How is a Lower Body Lift different than liposuction for the thighs?
Liposuction of the thighs only removes fat. It does not tighten the skin and it does not improve cellulite. A Lower Body Lift both tightens the skin and improves cellulite. There are also times when irregularities of the thighs appear as fat deposits. However, for many patients this is actually a result of loose skin. This can be especially true following weight loss. For such patients elevating the skin resolves the issue. For others who may have excess fat deposits in addition to loose skin, liposuction maybe considered during the Lower Body Lift surgery.
