What to Expect From Thigh Vaser Liposuction

Consultation Pre-Op The Procedure Aftercare & Recovery
Consultation

When considering Vaser liposuction for your thighs, the journey starts with a thorough consultation with a medical expert. During this meeting, your medical history will be reviewed, and we’ll talk about your goals for your thighs. It’s your chance to get a clear understanding of the procedure and discuss any questions or concerns you may have.

Pre-Op

Before the actual surgery, you’ll go through important medical checks to ensure you’re in good health for the operation. You’ll receive detailed instructions on pre-operative care, including guidelines for fasting and managing medications. These protocols in place to support patient safety and wellbeing and are important to follow.

The Procedure

For your thigh liposuction, you will receive anaesthetic sedation for your treatment comfort.

After numbing the area, your Levant Cosmetic Surgery doctor will make a small incision, typically in the groin crease, bikini line, or buttock crease, to insert the Vaser probe.

The probe is moved back and forth to heat the unwanted fat cells. As the fat tissue is broken down, a cannula will be used to suction the fat out of your body.

Aftercare & Recovery

Getting Home

You will be required to be collected by a responsible adult to stay with you for the remainder of the day and overnight. Even if you feel normal, your reaction time will be slower after receiving sedation medication.

Aftercare

  • After your procedure, you’ll receive comprehensive post-operative instructions for a smooth transition home.
  • We provide a 24/7 contact number for any post-surgery questions, ensuring you can always reach us.
  • Your post-surgery care will be overseen by your doctor, supported by our dedicated care team.

Recovery Timeline

Immediate Post Procedure

You’ll be released into the care of a responsible adult family member or friend.

An overnight hospital stay is not required.

Once home, you must rest and take it easy.

First Two Weeks

Expect to experience soreness and tenderness, but we’ll provide pain relief to minimise discomfort.

Compression garments are always worn post-procedure. You will be instructed on how long you will be required to wear these garments.

You should be able to start driving again after a few days.

During this time follow-up appointments will commence as organised by your care team.

Depending on individual factors, you may be able to return to work around the 1 week mark, but this will vary from patient to patient. Exercise can begin again after approximately 6 weeks post-procedure.

Two Weeks & Beyond

Follow-up appointments will continue as necessary and are scheduled by your care team.

You must continue to wear your compression garments as directed.

A surgical review with your doctor takes place approximately 6-8 weeks post-procedure.

Full recovery occurs around the 6 week mark, with full results evident in 6-12 months.

How Much Does Thigh Liposuction Cost?

Cost is an important factor in deciding on Vaser liposuction. The overall cost varies, and is influenced by several aspects:

  • The range of treatment, including the number of areas to be addressed.
  • The amount of fat to be removed.
  • The choice of sedation for the procedure.
  • The duration of the surgery.
For precise pricing, a detailed quote will be provided during the consultation.
It's essential to remember that individual results will vary.
Realistic expectations are crucial, and liposuction isn't a solution for body image concerns or a substitute for a healthy lifestyle and exercise.

The Importance of Choosing a Qualified Doctor

Picking the cheapest option for cosmetic procedures isn’t a wise decision. It can mean lower quality, safety risks, and the need for more treatments, costing you more.

Selecting a skilled doctor ensures better care, safety, and more satisfying results. Prioritising quality and expertise is crucial for getting the best outcomes and ensuring you’re happy with the results.

Treatment Areas

Thigh fat can collect in various places on your thighs, and this differs from person to person. We can break it down into four areas:

  • Inner Thighs: Inside your thighs, just below the groin, down to the knee.
  • Outer Thighs: On the sides of your thighs, from the hips to the knee.
  • Front of Thighs: The front part of your thighs, from the groin to the knee.
  • Backs of Thighs: The part you sit on, from the buttocks to the knee.

Other Areas Vaser Liposuction Targets

Vaser liposuction can be performed on various parts of the body to reduce excess fat. The most commonly treated areas include:

FAQs

What are the risks of thigh Vaser liposuction?
All procedures carry risks. There are protocols in place to support patient safety. Potential complications include infection, swelling, bruising, scarring, and changes in skin sensation, such as numbness or tingling. There is also a risk of asymmetry or uneven results, fluid accumulation, and, in rare cases, blood clots or adverse reactions to anaesthesia. It’s essential to have this procedure performed by a qualified and experienced professional who can assess your overall health and medical history and discuss all potential risks with you to ensure a well-informed decision.
How much fat can you remove in one go?
All procedures carry risks. There are protocols in place to support patient safety. In Australia, you can only take out up to five litres of fat in a single liposuction session. If you need more than that, you might need a few extra appointments.
Will my skin become loose after the procedure?
The outcome varies depending on your skin's elasticity before surgery; some experience good tightening, while others may have minor looseness. Your doctor can provide expectations based on your skin condition.
Will there be scarring?
As with any surgery, scarring occurs. However, the scars from Vaser liposuction are usually small and can fade over time. As everyone is different, how noticeable the scars appear once healed will always vary.
Is this procedure suitable for obesity?
Vaser liposuction is not a weight-loss surgery, but if you're looking to remove a significant amount of fat, you can discuss Mega Liposuction options with your doctor during your consultation.
Are there non-surgical alternatives?
If you prefer a non-surgical approach, consider CoolSculpting for targeted fat reduction, treatment suitability varies by patient, to learn more please schedule a complimentary consultation.
