Thigh liposuction

Thigh liposuction

Excess adipose tissue in thigh area is extremely difficult to correct using traditional methods of  losing weight. Diets, massages, exercises are useless in most cases. The most effective way to get rid of subcutaneous fat is liposuction. This is a surgical intervention that allows you to get rid of the unattractive “riding breeches”.

Thigh liposuction can be carried out by a highly – qualified plastic surgeon in Kiev Andrey Kharkov.

Indications for thigh liposuction

The main goal of surgery is the desire to change the appearance. This operation can be part of a comprehensive body shaping program. It can also be performed to remove excess fat deposits in a specific area (for example, liposuction of the “ears” in the thigh area).

     Thus, thigh liposuction is indicated in case of:

• Physical discomfort.
• Body imbalances.
• Pronounced locality of fat deposits.

The operation is resorted to in cases when it is not possible to achieve the desired result with the help of diet and intense physical activity.

Particular features of thigh liposuction

Thigh liposuction is a rather serious intervention in the body. That is why, before setting the date of the operation, plastic surgeons conduct a preliminary consultation and prescribe a number of examinations and tests.

Among the standard list of analyzes:

1. Blood tests (general, biochemical, sugar analysis).
2. Analysis of urine.
3. Tests for hepatitis, HIV, syphilis.

You will also need an ECG, coagulogram, fluorography.

Any specific conditions, diseases, as well as the drugs taken, must be taken into consideration by a specialist. Additional tests may be needed.

Plastic surgeons distinguish liposuction of the upper third of the outer side and the inner side of the thighs. In both the first and second cases, the seam is hidden in the gluteal fold. Six months after  the surgery the seam becomes almost invisible.

Inner thigh liposuction

It is used in exceptional cases. This surgery is quite traumatic. This zone contains many lymphatic and blood vessels.

         Correction of the outer third of the thigh

This is a more popular option for thigh liposuction. With the help of thigh liposuction, you can get rid of “breeches” (corrections with the help of sports and diets are not available).

Thigh liposuction consists of two stages. At the first stage, fatty tissue is liquefied. For this, special medical preparations are introduced. In the second step, excess fat is removed through small punctures. In one procedure, up to two liters of adipose tissue is “pumped out”.

The peculiarity of thigh liposuction is that the skin in this area is not elastic. In some cases, liposuction and thigh lift are combined to achieve the best result.

The duration of the surgery in the clinic of Andrey Kharkov is 60 minutes. Thigh liposuction can be performed under local or general anesthesia.

Alternative liposuction methods include combined liposuction and vibration liposuction.

Combined liposuction is a combination of vibration and laser liposuction. Thanks to this variant of liposuction, a double effect is provided: significant weight loss and tightening of the skin.

During vibration liposuction, the surgeon injects a special solution into the subcutaneous tissue, which destroys the fat cells. The emulsified fat is then removed from the tissues by means of a special vibrating cannula.

Rehabilitation period

During the first days after the surgery, the patient stays in the hospital of the clinic under the supervision  of Andrey Kharkov. After that rehabilitation continues at home (the main stage lasts 10-12 days).

In the first few days after liposuction of thighs, there is a slight soreness, swelling, and bruising. These phenomena are quite natural and go away on their own in a week.

The stitches are not removed after the operation. Special compression garments should be worn for three weeks.

The rehabilitation period is associated with certain restrictions. This is, first of all, refusal from intensive sports, visits to saunas, baths, solarium.

will be able to observe the first results of thigh liposuction within a month or a month and a half after the operation. As for the final result, it is formed in six months.

The obtained effect lasts for at least five years. It should be remembered that thigh liposuction removes fat deposits, but does not prevent them from re-accumulating.

To maintain a flawless figure, it is necessary to adhere to proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. To accelerate the recovery period after liposuction of the inner thighs, magnetic and microcurrent therapy, lymphatic drainage, and LPG massage are used.
