Introduction to Thigh Liposuction
Thigh Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to help you achieve beautifully contoured thighs by removing stubborn fat that has proven resistant to diet and exercise. Dr. Grant Hamlet, with his specialisation in Vaser Liposuction, offers a precise and effective solution to refine and sculpt this common problem area. This procedure is an excellent option for those who are at or near their ideal weight but struggle with disproportionate fat deposits on their thighs. It is important to note that thigh liposuction is a body contouring solution, not a weight loss procedure, and should be considered a complement to a healthy lifestyle.
Benefits of Thigh Liposuction
Undergoing Thigh Liposuction with Dr. Grant Hamlet offers a range of significant benefits that go beyond simply removing fat. By using advanced Vaser technology, the procedure provides a more refined and sculpted result, helping you to achieve a physique that may have been out of reach with diet and exercise alone.
Permanent Fat Removal
The procedure permanently removes fat cells from the treated area, providing a lasting reduction in volume and a more defined contour.
Concentrated Leg Contouring
Vaser technology allows for the precise targeting of stubborn fat pockets, sculpting the thighs for a more toned and defined appearance that is difficult to achieve otherwise.
Improved Body Proportions
By removing disproportionate fat deposits, the procedure helps to create a more balanced and harmonious silhouette, which can significantly improve the way clothes fit.
Enhanced Skin Tightening
Unlike traditional liposuction, the Vaser technology can also provide a degree of skin tightening, helping to improve the skin’s tone and texture in the treated area for a smoother, more refined finish.
Good Candidates
Ideal candidates for thigh liposuction are individuals who are in good overall health and are close to their target body weight. This procedure is not intended for significant weight loss but for patients who have stubborn fat pockets on their thighs that are unresponsive to a healthy diet and regular exercise. To ensure a safe procedure and optimal results, candidates must not smoke and should be prepared to stop taking any blood-thinning medications for several weeks prior to the surgery.
Your Consultation
Your consultation will be a wonderful way for you and Dr. Hamlet to get to know each other, and discuss your personal aesthetic goals. Dr Hamlet takes a customised approach to all aesthetic procedures.
Before your consultation, please be prepared to share the following:
- Any medical conditions or treatments or drug allergies.
- Current medications, herbal supplements, vitamins, alcohol, tobacco, and drug use.
- Previous surgeries.
Dr. Hamlet will conduct a thorough physical examination to assess the amount and location of fat deposits, as well as the quality and elasticity of your skin. Based on this, he will create a personalised treatment plan for you and explain the procedure in detail, including the use of Vaser technology. This is your chance to ask any questions you may have and ensure you feel fully informed and confident in your decision.
The Thigh Liposuction Procedure
Before your surgery, Dr. Hamlet may ask you to do the following:
- Stop smoking.
- Get a medical evaluation and lab testing.
- Cease taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory meds, herbal supplements, or other medications that have the potential to increase bleeding.
Dr. Hamlet’s thigh liposuction procedure is performed using advanced Vaser (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) technology. After the treatment area is prepared and a tumescent fluid containing an anaesthetic is injected, a small probe is inserted through tiny, discreet incisions. This probe emits targeted ultrasound energy, gently breaking up the fat cells while leaving surrounding tissues unharmed. The emulsified fat is then carefully suctioned out, allowing for precise and effective contouring. The surgery typically takes between 1 to 2 hours to complete, depending on the extent of the treatment.
Thigh Liposuction Techniques
Dr. Grant Hamlet specialises in advanced Vaser Liposuction for the thighs, a sophisticated technique that offers a gentler and more precise alternative to traditional methods.
Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance (VASER)
Vaser Liposuction uses targeted ultrasonic energy to gently break up and liquefy fat cells for easier, more precise removal. This innovative method begins with the infiltration of a tumescent fluid, which numbs the area and helps separate fat from surrounding tissues. A specialised Vaser probe is then inserted to emit ultrasound waves, agitating and emulsifying the fat. This liquified fat is then meticulously suctioned away with a fine instrument, allowing for strategic fat removal and significant contour improvement. A key advantage of Vaser is its ability to promote skin tightening in the treated area, leading to optimal results with less discomfort than traditional liposuction methods.
Recovery
Recovery from any procedure depends on the duration and extent of the surgery and the health of the patient. Be sure to ask Dr. Hamlet any questions regarding post-op procedures, dressings/bandages, stitches, medications, follow-up care, and when you can resume normal activities. He’ll be happy to make sure that you have all the information you need.
Most patients take 2 to 3 days off of work after thigh liposuction. The treatment area bruises and swells for around 3 weeks. If prescribed medication, please take this as directed. Expect soreness and fatigue. The amount of fat removed during liposuction determines the length of recovery. If Dr. Hamlet removes substantial fat, then recovery can take longer. Please take short and gentle walks to increase blood flow and keep the body active. Thigh liposuction patients typically reach full recovery after 3 to 4 weeks.
Corresponding & Complementary Procedures
In addition to thigh liposuction, Dr. Hamlet offers a range of corresponding and complementary procedures that can be performed to further enhance your results and address other aesthetic concerns.
Vaser Smooth
To tackle unpleasant cellulite on the thighs, Dr. Hamlet performs Vaser Smooth. This procedure breaks up the fat cells that create dimpled skin with Vaser Liposuction technology, effectively erasing cellulite. It restructures the skin using Dr. Hamlet’s signature instrument the Hamlet Sweeper. He uses this to break through the bands underneath the skin that cause dimpling. This type of liposuction removes both fat and cellulite in one go and is a helpful addition to thigh liposuction for the right patient.
Fat Transfer
Using the fat removed during liposuction, fat transfer is a commonly combined surgery. The surgeon cleans the fat through centrifugation and reinjects it into other areas to add volume. This often increases breast size or augments the buttocks. Fat transfer can also add volume to the face.
FAQs
Does Thigh Liposuction Cause Discomfort?
Every patient’s pain tolerance is different, but Dr. Hamlet’s gentle procedure methods are designed to minimise discomfort. The tumescent fluid used during the procedure contains an anaesthetic that helps to control any pain, with the effects often lasting for several hours afterwards. If you choose general anaesthesia, you will be asleep throughout the surgery. Any post-operative discomfort can be effectively managed with over-the-counter or prescription medication as advised by Dr. Hamlet and his team.
Can I Get Liposuction on My Knees?
Yes. Vaser Liposuction can remove fat from the knee area. This may be combined with thigh liposuction for the right patient.
Will I Have Scars After Thigh Liposuction?
The incisions required for liposuction are very small and strategically placed in discreet locations, such as within the natural folds of the skin. They typically do not require stitches and heal within the first few days of recovery. Any resulting scarring is minimal and will fade significantly over time, becoming easily concealed by your natural contours.
Can I Receive Liposuction of Other Areas of My Body in the Same Procedure?
For a safer and more manageable recovery, liposuction is typically performed on one or two areas at a time. During your consultation, Dr. Hamlet will assess your individual needs and discuss whether a single procedure or a staged approach for multiple areas is the most suitable option for you.
How Can I Maintain My Results After Liposuction?
Patients can maintain the long-term effects of thigh liposuction through a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise and a balanced diet. By maintaining a stable body weight and following post-operative care instructions, patients can enjoy long-lasting results and sustain the improved contours achieved through thigh liposuction.
