When it comes to achieving a more sculpted physique, the outer thighs are often a challenging area to address.
Two popular procedures, an outer thigh lift and liposuction, offer different approaches to body contouring. Dr. Andrew Trussler provides both of these treatments, each of which comes with its own benefits.
How do you decide which is better for your goals? Find out below.
What Is an Outer Thigh Lift?
An outer thigh lift is a surgery designed to remove excess skin and improve the outer thigh shape.
This procedure works well for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or those whose skin has lost its elasticity over time. An outer thigh lift tightens and smooths the skin. It can create a more toned and youthful appearance.
Ideal candidates for this surgery often have loose or sagging skin that cannot be addressed with fat removal alone.
What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a less invasive service that targets and removes localized fat deposits. It’s best suited for individuals with good skin elasticity who wish to eliminate stubborn fat pockets that don’t respond to diet and exercise.
Liposuction can effectively slim and reshape the thighs but does not address skin laxity. Therefore, it’s ideal for those who need fat reduction rather than skin tightening.
Which Procedure is Right for You?
The decision between an outer thigh lift and liposuction depends on your needs and body goals.
If you struggle with sagging skin along your outer thighs, an outer thigh lift may be the best option to achieve a smoother, more sculpted look. However, liposuction might be the better choice if your primary concern is excess fat with minimal skin laxity.
