Liposuction: Inner/Outer Thighs, Lower Abdomen






While I enjoy all aspects of my Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery practices in Newport Beach & Beverly Hills, California, I have found that liposuction is often a very powerful tool whether it is used alone or in conjunction with other aesthetic procedures.

I have already commented on the efficacy of liposuction for the "upper arm and bra fat" areas in my previous blog publication. Liposuction is an excellent adjunct to breast augmentation, breast lifts, rhinoplasty, and abdominoplasty.

For example, frequently I have patients who undergo breast augmentation who would also like to have liposuction performed on the localized fat deposits beneath their chin or neck. Or, a woman who wants to have a rhinoplasty or "nosejob" performed and have the fat removed from beneath her chin or neck. These types of combination procedures are very powerful when performed in the same aesthetic region, for example rhinoplasty and neck/chin liposuction as well as breast lift with liposuction of the bra fat.

Above you see before and after results of liposuction of the inner and outer thighs and lower abdomen of a happy patient. I find it to be of paramount importance that liposuction should not be overdone as the natural contour of the body part may become distorted and appear obvious. When in consultation with your plastic surgeon, always inquire about liposuction as an adjunct procedure for the procedure you are about to undergo.
