Thigh HD Liposuction
Patients present for thigh contouring to take care of either obesity, fat collection, skin laxity, or both. The ideal patient for liposuction is the one who has localized areas of fat in the thigh but is otherwise fit and does not have skin laxity. Patients may also present with deformities after a prior attempt at thigh lift, or thigh liposuction elsewhere will benefit from thigh fat injection. Lower extremity liposuction treats lymphedema that does not entirely resolve with nonsurgical measures. There is a risk of contour deformity and skin laxity. Liposuction in the knee and thigh, therefore, must be conservative. Based on the experience of Prof Moawad for the last 20 years, he prefers syringe liposculpture of small thigh and the external ultrasound power-assisted liposuction for a large one.
