Thigh Liposuction

One of the most dramatic results for clients appears on thigh liposuction. A common problem area for women, Dr. Finzi finely sculpts the inner and out thigh areas with precision creating a more symmetric body balance. Dr. Finzi has perfected this technique and it is one of the most common areas of the body he treats.

About the Procedure

Dr. Finzi draws a topographic map of the areas to be treated on the patient while he or she is standing. The clinician then injects a local anesthetic into the areas where fat will be removed. This anesthetic lasts for at least 12 hours, minimizing postoperative discomfort.

Once the areas are numb, Dr. Finzi makes tiny incisions, just 1/8" long, near the areas to be treated. He then inserts a hollow tube called a cannula and suctions away the unwanted fat, sculpting the body for better symmetry. The use of very small cannulas allows Dr. Finzi to perform liposuction with precision. The small incisions will heal without stitches and will disappear over time.

After surgery, the staff applies dressings and provides a special garment for the patient. Patients can return home within one hour after the procedure and must be driven by a friend or family member. Once returning home, it is recommended to take it easy for the remainder of the day. Extra Strength Tylenol will help with post-operative discomfort. A day after surgery, most patients are well enough to drive, and can return to work within a day or two. The special garment, like a tight fitted body suit, is to be worn for 7 to 10 days after surgery. Skin will retract back to its natural shape, leaving you with the desired results within a few weeks, and with optimum results in a few months.
