I have very stubborn fat deposits on my thighs from years of prednisone. While I am guessing that eventually it will need lipo, I'm hoping there are some really effective non-invasive options out there. Any suggestions? What treatments are most effective on that kind of fat in the thigh area?

Answer: Shaping the Thighs with VASER HI DEF 4D Liposculpture, ThermiRF, fat grafting Non-invasive options, like Coolsculpting, are good for removing stubborn areas of fat, but lack body shaping which areas like the thighs need. For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Really effective non-invasive fat reduction. Hi lillybe, thanks for your question. Unfortunately, "really effective non-invasive fat reduction" is sort of a misnomer. Most of the non invasive techniques can deliver up to a modest 20% reduction in a localized fat deposits but sometimes this is even less. They often require multiple treatments and can end up costing much more than liposuction. BUT, the great thing is that they are non-surgical with lower risk profiles across the board. I agree with visiting a board certified plastic surgeon who offers both liposuction and non invasive techniques so you get a honest and unbiased opinion on which technique will be best to meet your surgical goals, match your accepted risk, and fit into your budget! Good luck!
