Experience the elegance of perfectly contoured thighs with Imagen’s advanced liposuction technology, where our renowned specialists target stubborn fat deposits that diet and exercise can’t touch.
The ideal candidate for thigh lipo is in generally good health and near to their ideal weight. If you have a BMI of over 30, you will get a better result from your plastic surgery if you work on general weight loss first.
To determine if you’re an ideal candidate for thigh liposuction, ask yourself these questions:
Many women are hoping to obtain a thigh gap through lipo. Whether this is an attainable goal depends on what your anatomy is like naturally. Some patients have more muscular inner thighs and will never be able to attain a thigh gap. The amount of fat that can be removed will vary from person to person and not everyone will get the same result. For most women, a thigh gap when your feet are together looks unnatural. There should be some space between your inner thighs when you stand with your feet shoulder width apart and this may be a reasonable exception for results depending on how you are built.
At Imagen, all liposuction procedures are personally performed by our board-certified physicians, who specialize in advanced body contouring techniques. Unlike some facilities where technicians or assistants handle aspects of your consultation and procedure, our renowned doctors are with you throughout your entire transformation journey. Meet our team.
On the day of your procedure, you should come to the office wearing loose-fitting clothes that can be easily removed. We will take your “Before“ photos and do consent paperwork, then check your vitals. The surgeon will review your pre-op vitals and answer any last-minute questions and then give you an oral sedative. All of our liposuction treatments are done under local anesthesia, so there are none of the risks associated with general anesthesia. Once you’re sleepy, the surgeon will make small incisions and then instill the tumescent numbing solution. Dr Frank will use the SmartLipo laser to melt and break up the fat cells and then use a small suction cannula for fat removal. The final step in the procedure is the Renuvion, which uses helium and radio frequency technology for tissue contraction. Your incisions will be dressed and we will help you into a compression garment and go over the post operative instructions again.
You will return to the office for follow up visits the next day, at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months.
Because it is a surgical procedure, there will be some discomfort. With the oral sedation and local numbing, most patients tolerate the treatment very well (in fact many don’t even remember the procedure!). After the lipo, there will be some discomfort as well. Most patients describe it as an ache, similar to a deep bruise. Most patients are back to normal activity (other than high impact exercise) after just 2-3 days.
Most patients experience some slight-to-mild discomfort in the treatment area for a few days after thigh liposuction. The pain usually decreases after the second or third day and by a week most patients have little to no remaining discomfort. Numbness is normal and expected and can last for several months. We recommend that you plan at least two days of recovery time following the procedure. You will be wearing a compression garment that will help the tissues to stabilize and control bruising and swelling. You will have some drainage for the first 24-48 hours after the procedure, which is normal. The small incisions will heal and fade with time. We ask that patients avoid any high impact exercise for a few weeks after their procedure, but you can go back to walking and light weight training right away. Most patients are fully recovered and back to their regular exercise routine within a few weeks after surgery.
If you don’t have excessive fat and you have good skin integrity, CoolSculpting can be a great noninvasive treatment for inner thigh volume reduction. The treatment doesn’t require any down time or compression garments and can be cost effective as well!
Thigh liposuction starts at $3,790 depending on how many areas you want to have treated. The price on your proposal is all-inclusive, meaning there are no hidden fees.
