I'm 5'4 and 120 pounds but want lipo on my legs to make them skinnier. I'm not fat but want stick legs. Have you seen this done?

I have seen many people who are in good shape come in for liposuction on various parts of their body, including their legs. However, I am not sure what you mean by “skinny.” If you don’t have extra fat in your thighs, liposuction may not be appropriate. It’s also important to note that leg liposuction requires a longer recovery period than lipo in other areas of the body simply because the legs have lots of blood and lymphatic vessels that need to be preserved. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who has successfully reshaped the legs and thighs with liposuction. 

hello ddmayer23 The ideal liposuction patient has localized fat deposits and good skin tone.
If any of the below apply to you, liposuction may be right for you.
Excess fat on the upper or lower abdomen, hips, thighs, neck, back, knees, or arms.Fat is resistant to diet and/or exercise.Problem areas are out of proportion with the rest of your body.Good skin elasticity. Sagging, lose skin is not an issue.At or near your desired body weight. You are not using this procedure for
weight loss.You are healthy and don’t have any medical issues which would preclude
you from having surgery. #legs #petite

This is difficult to answer without pictures. You sound like a candidate for liposuction. For best results, it's recommended to be at your ideal/stable weight when getting liposuction. I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert to go over your desired results. Best, Dr. Emer

Dear ddmayer23,it is hard to tell whether you are a good candidate for legs liposuction without an examination. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Thanks for the question, many of my patients are at an ideal body weight and are looking for that last mile or a fine tuning just to get the exact look that they desire but diet and exercise just wont take them there. I tend to use more energy devices directly into the trouble areas to melt the fat and tighten the skin and just use tiny lipo devices to get rid of the excess fat. These procedures are fast and reliable!

 Actually patients who are of a healthy weight are the best candidates for liposuction. A detailed exam would need to be done but at this point certainly you could see someone to get it evaluated. Good luck. See a board certified plastic surgeon 

It is definitely possible to do liposuction on the thighs, but without any photos or seeing you in person it's impossible to tell if you are a good candidate for the procedure. That being said, liposuction is often performed on patients at or near their ideal weight who only have small areas of stubborn fat that they can't get rid of on their own.It's important to have realistic expectations. The overall circumference of the thighs can be reduced successfully, but depending on your anatomy it may not be possible to achieve "stick" legs. I recommend visiting a board-certified plastic surgeon for an in-person consultation. They will be able to examine you and let you know if you are a good candidate for thigh liposuction and what kind of results you can expect.

There is more that goes into making your legs look big than just the fat. More commonly legs look thick because of the size of the muscles and the way they attach. This being said, it would take a consult with a plastic surgeon to determine what could specifically be done for you.

Thanks for your question, ddmayer23.
First of all, there’s nothing wrong with your request. A lot of people have normal weight but they’re not satisfied with one part of their body.
In general, yes, it’s possible to get a thigh liposuction even if you’re skinny overall. However, we won’t really know for certain if it’s a good fit for you unless we see photos or you go for a physical consultation.
I suggest you consult a reputable and board-certified plastic surgeon for physical evaluation. I offer free initial consultations, which you can schedule on my website.
Best of luck!

It sounds like you want to have your thighs liposuctioned. The good news is that the thighs are very responsive to liposuction. Sometimes only the inner thighs are the problem areas, other times its also the outer thighs and sometime the whole circumference of the thighs need to be treated to achieve the optimal result. If the thighs are your only area of concern you should be an excellent candidate!
