Is It Possible to Remove Fat from Entire Circumference of the Thigh?

Circumferential liposuction can be perfromed but is prone to irregularities. This can be minimized by using smaller cannulas but this may take more time to remove any significant amount of fat. There are also certaiin areas which most experienced surgeons advise extreme caution and this includes the inner and outer portions of the thigh just above the knee as well as the area immediately below the central 1/3 of the buttocks. Excessive liposuction can result in marked skin laxity 

Liposuction all around the thighs is often done and usually includes the lower buttocks and knees in most patients for around $7,000 under local tumescent anesthesia.  Sincerely,

Yes, circumferential liposuction can be effective, but only with careful evaluation and selection of appropriate candidates.  Those with muscular "thunder thighs" may be disappointed with this approach.  With poor elasticity, there may be higher risk of rippling and dimpling.  These variables are best discussed at time of examination with your surgeon.
