A well-defined lower body with no sagging skin or extra fat in the thighs or legs is what most women desire. However, achieving those slimmer legs is usually impossible with just dieting and exercise. Moreover, the upper legs become an increasingly problematic area as women age. Today, many women are opting to have plastic surgery in New York City to address these concerns. Plastic surgeons who offer body contouring in NYC use advanced technology and techniques to remove excess fat and tighten the skin and help patients achieve their goal of smooth, slimmer legs.
Patients with significant amount of extra skin and have additional skin that needs to be excised could be good candidates for leg contouring. Thigh lift surgery can address various issues such as removal of excess fat and skin from the upper part of the thighs and result in firmer and slimmer appearance. For those who have lost a lot of weight and have flabby skin, the procedure improves skin laxity. This procedure also resolves chafing in the thigh area which is a major problem among many women.
To slim the legs, the best option would be thigh lift surgery that combines liposuction and skin tightening in one procedure. The treatment involves liposuction of the inner thigh, outer thigh, buttock area, and even the area around the knees which can improve the appearance of thick legs. The procedure’s ability to create slimmer legs completely depends on the length of the leg, the quality and elasticity of the skin, and the amount of fat that can be liposuctioned without distortion.
The latest trend is “thighlighting” which involves a combination of procedures such as thigh lifts, calf implants, contouring of the inner and outer thighs, and liposuction. The procedure, which provides a full leg makeover by accentuating the long look of the legs, results in thinner, shapelier legs. According to Hollywood Reporter, this procedure became popular when supermodels like Bella Hadid and Jennifer Lopez inspired women to focus on the legs. Thighlighting procedures all are not surgical, that is, non-surgical or minimally invasive procedures can be used. CoolSculpting in NYC is a non-invasive option that it actually freezes stubborn fat cells to death, allowing them to be eliminated naturally over time.
NYC plastic surgeons perform thigh lifts using advanced minimally-invasive modalities such as BodyTite, Smartlipo and VASER lipo. These technologies are designed to remove stubborn fat without much surgical trauma and patient down time. They also firm and tightens skin quickly, with minimal risk and negligible scarring.
