Thigh liposuction removes localised fat from the inner or outer thighs to refine the leg's contour. It suits patients with good skin elasticity who have stubborn fat that has not responded to diet and exercise.
This procedure addresses fat deposits that sit under the skin of the thighs, not loose skin or cellulite. It reshapes the contour of the leg rather than reducing overall body weight.
Dr Cardinali examines skin quality, fat distribution and leg proportions, then discusses which areas can be safely treated.
Blood tests and, if indicated, a medical clearance are arranged. You will be asked to stop certain medications and smoking before surgery.
Small incisions are made in discreet areas. Fat is removed using a thin cannula under general or local anaesthesia with sedation.
You are seen within the first week to check healing, then again over the following weeks to monitor swelling and final contour.
Every surgical procedure carries potential risks. Risks vary with the procedure and your health, and the surgeon will discuss them with you along with the measures used to reduce them:
No. It treats fat volume, not the skin dimpling of cellulite, which may remain visible afterward.
The amount depends on your anatomy and safety limits. Dr Cardinali will discuss a realistic volume during consultation.
If skin has good elasticity, it usually adapts to the new contour. Patients with looser skin may need a different approach.
Most patients return to regular clothing within two to three weeks, once swelling has reduced.
No. It is a body-contouring procedure for localised fat, not a treatment for overall weight reduction.
The only correct answer comes from a clinical examination. Book a consultation — in person, or by video if you are outside the UAE.
