Can 150ccs removed from each inner thigh (300cc total) cause loose skin/contour irregularities? (Photo)

Question

I'm in my late 20s & workout a lot. I plan to get inner thigh lipo but I m nervous about potential loose skin/contour irregularities in the thighs. My doctor plans to use my arm & thighs only for my 2nd bbl. He plans to take out only 150cc per each inner thigh. I wanted to know if that amount is enough to cause sagging skin (I never want a thigh lift due to thigh lipo). Also if I ever loose weight in the future, I do not want very skinny legs bc of the lipo. Current pic attached

Contour irregularities can be created if too much is taken from one spot.  However, 150 cc is very small and being in your 20's, your skin should contract nicely.

There is no way to guarantee that you won't have loose skin after the procedure but based on the amount projected to be harvested it appears the risk is relatively low.  If you lose significant weight at some point there is a chance for loose skin regardless if you have liposuction or not.

I'd suggest conservative volume and use an energy source lift VASER ultrasound.  If too much fat is removed the skin will be loose.  Based on the photo you sent you'd be a very good candidate.

Hi! It can, but it most likely wont in your case! Patients bellow 35 have much more collagen and better skin elasticity. Because of your age and build your skin will react well to lipo. No need to worry. 
Best of luck,

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. It is unlikely that this procedure as described will leave you with loose skin or contour issues.
