I Want to Have Liposuction Done on my Inner Thighs, but I Have Stretchmarks There.

Medial thigh liposuction is a very successful procedure that benefits many patients.

The caveats:  Liposuction won't tighten the skin, so if the skin is loose, say from massive weight loss, liposuction results may be disappointing.

Also, the patient's entire figure must be considered, not just the one area.  Would liposuction just in the medial thighs cause the leg to look blocky?  Often adjacent areas can be done as well to avoid this.

Stretchmarks usually respond somewhat to lasers, with repeated treatments of fractional lasers giving the best results.

Most doctors now use tumescent anesthesia in some form.  Depending on the tolerance of the patient, this can be performed under local anesthesia alone, local anesthesia with sedation, or a light general anesthesic.

For larger cases, or cases where the patient's tolerance for discomfort is low, sedation or a light general anesthesic are options.

Liposuction can definitely get rid of the fat in your thighs, however if you have loose skin it will become more apparent, which would hide your results.  It will not improve your stretch marks, but that doesn't mean it's not appropriate for you. Please see an experienced board certified plastic surgeon for a physical examination to determine the most suitable treatment. You may need a thigh lift instead.

You are still a good candidate for liposuction, regardless of your stretch marks. The liposuction may not improve the appearance of your stretch marks, but you are still young so your skin may retract (tighten up).
