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!

I agree that you are in shape. The only way you can reasonably sculpt and shrink your inner thighs is with liposculpting. The laser helps for sure, but a tiny power assisted cannula is the key for the smoothest result. 

Smartlipo on thighs works amazing if done properly by the right physician.  It can be used to tighten skin and to remove fat.  I often combine this treatment with Velashape or Venus Legacy to enhance the skin tightening and contouring.  Seek someone who is an expert so you get the best treatment and have less risk of any complications as this area is very difficult and challenging to treat.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thanks for the question, yes I think liposuction and the addition of the laser could help reach your goals, best to visit a local board certified surgeon!

SmartLipo is a
great procedure to treat areas with extraordinary precision. This technology
allows you to be steps ahead of traditional lipo with the use of the laser
assisted cannula; you will achieve optimal body contouring results. I suggest
you have a full consultation with a qualified physician to map out your
cosmetic journey. 

Smartlipo (laser-assisted liposuction using 1440 nm wavelength)  is good for upper thighs in my experience.I feel it is a good choice and a reasonable option for you.The Smartlipo laser, with my technique, utilizes heat to melt the fat and also skin tightening can be performed at the same time.  Since the fat is emulsified, it permits me to then use a small cannula to harvest the fat by suction techniques-after the laser liposuction step is completed.  The inner thigh is a tricky area to liposuction, as the skin is much thinner, but good outcomes can be achieved.  Some plastic surgeons are not comfortable with doing traditional liposuction or laser liposuction of the inner thighs.  I am comfortable with Smartlipo of this area, with proper patient selection and education to the patient of realistic expectations.  

In areas wear the skin tone is somewhat less than ideal, an energy assisted liposuction, either Smart lipo (laser) or Vaser lipo (ultrasound) can help remove fat with less trauma and can help tone the overlying skin. From your photos, I believe you would be a good candidate.
