Liposuction uses a suction procedure to remove excess fat from any of your body parts. Liposuction of thighs and buttocks is performed by using thin, small and blunt-tipped tubes that are inserted through incisions made in the skin. The target is to suck out deposited fats from your body parts through the tubes.

The different and newer Liposuction techniques are Tumescent Liposution (uses tubes through cuts to suck out fat), Ultrasound-assisted Liposuction (using ultrasound to liquefy fat so as to remove it) and Laser-assisted Liposuction (uses low-energy waves to liquefy fat and suck it out).

Liposuction of thighs and buttocks are needed when a person has thick thighs and heavy buttocks which may look odd. The purpose of liposuction lipo is to reduce body weight and reshape different body portions. Liposuction cost for outer thighs is around $3,000 and for buttocks is $2,000. It should be remembered that liposuction does not tighten skin, but removes fat. It takes almost 6 months for the skin of affected area to tighten.
