## What does it involve?

The fat located in the legs is usually genetic. Excess fatty tissue sitting under the skin of the inner thigh is easily corrected with excellent results through liposuction.

Diet and exercise are often not effective at eliminating this fat. Thigh liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that can also improve the way a patient walks when the thighs rub together.

When excess skin exists, a thigh lift is more appropriate, since resection resolves what liposuction cannot.

Santelly · Precise indication to avoid irregular results

## What it corrects

- Genetic fat on the inner thigh
- Thighs rubbing together when walking
- Legs with disproportionate volume
- Poorly defined contour in the thighs and knees
- Localised fat that does not respond to exercise

## Is it for you?

- **Localised fat**: The volume is fat and the skin retains good elasticity.
- **Stable weight**: Your weight has been stable, with no plans for major loss.
- **Non-smoker**: You do not smoke and your pre-operative work-up is complete.

Private assessment required · With excess skin, a thigh lift is recommended

## FAQ

### Can thighs and knees be treated together?

Yes, it is common to combine areas so the contour transition is natural and no steps remain.

### Is leg fat hereditary?

Frequently yes. That type of fat tends to be very resistant to diet and exercise, and responds well to liposuction.

### Lipo or thigh lift?

If excess skin and laxity exist, a thigh lift gives a better result. If the issue is only fat, liposuction is the right choice.
