Anterior Thigh Liposuction or Lift: Which To Opt For

AirSculpt® proudly offers patients advanced body contouring and sculpting procedures that leave them feeling rejuvenated and confident in their appearance.

An area that is often treated within our offices is the thighs. They're mainly problematic for patients who can't wear certain clothes or suffer from irritation caused by their thighs chafing together.

Traditionally, there are two surgeries designed to address various aesthetic issues involving the anterior thighs: the anterior thigh liposuction​ and lift.

This article has been curated to inform you about anterior thigh liposuction and lifts, so you can understand their differences and how the procedures from AirSculpt come into play.

 

Thigh Lift Surgery

Also known as a thighplasty, a thigh lift refers to the procedure designed to treat loose skin surrounding the thigh.

Incisions are carefully made around the groin and inner thigh to later tighten and resolve any sagging that affects the patient's comfort.

Two types of lifts can be performed:

1. Outer or lateral thigh lift: where the front and outer portion of the thighs are treated.
2. Inner or medial thigh lift: where the inner and upper portions of the thighs are treated.

Ideal Candidates For Thigh Lifts

The optimal candidates for a thigh lift are those who want to change their thigh contour and aesthetic. Problems with wrinkling, loose, and excessive skin are the main aspects that they'd like to treat.

As with any surgery, the patient should be in overall good health.

Anterior Thigh Liposuction

Anterior thigh liposuction is a traditional fat removal procedure. It solely focuses on anterior thigh fat​ removal. Therefore, patients concerned with loose skin should couple it with a thighplasty.

Ideal Candidates For Thigh Lipo

The optimal candidates for thigh liposuction are those with pockets of fat surrounding the thigh area and should also be in good overall health.

Patients should be close to their ideal weight when considering liposuction, as the invasive nature of this surgery requires a healthy body composition for a beneficial recovery.

AirSculpt® Is More Ideal For Your Thigh Contouring Needs

Whether your issue is excess anterior thigh fat​ or loose skin, Front Thigh AirSculpt® is the optimal decision you can make to achieve the best results for your anterior thighs.

The minimally invasive procedure is designed to simultaneously remove fat and help tighten loose skin, thanks to the advanced technology implemented and our patented technique.

AirSculpt's exclusive fat removal technique delivers more precise results than traditional liposuction, while leaving the skin tighter to its new shape. That said, this is primarily a fat removal treatment, so if significant loose skin in need of removal exists, the Airtite Skin tightening procedure can be performed.
