic surgeon should make sure in person. The laser helps to emulsify or break up the fat so that smaller cannulas may be used. As you've suggested, this allows the surgeon greater accuracy in an area that is at higher risk for a contour deformity due to the inherent thinness of the skin there. The heat of the laser may also result in skin tightening in some patients which helps the overall result. Obtain a consult from someone who does a large volume of these procedures to see if this is the right operation for what you are looking for and good luck.

Your inner thighs can be contoured adequately with narrow caliber cannulas if the surgeon uses finesse and a conservative technique. It is actually desirable to leave a small amount of fat beneath the skin to prevent wrinkling and contour deformities.

Smartlipo is great for the upper thighs when there isn't too much fat to remove and skin elasticity is good. In your case, you may benefit from the procedure. Of course you'll need to see a surgeon in person to determine if that's true, but you've got a good chance. Best of luck!
