Liposuction for the Legs

 When having liposuction performed on the legs there is a lot that goes into ensuring the contours of the final product is just right and the body curves in a smooth, natural and balanced way. The most commonly treated areas around the legs are the thighs. But that does not mean that it is uncommon for patients to also have fat removed from their ankle and calf.

The cost of liposuction to the thighs is among the priciest of procedures because of the size of the area and the amount of fat to be removed. In many people, it is apparent that their body stores most of their fat in the thighs and hips. This high concentration of fat cells also increases the likelihood of cellulite and explains why the buttocks and thighs are often plagued with such a problem. In fact, some people undergo liposuction simply to help rid the area of cellulite.

While the thighs are being treated with laser fat removal, a trained liposuction doctor will usually also have to extend their attention to the knee area. This is to ensure that the leg is proportionately reduced in size and maintains a natural curve. Sometimes the reverse direction is also of interest meaning the hips and even the abdomen might require some attention.

When removing large amounts of fat, sometimes it makes sense to remove most of the fat with traditional methods and then switch to laser assisted liposuction for more detailed sculpting. The laser’s ability to target fat cells more accurately allows the plastic surgeon to slowly and artfully touch up the area.

There is a real art in a plastic surgeon’s ability to sculpt a body when they liposuction legs. The attention to detail requires the precision of the laser that can only be handled by a liposuction specialist. If you are considering liposuction for your legs or anywhere on your body, consult a certified plastic surgeon to get a detailed understanding of what to expect.
