What Is the Difference Between Inner and Outer Thigh Liposuction?

Thigh fat is something which happens to men and women and is not uncommon. It may remain even after regular exercise and a healthy diet. However, thigh fat does not always collect in the same place. Some people’s bodies have excess fat between their legs. Others experience bulges around the sides of their thighs.

Thigh liposuction will help you with both issues. Treatment plans and shape desired vary, however, for each area. Liposuction of the inner and outer thighs is a very easy procedure when performed by an experienced surgeon.

Inner vs Outer Thigh Liposuction

What is Inner Thigh Liposuction?

Inner thigh liposuction is a surgical procedure that eliminates unnecessary fat between the thighs. This fat may cause the thighs to rub together. It can also impact the way fitted garments fit and feel, as well as the fit of trousers.

What Is Outer Thigh Liposuction?

Fat on the sides of your upper legs is treated with outer thigh liposuction. These deposits are sometimes referred to as “saddlebags”.

The excess fat on the outsides of the thighs can cause a wider appearance in the legs. It can also cause a change in the curve of the hips and legs. Liposuction will flatten and smoothen the outline to eliminate the bulge.

The surgeon must consider the hips, waist, buttocks and legs together. Removing too much fat may make the body look uneven. The aim is to improve proportion, not remove every fat cell.

Outer thigh treatment may be combined with hip liposuction or flank liposuction when needed.

Which Treatment Area Is Right For You?

If fat deposits form between the thighs, you might need inner thigh treatment. This could also be helpful if thigh rubbing leads to pain.

Saddlebags can give the impression of a wider lower body, so if that’s the case, treatment on the outside of your thighs could be your best bet. There are those people who have extra fat in both places. When this happens, the surgeon can perform the inner and outer thighs in the same surgery.

How Does Thigh Liposuction Work?

The surgeon initially explores the thighs and identifies the treatment sites. Depending on the size and number of areas being treated, the choice will be between the two.

The surgeon then makes small incisions. It is disintegrating and eliminating certain fat deposits.

The surgeon blends carefully between the treated and untreated area. This will help to establish a natural contour. As for the incisions, they are either closed or left to drain, depending on the type of surgery.
