Dieting and exercise burns excess fat. Fats from the thighs however does not go away so  easily. Such thighs are commonly knowna as “saddle bags”. Reducing saddle bags is  possible through cosmetic surgery. 

Yes, women find it extremely difficult to shed excess fat freom the thighs. Exercise and dieting do not always help. It is a great cause of concern with  women. Women can shed excess fat from their thighs with the help of  the “liposuction” procedure.

The other terms used for this procedure  are “lipoplasty” and “suction lipectomy.” These procedures are not very new and have been widely used by women.  Liposuction is the best way to shape the body. Liposuction not only reduces excess fat from the thighs but also from  the hips and the waist. The treatment is equally beneficial for removing fat from all the three areas of the body.

In this process, the physician inserts a high pressure vacuum nozzle. It vacuums out fat cells form the thighs. For this lidocaine and epinephrine are injected to stop bleeding and to  remove the fat cells. There is also the  risk of removing necessary body fluid during this procedure.

Essential fluids are injected  intravenously during and after the surgery. This  is done to reduce bruising caused during the surgery. A latest technique called the  “Ultrasound-Assisted Lipoplasty” is used in this surgery. Ultrasound energy causes the  fat cells to explode and liquefy. The liquified fat is vacuumed. This is a time-consuming and very exacting technique.

The surgery might lead to swelling, tenderness, lumps or dents under the skin. Other possible serious complications include blood or flat clots  in the lungs. This may cause sudden death.

Excess loss of body fluid may lead to shock. The operation must be carried out by a well qualified and skilled surgeon. An iinexperienced surgeon may inadverdently remove as much as five five liters of fats.

The bruises and stitches  dissolve easily within a few weeks. The liposuction treatment  is extremely beneficial in reducing  excess fat from  regions of the body that do not respond to  crash diets and exercise.
