This is a young woman who wanted liposuction to the outer and inner thighs. She is from Columbus, OH and came to the plastic surgeons at the Columbus Institute of Plastic Surgery for liposuction. The pictures are 4 months after plastic surgery. After discussing with the patient, together we decided that the classic method of liposuction would be the best option. This was performed with the patient awake, using tiny incisions about the size of a pencil lead, and tumescent liposuction. Many people ask us if Smartlipo™ would be a better option. However, Smartlipo® has not been tested for is safety and offers the same benefits as tumescent anesthesia – no anesthesia, awake, and small incisions.
