It is usually a fantastic idea to pair liposuction of the hips and thighs together. Many patients feel that their heavy thighs are an area of concern. However, they can achieve excellent cosmetic surgery outcomes with treatment on both thighs and hips.
In women, fat on the thighs and hips generally occurs due to their genetic makeup. These fat deposits, commonly known as saddlebags, are typically unresponsive to dieting and exercise. Most women consider liposuction on their thighs to be able to wear shorts or a swimsuit more confidently.

Sites Where Your Body Accumulates the Most Fat
The hips and thighs are the two primary areas of the body that accumulate the most body fat. These regions have a significant amount of the lipase enzyme. Consequently, the hips and thighs have a higher tendency to store fat rapidly. This makes the hips and thighs more resistant to fat loss by natural methods such as dieting and exercising.
Advantages of Hips and Thighs Liposuction
Hips and thighs liposuction offers various benefits, including:
- It leads to a reduction in the number of inflammatory cells in the body. These cells increase the likelihood of cardiovascular disease development. Liposuction can actually reduce inflammatory cells by as much as 11 percent.
- Liposuction surgery can reduce the blood fat levels, also called triglycerides. Higher triglycerides levels are linked to an increased possibility of developing cardiovascular disease.
- The procedure can eliminate fat in a safe manner.
- Individuals who undergo this type of plastic surgery feel more confident about their appearance.
- Liposuction cosmetic surgery addresses areas of the body that are resistant to diet and exercise.
What does Thigh Liposuction Involve
Most women tend to have fat in their inner and outer thighs. Some women only have fat pockets on the outer edges of their thighs while others experience fat deposits on the inner side.
For individuals who are unhappy about the appearance of their thighs, liposuction offers an effective solution. This procedure can help eliminate excess fat and skin from the thighs.
What to Expect from a Hip Liposuction
The hips are one of the most difficult areas of the body to lose fat. Hip liposuction can help patients lose many inches from this area of their body. Fortunately, the hips are one of the most successful body areas to undergo liposuction.
Liposuction is typically undertaken as an outpatient procedure. The patient may find it slightly uncomfortable to walk or stand for extended periods of time for the initial few days after the procedure. However, it is generally comfortable to sit.
Patients may experience minor inflammation and bruising. The body may take up to three months to acclimatize to its new shape.
Recovery from Liposuction for Hips and Thighs
The temporary side-effects of liposuction include inflammation, bruising, and some loss of sensation in the treated area. However, these side-effects slowly resolve over the next few weeks after surgery. Bruising will also subside slowly over the following three weeks or so. Inflammation will resolve over three months or so.
Patients usually experience soreness for one to two weeks, with minor soreness continuing for up to one month. Pain medication may be necessary in the initial week. Patients are generally able to resume an office job in around one week after their liposuction procedure.
