Liposuction surgery of the lateral thigh.
We report our experience in 50 patients who underwent liposuction surgery of the lateral thighs with or without concomitant liposuction surgery of the hip and buttock areas. This procedure has proven to be a remarkably safe and effective method for removal of fat in properly selected individuals. The operation avoids the problems of blood loss and scarring associated with other operations used to remove fat and makes for extremely satisfied patients.
