Excess fat in specific areas of the body can be difficult to target through diet and exercise alone. At White Hill Clinic in Sydney, we offer thigh liposuction, designed to potentially improve body contours and help you achieve a more balanced and toned appearance.
Our experienced team ensures every liposuction procedure is tailored to suit your individual needs, delivering safe, effective, and long-lasting results.
What is Thigh Liposuction?
Thigh liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat cells from the thighs, which may enhance the body’s shape. It focuses on both the inner thigh and outer thigh areas:
- Inner thigh liposuction: Targets fat along the inner thighs, which can cause chafing or discomfort.
- Outer thigh liposuction: Helps slim down the “saddlebag” area for a more contoured look.
The procedure involves making small incisions through which fat cells are suctioned out, potentially improving your overall body shape.
What Are the Benefits of Thigh Liposuction?
The thigh liposuction procedure offers several potential benefits, including:
- A more toned and defined leg appearance
- Reduction in discomfort from thigh chafing (inner thighs)
- Boost in confidence and comfort in clothing
- Long-term fat reduction, as fat cells do not regenerate
Am I a Good Candidate for Thigh Liposuction?
You may be a good candidate for thigh liposuction if:
- You have excess fat in the inner and outer thighs that is resistant to diet and exercise.
- You are in good overall health and at or near your ideal body weight.
- You have realistic expectations about the results of the cosmetic procedure.
- Non-smokers are generally better candidates, as smoking can impair healing and increase the risk of complications.
- People with chronic medical conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes or immunodeficiencies should not consider elective surgeries.
At White Hill Clinic, we offer thorough consultations to determine your suitability for the procedure.
Thigh Liposuction at White Hill Clinic
- Consultation: During your initial consultation, our surgeons will discuss your goals and assess the areas where you would like to reduce fat.
- Procedure: The liposuction surgical procedure involves making small incisions and using a cannula to remove fat cells. This cosmetic surgery is performed under local anaesthesia, which numbs the targeted area.
- Inner Thigh Liposuction: This procedure focuses on the fat deposits along the inner thighs, which can be particularly stubborn and may cause discomfort due to chafing.
- Outer Thigh Liposuction: This targets the so-called “saddlebag” area, where fat tends to accumulate on the outer thighs. Outer thigh liposuction is designed to smooth out this region, helping to potentially enhance the overall shape of the lower body.
- Results: Results are noticeable after swelling subsides, potentially revealing a slimmer and more sculpted thigh appearance.
- Recovery: Recovery typically takes several weeks. Patients can usually return to normal activities within a few days, although full recovery may take longer.
Inner thigh liposuction recovery may require special care, such as wearing compression garments to reduce swelling and avoiding strenuous activities that could strain the treated area.
Recovery for outer thigh liposuction also involves managing swelling and may require similar precautions, though the specific recovery experience can vary depending on the extent of the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the fat come back after thigh liposuction?
The fat cells removed during thigh liposuction are permanently eliminated from the treated area, so they won’t come back. However, if you gain weight after the procedure, fat can accumulate in other areas of the body. Maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise routine is crucial to preserving the results.
Is thigh liposuction permanent?
Yes, the results of thigh liposuction are considered permanent because the fat cells removed during the procedure do not regenerate. However, it’s important to note that remaining fat cells in untreated areas can still expand if you gain weight.
How much fat can be removed during thigh liposuction?
The amount of fat that can be removed during thigh liposuction depends on various factors, including your overall health, body shape, and aesthetic goals. Generally, a few litres of fat can be safely removed, but the focus is on achieving a balanced and natural look rather than simply removing as much fat as possible. During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss this in further detail.
Can I combine thigh liposuction with other procedures?
Yes, thigh liposuction can be effectively combined with other cosmetic procedures to enhance your overall body contour. Many patients choose to combine thigh liposuction with liposuction on areas like the abdomen, arms, or hips. Combining procedures can be efficient and cost-effective, allowing you to address multiple areas of concern in one surgery. Your surgeon can discuss this further during your consultation.
How soon can I exercise after thigh liposuction?
It’s important to avoid strenuous exercise for at least two to three weeks following thigh liposuction to allow your body to heal properly. Light activities, such as walking, can usually be resumed within a few days, but more intense workouts should be postponed until you receive clearance from your surgeon. Resuming exercise too early can increase swelling and prolong the healing process.
Will thigh liposuction help with cellulite?
Thigh liposuction is designed to remove excess fat, but it is not specifically targeted at treating cellulite. Cellulite is caused by fibrous bands beneath the skin that create a dimpled appearance, which liposuction alone may not fully address. However, by reducing fat deposits, liposuction can improve the overall contour and smoothness of the thighs, which may reduce the visibility of cellulite.
