Thigh Liposuction India: 7 Things to Transform Your Results

Do​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ you feel that your thighs are looking bulky or heavy even after you have been regularly exercising and following a diet? You are not the only one. Many people have excess fat on their thighs that does not respond to any kind of workout or healthy eating. In such a case, the use of thigh liposuction can be of great help to Transform your lower body and Boost your Confidence.

Although thigh liposuction surgery is a widely chosen body contouring method, patients are often not informed about various aspects of the operation beforehand.

In this article, Dr. Ashish Khare from Kalosa Aesthetics, alongside expert insights associated with Dr. Ashish Khare, a top cosmetic surgeon in india, reveals 9 fundamental truths about liposuction on thighs along with tips on Recovery, hidden facts, and setting proper Results expectations.

What Is Thigh Liposuction?

Thigh liposuction is a body shaping surgical procedure that pulls out the resistant fat of the different parts of the thighs and thus makes the lower body appear more balanced body and slimmer.

Generally, the liposuction of thighs can be performed on:

  • Inner thighs (specializing in inner thigh liposuction and lipo inner thigh)
  • Outer thighs (often called outer thigh liposuction or saddlebags)
  • Front and back of the thighs
  • Knee area (in some cases)

Dr. Ashish Khare employs modern liposuction techniques like VASER liposuction  and power-assisted liposuction to do the thigh fat removal in a safe way and at the same time keep the body smooth.

After the lipo in thighs procedure, the patient’s thigh muscles are expected to appear:

  • Slimmer and toned ones will be apparent
  • Fit in clothes will improve
  • Thighs will feel lighter and more ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌proportionate , leaving patients Happy.

Thigh Liposuction Is Not a Weight-Loss Surgery

First‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ of all, a major misunderstanding is that thigh liposuction would result in weight loss. The truth is that it is a body contouring method rather than a weight loss process. To clarify, thigh liposuction is a surgical procedure that aims to:

  • Make the body figure more attractive
  • Eliminate the fat that is resistant to diet and exercise
  • Thicken and smooth the side and inner thigh areas

Therefore, if you are close to your ideal weight and figure but still have excess fat in the thighs, liposuction on inner thighs might be the right way to go for long-lasting results. Dr. Ashish Khare often says that lipo thighs operation is a body reshaping one—it is not a body contouring ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌method.

Inner and Outer Thighs Need Different Approaches

The‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ fat in your inner thigh lipo and outer thigh liposuction is different.

  • Liposuction for inner thighs is a method to reduce thigh rubbing and can visually enhance the appearance of a thigh gap.
 
  • Outer thigh liposuction is a way to get rid of the fat that causes saddlebags and makes clothes fit better.
 

Lipo on inner thighs is meticulously mapped out by Dr. Khare depending on your physique for the best thigh contour.

  1. Compression Garments Are Essential

After​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ liposuction inner thigh operation, compression garments are a must for post-surgery care. These compression garments:

  • Help decrease Swelling reduction
  • Help with skin tightening
  • Facilitate Healing and Recovery
  • Safely Assist in getting a more even surface and Comfort.

Many patients are required to wear them for 3–4 weeks. Dr. Ashish Khare is very clear regarding the duration and time of putting them ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌on.

Results Take Time

Many​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ patients are impatient with the process of healing, and they want Amazing  results immediately. However, Recovery is a process that requires patience. Following liposuction inner thighs, it may be possible for you to observe:

  • Swelling reduction
  • Bruising
  • Tightness or numbness

Swelling is typically lessened within 6–12 weeks, and the end results are seen little by little.

“The most gorgeous results show up when the body is totally healed,” Dr. Ashish ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌Khare.

    1. Mild Pain and Tiredness Are Normal

    As​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ thighs have big muscles, there will be some soreness, which is normal after the operation. You might experience discomfort in the following activities:

    • Walking
    • Sitting
    • Climbing stairs

    Also, tiredness can be there for several days. Dr. Khare recommends that during the first week, you should keep the movement light, take good rest, and not do any heavy ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌work.

    1.    Skin Quality Affects Smoothness

    Though​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ thigh liposuction gives great results; the condition of the skin has an important influence.

    • Good skin elasticity makes the results more even
    • Loose skin may still be somewhat loose after it has gotten tightened
    • Temporary irregularities or unevenness may be present at the beginning

    For this reason, Dr. Ashish Khare not only evaluates skin elasticity thoroughly but also warns for some extra skin-tightening sessions if you don’t have ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌enough.

  1. Walking Helps Recovery

While‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ it is true that rest is necessary, light walking can still be beneficial to the healing and recovery process by:

  • Enhancing blood flow
  • Swelling reduction
  • Avoiding blood clots to keep you Safe.
 

It is okay to take short walks at home starting from the second day, but one should keep away from gym workouts for at least 3 to 4 weeks. ‍‌‍‍‌‍

Diet and Hydration Matter More Than You Think

Food​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ intake after surgery plays a significant role in recovery as well as the final outcomes.

Dr. Ashish Khare suggests:

  • Protein-packed meals
  • Low-sodium foods
  • Adequate water intake
  • Smoking and no alcohol

Proper nutrition is essential to lessen the swelling and keep the fresh look of the ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌thigh.

Results Can Be Long-Lasting

Fat​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ cells that are taken out by liposuction are not going to come back. But the keeping of the outcome is still up to your way of life.

To keep your thighs slim:

  • Practice sports on a regular basis
  • Consume nutritious meals
  • Do not allow yourself to gain a lot of weight

Dr. Khare provides long-term maintenance guidance, so patients enjoy lasting results.

Pre- and Post-Treatment Care

Before​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Surgery
