Will Liposuction work for me or do I need a Mini Thigh Lift? (photos)

Question

I am 45, I do exercise and try to maintain a decent diet. I’ve always had big thighs, always. There is no such thing as thigh gap for me unfortunately but they rub and bother me and I don’t want to wear longer shorts to cover them so they don’t. I’ve been told I’m a candidate for lipo but I’m wondering since it doesn’t tighten if that’s the best thing for me or whether I should look into a mini lift. Obviously less is more and Id rather do least invasive but not at the cost of being unhappy

Dear Fearless469245, 
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Thank you, Fearless469245 for your question and photographs.
 Photographic evaluation is incomplete without personal examination to give the most appropriate answer
 However from the photographs, it seems that,
Your excess fat will get reduced with VASER liposuction and it will also provide a skin-tightening effect. If not then you can go for a mini Thigh lift procedure.

Please consult a board-certified plastic surgeon near you and discuss this in detail.
Wish you an alluring look.

If a plastic surgeon told you that you have good skin tone, then performing liposuction judiciously will produce good results without any need for any other procedures. At the same time if your Plastic surgeon feels that the skin quality is not that great, you can combine liposuction with tissue tightening technology such as J-plasma. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery

Based upon the nicely posted phots I would offer a combination of lipo with mini thigh lift. Fees in the $10,000 ranges. Seek in person or virtual consult.

Good day, thank you for sharing pictures and detailed information, as it seems from pictures you're perfect candidate for upper legs 360 degree laser liposuction, not only thighs. Laser liposuction is minimally invasive procedure(there's no scar left after procedure), which not only removes excess fat, but also tightens skin all in one session. We perform laser liposuction under local tumescent anesthesia(or under sedation, depending on patient). Hope this information will be helpful for your decision, Akif Mehmetoglu,MD.
