Would you like to lose weight in your thighs and reduce your "saddlebags"? Have you tried dieting and exercise without success? Some women have a genetic predisposition that causes fat to accumulate on the outer thighs and buttocks.

Liposuction of the “saddlebags” is therefore the best solution. This common cosmetic surgery procedure yields excellent results: it permanently removes excess fat cells from the thighs, the sides of the buttocks, and the lower hips.

What is thigh liposuction?

Liposuction of the “saddlebags” is suitable for both men and women. It is intended for people with moderate excess fat and elastic skin. It can be combined with liposuction of the inner thighs, which is ideal when the inner thighs rub together and cause irritation.

Liposuction of the "saddlebags" involves suctioning fat cells from the thighs and under the buttocks. It removes localized fat deposits (lipomas) that are resistant to exercise and dieting using a circular technique.

It produces excellent results and leaves only tiny scars.

Good to know:

Liposuction is not intended for people who want to lose weight. It is used solely to remove stubborn excess fat.

The goals of thigh liposuction are:

  • Get Rid of Thigh Fat
  • Get rid of excess fat: slim down your thighs and buttocks
  • Improve the harmony of the figure.

What technique is used for liposuction of the "saddlebags" in Paris?

Dr. Delobaux uses theVASER LIPO HDtechnique to perform liposuction on the "saddlebags" in Paris. This innovative technique uses ultrasonic energy to target and liquefy fat cells. This makes them easier to remove and helps preserve the patient’s skin.

To minimize the impact of liposuction on the skin, Dr. Delobaux also uses theRENUVION skin retraction technique. With this method, the skin retracts immediately after the procedure.

What are the steps to take before your thigh liposuction?

Before undergoing liposuction, you must:

  • Getting Closer to Your Ideal Weight
  • Quit smoking (1 month in advance)
  • Stop taking aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications (10 days beforehand).

Before the procedure, two preoperative consultations will be scheduled. These consultations allow the plastic surgeon to examine the patient’s body structure. The surgeon will assess areas of fat deposits, bone structure, and skin quality in order to develop a tailored treatment plan. The surgeon will also explain the procedure and answer any questions you may have.

You will need to have a preoperative blood test and see the anesthesiologist no later than 48 hours before the procedure.

What is the procedure for your thigh liposuction?

Liposuction of the "saddlebags" takes 1 to 2 hours and is most often performed under general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia (similar to an epidural) in the operating room.

Minor liposuction procedures are sometimes performed under local anesthesia.

The procedure is carried out as follows:

  • The plastic surgeon marks the areas to be treated with a surgical marker.
  • He injects an anti-bleeding solution made from saline.
  • It uses VASER HD technology to liquefy fat cells and make them easier to suction out.
  • He makes tiny incisions (3 mm) in the hip area, the creases of the buttocks, or the outer thighs. The scars will be hidden by the elastic waistband of underwear or by skin folds.
  • It moves back and forth slowly and gently to suction out the fat.
  • The surgeon closes the incisions with absorbable sutures.
  • He performs a skin-smoothing treatment to remove any surface irregularities from the skin.
  • He puts on a compression garment (panty) to reduce bruising and swelling.

What are the post-liposuction effects on "saddlebags"?

This procedure is generally performed on an outpatient basis (patients are discharged the same day). However, the length of the hospital stay depends on the amount of fat removed and any associated procedures.

After liposuction:

  • The appearance of edema (swelling) and bruises, which gradually subside over the course of a few weeks.
  • Wear the compression panties (lipopanty) day and night for 2 months.
  • Wear compression stockings for 7 days.
  • Anticoagulant injections are required for 7 days.
  • Moderate pain (similar to muscle soreness) relieved by standard pain relievers.
  • Fatigue related to the amount of fat removed. Fatigue can be prevented by taking iron supplements 10 days before the procedure.
  • You may take your first shower the day after the surgery.
  • Bathing and swimming are prohibited for 3 weeks.
  • Resuming walking the day after the procedure.
  • Return to work after 3 to 7 days.
  • No sports activities for 1 month.

You can use kneading and rolling techniques to reduce water retention and improve blood circulation.

The results of liposuction are permanent: the "saddlebags" never come back.
