Is thigh lift safer?
I’ve never heard of a patient developing lymphedema after liposuction.I don’t think the risk is high at all unless there are other circumstances.Inner thigh, Liposuction tends to not work well because the problem is not a problem of fat distribution but instead a problem of skin laxity and skin redundancy. The skin in this area also has less connective tissue, stabilizing it, and holding it in place like there is on the back of the thigh and outer thigh.I generally turn people down for doing inner thigh liposuction unless they are young and have tight skin.Best,Mats Hagstrom MD
