Best type of liposuction for saddlebag area?

Dear ormamaof3,


it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

In your case — being generally fit with some stubborn fat in the saddlebag (outer thigh) and inner thigh areas — the most effective and least invasive liposuction method would typically be Vaser Liposuction.
Vaser Liposuction uses ultrasound technology to selectively target and emulsify fat cells without damaging surrounding tissues. This offers several benefits:
More precise and smooth body contouring
Less bruising, swelling, and faster recovery compared to traditional liposuction
Skin tightening effect, which is particularly helpful in the 40s and beyond
It’s also safe and effective in delicate areas like the inner thighs. In many cases, the procedure can be done under local anesthesia with minimal downtime. However, the final decision should follow an in-person consultation and full body assessment to determine if you're an ideal candidate.

Thank you for your inquiry! Liposuction to the outer thighs is the most effective way. We would love to meet and discuss your concerns. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your goals.
