Would you like to lose thighs and saddlebags? Have you tried dieting and exercise to no avail? Some women have a genetic predisposition that causes fat to accumulate on the outer thighs and buttocks.
Liposuction of the saddlebags is the best solution. This common cosmetic surgery procedure delivers excellent results: it permanently removes excess fat cells from the thighs, buttocks and lower hips.
What is saddlebags liposuction?
Saddlebags liposuction 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, ideal when the inner thighs rub and cause irritation.
Liposuction of the saddlebags involves suctioning fat cells from the thighs and under the buttocks. It removes localized fat (lipomeresis) that is resistant to sport and dieting, in a circular fashion.
It offers excellent results and generates tiny scars.
Good to know:
Liposuction is not intended for people who want to lose weight. It can only be used to remove stubborn excess fat.
The objectives of thigh liposuction are :
- Eliminate saddlebags
- Eliminating excess fat: slimming thighs and buttocks
- Improve the harmony of the silhouette.
What technique is used for saddlebags liposuction in Paris?
Dr. Delobaux uses the VASER LIPO HD technique to perform saddlebags liposuction in Paris. This innovative technique uses ultrasonic energy to target and liquefy fat cells. As a result, fat cells are easier to remove and patients' skin is better preserved.
To limit the impact of liposuction on the skin, Dr Delobaux also uses the RENUVION skin retraction technique. With this method, skin tissue retracts immediately after the procedure.
What are the steps before your saddlebags liposuction?
Before liposuction, it is necessary to :
- Getting closer to your ideal weight
- Stop smoking (1 month before)
- Stop taking aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs (10 days before).
Prior to the procedure, two pre-operative consultations will be scheduled. These consultations enable the plastic surgeon to examine the patient's morphology. He or she will analyze areas of fat accumulation, bone structure and skin quality, in order to define a suitable treatment plan. He will also explain the procedure and answer any questions you may have.
You will need to undergo a pre-operative blood test, as well as a visit to the anaesthetist no later than 48 hours before the operation.
What is the procedure for saddlebags liposuction?
Saddlebags liposuction lasts 1 to 2 hours and is usually performed under general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia (similar to epidural) in the operating room.
Light liposuction is sometimes performed under local anaesthetic.
The procedure is as follows:
- The plastic surgeon determines the areas to be treated with a surgical felt-tip pen.
- He injects a saline-based anti-bleeding solution.
- It uses VASER HD technology to liquefy fat cells and facilitate suction.
- Tiny incisions (3 mm) are made in the hips, buttock folds or outer thighs. Scars are concealed by the elastic of the undergarment or the folds of the skin.
- It uses slow, gentle back-and-forth movements to draw out the fat.
- The surgeon closes the incisions with absorbable sutures.
- It smoothes the skin to remove any surface irregularities.
- He places a compression garment (panty) to reduce bruising and swelling.
What are the post-liposuction effects of saddlebags?
This procedure is generally performed on an outpatient basis (same-day discharge). However, the length of hospitalization depends on the amount of fat removed and any associated procedures.
After liposuction:
- Appearance of edema (swelling) and ecchymosis (bruising), which gradually subside over a few weeks.
- Night and day wear of a compression panty (lipopanty) for 2 months.
- Wear compression stockings for 7 days.
- Anticoagulant injections mandatory for 7 days.
