Thigh and knee liposuction


Abnormal fat accumulation in the thigh area is one of the women’s specific problems. This fat accumulation, depending on the individual’s genes can manifest itself in several separate thigh areas. The most common points are the outer part of the side as well as the inner part of the genital area and sometimes around the knee.

Liposuction can be used alone for one or all of these areas at the same time.

Liposuction can eliminate this fat accumulation.

This type of fat accumulates between the skin and the thigh muscles. The surgeon marks the right points during the operation to remove fat from these points. The tumescent solution which also contains a local anesthetic is injected into the marked areas under the skin.

This solution separates the fat cells from the connective tissue and the surgeon can remove these cells by the suction force of the suction device.

The needed incisions are so small that they will not irritate the wound or suture later.

Possible risks of thigh and knee suction:

The thigh suctioning risks are low, provided that the surgery is performed by a plastic surgeon who has sufficient experience.

The thigh suctioning risks are as follow:

Bleeding, infection, local anesthesia, impaired wound healing, widening or ugliness of the suture line, accumulation of serum under the wound.
