Small pockets of fat can distract from your appearance and make you feel self-conscious. Sometimes stubborn fat is caused by pregnancy or recent weight loss efforts. This is why liposuction fat reduction surgery is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures at Rao Plastic & Hand Surgery. Treatment can reduce fat in many areas of the body, including the abdomen, hips, arms, and thighs.
While liposuction in Tucson, AZ is incredibly effective, it cannot tighten excess skin. So, how do you treat loose skin after liposuction? Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Arun Rao offers custom recommendations for patients in need of solutions. This includes combining liposuction with body contouring surgery. Learn what this means by reading below or by calling our office for a private consultation.
What causes loose skin on thighs?
Many people are concerned about excess skin after removing unwanted fat pockets. However, not everyone who gets liposuction will notice loose skin on thighs or other areas. Skin contraction actually varies from person to person. Those with healthy skin elasticity should expect smooth results after liposuction. People with poor elasticity, on the other hand, may experience some wrinkling or looseness. Factors that affect elasticity include:
- Age
- Genetics
- Sun damage
- Rapid weight loss
- Rapid weight gain
- Dehydration
- Poor diet
One advantage of a Brazilian butt lift procedure is that it enhances buttock size without silicone implants. It offers patients a natural and less invasive approach as well as long-lasting results. However, patients with moderate to severe loose skin on the bottom may not benefit from a fat transfer to buttocks. Dr. Rao can perform a comprehensive examination and let you know what is possible with treatment. Our staff can tell whether you qualify for a BBL.
How fat reduction surgery works
Liposuction in Tucson, AZ is performed at our accredited surgery center. We begin by instilling a fluid called tumescent into the treatment areas. This will expand the space so we can remove fat cells more easily. Tumescent also reduces pain and unwanted side effects, like bleeding. Dr. Rao then inserts a tube called a cannula through a small incision to remove fat pockets. After closing the incision and dressing the treatment site, we can guide you through the simple recovery process.
Body contouring procedures for loose skin
Some surgeries are specifically designed to treat loose and sagging skin. This is important because excess skin folds can cause problems, like chafing and irritation. If you are worried about loose skin after liposuction, Dr. Rao can recommend a tummy tuck, body contouring surgery, or a similar procedure to be performed at the same time as liposuction. Patients love this option since it saves them the time and resources from scheduling two separate surgeries.
