Considering liposuction of the thighs. Looking for the most effective treatment for significant reduction? (photo)

Question

I’m fifty years old. I am a significant pear shape. 5’3, 130. Go to the gym 6 days per week - kick boxing and weight training. Skin tans well, rarely burns, has good elasticity. If I’m going to undergo a treatment, I would like to see dramatic results.

Thank you for your question! Based on your photo, you are a candidate for liposuction of the inner and outer thighs. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon, who can assess you in person and create a personalized plan for you. Best of luck!

You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best. The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heats the skin with radiofrequency devices such as Renuvion (J-Plasma), InMode BodyTite, and ThermiRF to heat the undersurface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HI-DEF VASER Liposuction and can only be done by a well-trained body contouring specialist. At the same time, fat should be harvested and purified, with PRP and stem cells added, and then injected into muscles, indentations and cellulite to get body shaping and contouring. For a Brazilian butt lift (BBL), we inject the fat into the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face. Cellulite should also be treated with a combination of Cellfina, subcision, and/or fillers such as Bellafill, Renuva synthetic fat, or Sculptra. If skin is very loose before surgery, then it will need to be removed: tummy tuck/abdominoplasty for lower abdominal skin; breast lift for excess breast skin; and/or a brachioplasty for loose arm skin. 
Overall, you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Based on your information and photo you appear to be a good candidate for liposuction to your thighs. Fat can be removed to strategically sculpt the body and accentuate feminine curves.  The skin then retracts over the new shape to give the final result.That said, you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.  A key quality indicator is Board Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.  Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Hi and welcome to our forum!From your photos, you appear to have fat repositories of the upper 1/2 of your thighs on both inner and outer aspects. Your BMI is 23, considered "normal" weight. You appear to be an excellent candidate for inner and outer thigh liposuction. Visit a board certified plastic surgeon for in-person evaluation and discussion.Best wishes...

Dear joole,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you might benefit from thigh liposuction. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

BodyTite is capable of producing a 45% contraction in tissues; it can be done in conjunction with or without liposuction. BodyTite is used for treatment of all body areas with large volume to tighten skin on arms, abdomen (in conjunction with liposuction), knees, inner thighs, and bra rolls.  Results can be seen immediately after one treatment and are more evident over three to six months post-treatment. Wait until six months to fully evaluate the aesthetic results. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed examination.  Look at before and after photos on the PS's website to determine if BodyTite and lipo would provide the results you are seeking.

With good skin elasticity, you would be a good candidate for liposuction of the thighs if you are in good health. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn what options are available to you. Good luck.

Liposuction would be the first and is the best option for you after looking at the photo, however an in person exam would be the best way to tell how much could safely be removed. I would go see a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss all the options as others include Cool Sculpting, skin tightening procedures such as medial thigh lift, thermitight, Renuvion and others.
