Thigh liposuction is a body contouring procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits from the thigh area, improving leg shape and creating smoother, more proportionate contours.
This procedure is suitable for individuals who maintain a healthy lifestyle but experience localized fat accumulation in the thighs that does not respond to exercise or dieting. It is also effective for individuals with Lipedema, a condition that causes abnormal fat accumulation in the legs. Dr. Sanjay uses advanced liposuction techniques to refine the inner, outer, or front thigh areas, resulting in a balanced and toned appearance.
Whether your goal is to achieve better body proportions, address Lipedema-related fat accumulation, or enhance the overall appearance of your legs, thigh liposuction offers an effective solution. By precisely targeting excess fat, this procedure helps create sleeker thighs that complement your natural physique and boost self-confidence.
For safety reasons and in compliance with UAE regulations, a maximum of 5 litres of fat may be removed in a single session. Any additional fat removal beyond this limit must be conducted in stages.

Thigh liposuction is an ideal solution for individuals with Lipedema, a condition where stubborn fat accumulates in the legs, hips, and buttocks. Dr. Sanjay uses VASER-assisted liposuction to target and remove the excess fat, improving the contour and symmetry of the thighs. This procedure helps create sleeker, more defined legs, restoring balance and confidence.
Thigh liposuction is a focused treatment that reshapes the thighs by removing excess fat from targeted areas. Below is an overview of the procedure:
The process begins with a detailed consultation with Dr. Sanjay. During this visit, your medical history is reviewed, your body structure is assessed, and your aesthetic goals are discussed to develop a customized treatment plan.
Advanced methods such as tumescent liposuction or VASER-assisted liposuction are used to ensure precise fat removal with minimal discomfort and reduced recovery time.
Small, discreet incisions are made in the targeted thigh areas. Through these incisions, excess fat is gently suctioned out to sculpt and refine the thigh contours.
Once fat removal is complete, the incisions are carefully closed with sutures. The placement of these incisions is planned to minimize visible scarring and promote optimal healing.
Proper preparation is important for achieving safe and successful results from thigh liposuction. Patients are advised to follow these guidelines:
A comprehensive medical assessment is performed to determine suitability for the procedure.
Certain medications, including blood thinners, may need to be stopped at least two weeks before surgery as advised.
Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption for at least two weeks before surgery and maintain a nutritious diet.
If general anesthesia is required, specific fasting instructions will be provided before the procedure.
The thigh liposuction procedure is carried out in a sterile surgical environment using advanced technology. The steps include:
Anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia may be used depending on the extent of treatment.
Dr. Sanjay carefully removes fat from the inner, outer, or front thigh areas, sculpting the legs to achieve smooth and well-proportioned contours.
After fat removal, the small incisions are closed with precision to minimize scarring and support proper healing.
Post-operative care is essential for a smooth recovery and optimal results. Patients are advised to follow these aftercare instructions:
Wearing compression garments around the thighs helps reduce swelling and supports the healing process.
Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for four to six weeks. Light walking is encouraged.
Prescribed pain relievers and antibiotics should be taken as directed.
Keep incision areas clean and dry, following all wound care instructions.
Scheduled follow-up visits allow for monitoring recovery and healing progress.
Recovery after thigh liposuction occurs gradually and varies between individuals. General recovery expectations include:
Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common. Most patients can resume light daily activities within a few days.
Swelling continues to decrease, and early improvements in thigh contour become visible. Normal routines can gradually be resumed.
Complete recovery may take three to six months. Once swelling fully subsides, the final results become visible, revealing smoother and more sculpted thighs.
