Question:
I have always been uncomfortable about my thighs. They have always rubbed together or against my pants giving me painful cysts. How much (volume) fat will have to be liposuctioned to prevent future chaffing.
Answer:
The amount of fat that can be removed from your thighs will depend in large part on how much excess fat there is to begin with. SlimLipo or any other liposuction technique, is not a substitute for diet and exercise. However, if you have areas of your body where fat will simply not go away, the SlimLipo procedure is an excellent treatment for these areas. The fat of the inner thigh is relatively soft and responds very well to liposuction. The SlimLipo procedure gives the added benefit of skin tightening and this can be very dramatic especially after liposuction in the inner thigh. To answer your question more specifically, we can remove as much fat from your thighs as is safe and necessary to prevent future chaffing.
