Plastic Surgeons at Me Clinic Melbourne perform thigh liposuction to improve your comfort levels with minimal downtime and positive results. Thigh liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes fat cells from the inner and outer thighs, creating a shape that complements and enhances your look. The thigh area is a common area of focus for individuals seeking body contouring options.
If your thighs make you feel bigger than you actually are, you may be interested in reducing them, and creating a look that is in harmony with the rest of your body shape.
Surgical Warning: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
