I'm looking for a solution to finally get rid of my saddlebags. I'm looking for the best method to spot reduce fat in that area and the inner thighs. I'm concerned about skin laxity and wondering- does liposuction make your butt look too square?
Answer: Solution for saddlebags of the outer thighs “Saddlebags” are localized fat deposits of the outer thigh region . They can be small and liposuction can be quite effective correcting this contour deformity if a patient has good skin tone.”spot reduction” is what liposuction does best and why it was first introduced, unfortunately , too many patients look to liposuction for weight loss. For “spot reduction” , good skin tone and minor to moderate amount of fat to be removed are prerequisites for aesthetically pleasing outcomes.If the fat collection is larger, and/or the patient has less than ideal skin quality, liposuction MUST be combined with a lifting procedure in order to produce proper contour and smooth skin. This applies to both medial/inner thighs and lateral thighs. The scars from these surgical lifting procedures can be well hidden under the bathing suit or underwear. Without a surgical lifting procedure, liposuction by itself will result in de-stabilized, sagging skin and a contour depression. In the inner thighs, this deformity is known as a “shark bite deformity”, and this is an accurate description as to what liposuction of the inner thighs can lookLike if too much fat is removed or liposuction is performed in a patient with poor skin quality. The skin can only retract so much following liposuction.Your surgeon must know the limitations of liposuction and also have the knowledge & surgical ability to perform these combination procedures when indicated. Start the process by consulting with experienced Board certified Plastic Surgeons . Be wary of those advertising theme selves as “certified cosmetic surgeons” . (There are no legitimate “board certified Cosmetic surgeons”.) Check out the new laws passed in California which prohibits non Board Certified Plastic Surgeons from advertising themselves as such, included “cosmetic surgeons”. All to say, be sure with whoever you decide to have your procedure to treat your saddlebags and inner thighs is qualified to do so . Once the deformities which I have discussed occur, they are exceeding difficult to fully correct. The best way of handling cosmetic surgery complications is to avoid them in the first place.

Answer: Saddlebag treatment The examination determines skin laxity in the saddlebag and inner thighs. All treatments that reduce fat can result in laxity issues especially if there is poor quality skin, weight loss, or both. In those cases you might look better in tight clothes but be disappointed in the appearance naked. Trusculpt 3D can remove 30% of the fat layer and has a small amount of skin tightening due to the radiofrequency. Like the other non invasive treatments, about 20% of patients will not see improvement. Liposuction is the definitive treatment for fat reduction, and although claims have been made of the superiority of one method of liposuction over another, there has been no definitive proof that one method has better skin tightening. In fact, one study showed the laser liposuction had more complications, but no better tightening than standard tumescent liposuction
