Inner & Outer Thigh Liposculpture

Too embarrassed to wear shorts?  Tired of your thighs rubbing together?

If you answered yes to the above, then you should consider thigh liposculpture.  No matter how much exercise you do or how closely you watch your diet, most women are simply genetically predisposed to accumulate fat in the thighs and legs.  Occasionally, some men struggle with the same problem.

Inner and outer thigh liposculpture is specifically designed for people who want to get rid of flabby thighs, saddlebags, and inner thighs that rub together.  You can choose to live with the genetic hand that was dealt to you, or you can treat the problem permanently with liposculpture.  Pacific Liposculpture’s quick and easy procedure will remove fat and tighten the skin, giving you smaller, smoother and younger looking legs.  So why wait?  Many people can return to work the following day with not only slimmer, sleeker thighs, but a renewed outlook on life and an improved self-image.

Today’s Tumescent Liposculpture vs. Yesterday’s Traditional Liposuction

Author: Rodney Davis, Physician Assistant

Not very long ago, getting the shape that you always wanted required invasive surgery that almost certainly resulted in significant postoperative pain, obvious bruising, an increased risk of complications – not to mention an extended recovery time. Yesterday’s liposuction was risky, difficult, and surprisingly is still practiced  by most plastic surgeons who offer liposuction as just one of the several different procedures that they try to squeeze into an already exhaustive list of other cosmetic services. Liposuction is considered a major surgery, sometimes resulting in serious complications in the operating room, causes major bruising, and unsightly scars. This was and remains an aggressive procedure that produces deep bruises and sometimes requires stitches. This in turn can lead to increased scar formation.

Rod Davis, PA-C

Today’s tumescent liposuction, also known as Liposculpture, is a much safer procedure with minimal downtime.  Liposculpture is an advanced form of liposuction that leads to gentler body sculpting and more precise results. Unlike traditional liposuction with general anesthesia, liposculpture patients remain awake while their fat is removed with very tiny instruments. And, because Liposculpture doesn’t use the same heavy sedatives as traditional liposuction, most patients are able to walk out of the treatment offices immediately following the procedure. A good portion of liposculpture patients are able to return to most activities in 1 to 2 days. The tumescent liposuction procedure also stimulates the collagen-producing agents in skin, leaving skin firmer and smoother.

Liposculpture is less invasive. Most areas of the body require only 1 to 2 tiny incisions. The cannula, or straw-like tool that is used to suck out fat, is only 2-3 millimeters wide –that’s about the size of a cooked piece of spaghetti. The incisions resulting from the procedure are barely noticeable after only a few weeks. Because the cannulas are so much
smaller than the ones used in traditional liposuction, you won’t experience the unsightly scars that sometimes accompany traditional liposuction.

Liposculpture is more gentle. When using larger instruments in
traditional liposuction, providers generally make larger, more aggressive strokes while removing fat. Liposculpture uses smaller cannulas, all procedures are performed with shorter, gentler strokes. Patients usually experience only mild soreness the day after the procedure – something equivalent to post-exercise muscle ache. Tumescent liposuction may take longer than traditional liposuction, but the procedure leaves minimal bruising and pain. With today’s Liposculpture, you get the same results as traditional liposuction without all of the bruising and scarring.

Liposculpture is not considered a major surgery, it is a completely outpatient procedure.  Some patients even drive themselves home from the procedure. Many of the serious complications associated with traditional liposuction occurred because the patient was under heavy anesthesia. Patients under heavy anesthesia are unable to tell their provider if the procedure is too aggressive or causing unusual amounts of pain.  With Tumescent Liposuction, complications due to general anesthesia are eliminated. Patients remain awake under light or no sedation, and always able to communicate anything they are feeling. And, because Liposculpture uses only local anesthetic, patients are less likely to experience adverse reactions. Gentle and minimally invasive, most patients are on their feet the next day, and enjoying their new body in no time.

Liposculpture FAQ's

Author: Rodney Davis, Physician Assistant, Director of Surgery

 

Liposculpture:

Liposuction is the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery in the United States. This technique is used to reshape the body by permanently removing localized fat deposits. Liposuction is popular with both men and women, and can be performed on many different parts of the body successfully.

Initial Consultation:

During the consultation, we will discuss the changes that you would like to make in your appearance. We will explain the different options available to you, the procedure itself, its risks and limitations, and the costs.

How much pain is there?

The procedure is done under local anesthesia which minimizes the patient’s discomfort and maximizes safety.

What is the recovery period like?

Most of the bruising and swelling should subside within three weeks. To speed the healing process and to reduce the likelihood of post-operative complications, our staff will advice you to begin light activity as soon as possible. You should be able to return to work within a one or two days if your work is fairly sedentary. You should avoid strenuous activities for one to two weeks as your body heals, but within two to six weeks you should be able to resume all normal activities. It’s important to continue wearing the compression garment, which should be easily hidden under your clothing, unless instructed to do otherwise by our staff.

What can I expect after surgery?

For a day or two, you can expect to feel tired, as though your body has been through a workout – and it has! The areas treated will be stiff and sore, and you may experience some discomfort, burning, swelling, bruising or temporary numbness. The tumescent solution often provides many hours of pain free comfort, and you will be provided with medication to relieve any residual discomfort following your procedure.

You will be wearing a compression garment around the areas treated. This decreases swelling, helps mold the new shape, and provides support and comfort. Garments may be removed 24 hours after your procedures s you may take a shower. A compression garment is generally worn 24/7 for the first week. The garment is often worn intermittently for an additional four weeks.

How long do the results last?

The fat cells are permanently removed by liposculture, so you will not regain weight in that area. It is important to note, however, that liposuction does not guarantee that you won’t gain weight or accumulate fat deposits in other areas of your body.

Are You a Good Candidate for Tumescent Lipo?

Tumescent anesthesia liposuction can be of great benefit for most people who have fatty deposits in areas of their bodies that have not responded well to dieting and exercise. However, the best candidates for tumescent liposuction are active, healthy persons of average weight and good skin tone, and who have never had a lipo procedure to the same body part. Overweight individuals can also benefit from tumescent liposuction, especially if they are in the process of exercising and losing weight. The tumescent liposuction technique should be judiciously used in the morbidly obese. Ideal patients have committed to healthier habits and do not consider liposuction to be a substitute for exercising. Your liposuction specialist should listen to your goals of the treatment to better ascertain whether you have realistic expectations for what liposuction can and cannot do. It is best that liposuction patients have no significant medical problems. Age by itself is not a significant factor in tumescent liposuction.

The best way to know if you are a good candidate for tumescent lipo is to schedule a consultation with a tumescent liposuction specialist.

At Pacific Liposculpture, we understand that many of us, no matter how much we diet and work out, are still unable to change our shape.
