Excess fat is suctioned out with cannulas inserted under the skin. Thigh liposuction offers a lasting result with almost invisible scars.

Before the procedure
Prior to the procedure, a medical visit is necessary to meet with the surgeon and determine together the expected results. A pre-operative check-up will also be scheduled to determine the patient’s eligibility for surgery and to avoid any risk of complications.
The procedure
