Body contouring procedures have become increasingly popular and can help men and women recontour their body in adulthood. If you have stubborn areas of fatty accumulation that are more resistant to diet and exercise, you may be a candidate for body sculpting liposuction performed at Kare Plastic Surgery in Santa Monica. Liposuction remains one of the most popular procedures in cosmetic surgery and allows patients to slim and toned their waist line, back, arms, and legs using this minimally invasive and highly coveted procedure.

Among the most common areas to have liposuction performed is the waist line and stomach area. This makes liposuction an excellent alternative to a tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck. If you have had fluctuations in weight, you may benefit by recontouring the waistline and abdomen using liposuction. Patient with excessive skin in the lower abdomen from childbirth or from excessive weight loss may not respond well to liposuction because the extra skin will continue to hang. In these patients, and abdominal plasty procedure is preferred.

Many patients specifically request liposuction on the inner thighs, which is known to be a very stubborn area, even with consistent diet and exercise. You're definitely not alone in feeling frustrated. These areas tend to hold onto fat despite a healthy lifestyle, which is why liposuction is such a popular solution. The best next step is to meet with one of our surgeons to confirm you're a good candidate and create a personalized plan for you.

Hello dear. Yes, it is possible to perform traditional liposuction on the inner thighs. This is a very common area where localized fat accumulates and doesn't respond easily to diet or exercise. Liposuction can remove this excess and achieve a slimmer contour. You can contact us at 829-554-6062 for a more detailed evaluation.

Hi and thank you for your question. You could definitely benefit from inner thigh liposuction to minimize the fat in that area. This could be done under either general or local anesthesia. One of the benefits of local anesthesia is that it is less costly and has a shorter recovery period. Please consult with a Board-Certified plastic surgeon who is skilled in liposuction procedures. Good luck to you!
