28, female, 5'1, 100lbs, are my ideal legs attainable? (Photos)

Hello, cupcake95,

Thank you for reaching out with your inquiry, and providing both your medical history and photographs for clarity.

Given your unique specifications, achieving your ideal leg contour may be partially feasible. For someone with your profile, many plastic surgeons, including myself, would likely recommend VASER liposuction targeting both thighs and calves. This procedure would be comprehensive, encompassing the entirety of your thigh and calf areas (circumferential).

Here's a general breakdown of what to expect:

Procedure Duration: Approximately 3 to 4 hours.
Anesthesia: General anesthesia is preferred for your comfort and safety.
Recovery: Depending on the nature of your job:
A predominantly seated role: Anticipate returning after approximately three weeks.
A role requiring extended periods of standing: A recovery period closer to four weeks is recommended.
Areas of Focus: Given your photos, your upper, outer, and inner thighs seem to be where you predominantly retain fat. These regions should be the primary focus of the liposuction.
Cost Variables: The expense associated with liposuction can differ based on geographic location, the surgeon's expertise, and other factors. To get an idea of the potential investment, I advise consulting with multiple plastic surgeons to understand the range of prices in your area.
In conclusion, while the idealized results you might be picturing may not be wholly achievable, significant improvements towards your goal are certainly within reach. I hope this response offers clarity about the feasibility of achieving your preferred leg contour and the path to do so. Best wishes on your journey.

Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

At 5'1 and 100 lbs, your BMI is 18.5. Liposuction may be done but may leave you with contour deformities. Only a minimal amount of fat could be removed. The cost is usually $4,000 for 1 hour.

Best Wishes,

Shaping legs is for the true lipo artist. You can get an amazing result but you will need 2 lipo procedures done under local and the addition of bodytite and Morpheus at the same time. One procedure would be the thighs and knees and the other procedure would be the calves and ankles done just 1 day apart. It is too much to do in only 1 surgery if you want the best results. Getting them done under local with a little iv sedation for complete comfort allows me to have you stand up and turn and get fine tuned right then and there easily. Shaping the calves really would make such a huge improvement and is easy to undergo. Cost is on special for roughly $10,000 per procedure and is so worth it.

You have nice, petite frame which requires minimal change. Only a very experienced board certified plastic surgeon with excellent reputation in body contouring will be able to provide subtle change that you desire. Do not settle for one consultation. Price would depend of surgeons reputation and location. Hope this helps.

You should do well with liposuction of your outer and inner thighs. This could be done under general anesthesia or awake in the office. Please meet with a board-certified plastic surgeon and discuss your options and concerns. Costs vary depending upon the location and how it is done.

From your photos it appears you are a good candidate for liposuction. This would help to sculpt and define your curves to match your petite frame. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to discuss your goals and learn more about the procedure.

Delivering consistent quality, liposuction results is more difficult than most people realize. The number of Plastic surgeons who have mastered this procedure are in the small minority. Liposuction can leave people disfigured if done poorly and improving on poorly done Liposuction is extremely difficult and sometimes not possible.
Lower extremity liposuction is probably the most technically difficult area of the body’s. Young women with tight skin have the best potential for improvements. In the hands of the right provider good results are possible on individuals who are good candidates.
Patient, considering lower extremity liposuction should be extremely selective when it comes to finding providers. I suggest patients have multiple in person consultations before considering scheduling surgery. During each consultation, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before and after pictures of previous patients, who had similar lower extremity characteristics to your own.
An experienced plastic surgeon should have no difficulty showing you the before and after pictures of at least 50 previous patients. Take careful notes during each consultation, especially regarding quantity and quality of before and after pictures.
Considering how much variation there is a Liposuction skill and the consequences of Choosing the wrong provider I suggest patients start the process by having at least five in person consultations before considering scheduling surgery.
Best,

Hello,Lipo in your inner thighs using bodytite, a fractionated radio-frequency technology used to retract the skin, is recommended to achieve the desired result.
