Would I be a good candidate for anterior thigh liposuction? (Photo)

Anterior thigh liposuction must be performed by a high definition body contouring specialist who utilizes both VASER liposuction and Renuvion J plasma skin tightening. Please consider a virtual consultation with a high definition body contouring specialist to get a definitive recommendation.

Thank you for your question and for sharing your pictures regarding the possibility of anterior thigh liposuction. Indeed, a thorough physical examination and consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is essential to assess your suitability accurately.
You might be a suitable candidate for anterior thigh liposuction if you are below 45 years of age, do not have a history of significant weight loss (greater than 70 kg), possess skin without stretch marks on your thighs, and have minimal sun damage to the skin in that area. If you fulfill these criteria, it’s likely that you can achieve good results with anterior thigh liposuction.
It's crucial to adhere to postoperative care protocols like wearing a medical-grade compression garment for at least six weeks and undergoing lymphatic massages starting one to two weeks post-surgery, to promote healing and minimize complications.
However, if you do not meet the aforementioned criteria, there could be risks involved, including skin irregularities, waviness, indentations, and uneven healing post-surgery.
I hope this provides some clarity on the prerequisites for being considered a good candidate for anterior thigh liposuction. Please consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss your individual circumstances and to gain a comprehensive understanding of the procedure, risks, and benefits. Best wishes on your journey!
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

Dear Dazzling13202,
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.

Thanks for your question.
Yes, definitely you are a good candidate for a anterior thigh liposuction

An examination is needed to see if you have excess fat, or is it muscle volume. If you do have excess fat, liposuction can be done.

An in person evaluation is best, but from the provided photos it does appear you are a candidate for anterior liposuction. Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation to discuss your surgical goals. I've included a video on liposuction that I hope you find helpful.

A physical examination would allow us to more accurately answer your questions. But from your photos, it does appear that you would do well with just liposuction alone.

Delivering consistent quality, liposuction, results is more difficult than most people realize. Lower extremities are technically more difficult than other parts of the body. It looks like you have good skin tone, and this would be in your favor. The amount of change is directly related to how thick your subcutaneous fat layer is.
Generally, speaking, lower extremity liposuction tends to create more subtle impact than people expect. It is imperative to choose a provider who has sufficient scaler experience to minimize having contour deformities or being left disfigured.
To get an accurate assessment, and begin the process of finding the right provider, I suggest having multiple in person consultations. There is a remarkabl difference in outcomes among different providers, including board-certified plastic surgeons with years of experience. Having the right credentials does not mean that somebody has mastered any single procedure, including Liposuction.
during each consultation, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before and after pictures of previous patient, who had similar body characteristics to your own. And experience provider should have no difficulty showing in the before and after pictures of at least 50 previous patients.
Continue having consultations until you feel confident you found someone who can deliver consistent quality results based on what seems like an endless collection of before and after pictures.
Best,
