Liposuction to Thighs Before and After Photos
Liposuction is designed to alter body contours and proportions by removing excess fat deposits in the target area.

The outcomes shown are only relevant for this patient and do not necessarily reflect the results other patients may experience. Results may vary due to many factors, including the individual’s genetics and lifestyle.
The Liposuction Procedure
The length of a liposuction procedure can vary depending on the area being treated and the amount of fat removed. This can be done under either a local or general anaesthetic.
Dr Norris will inject a liquid into the treated area to expand the fat components and reduce bleeding and trauma. A thin, hollow tube, known as a cannula, will then be inserted through the incisions to loosen excess fat from the thighs using a controlled back-and-forth motion. This dislodged fat is then suctioned out of the body using a surgical vacuum attached to the cannula. Due to swelling, the results of the procedure will not be immediately visible and may take up to six months to fully appear.
Suitable Candidates for Liposuction
At Form and Face Clinic in Sydney, the first step to determining candidacy for liposuction is to have a consultation with Dr Norris. Suitable candidates for liposuction typically exhibit areas of persistent fat unresponsive to diet and exercise, maintain firm, elastic skin along with good muscle tone, have a body weight within 30% of the goal weight, possess good overall health, and hold realistic expectations regarding the procedure’s results.
What to Expect After Liposuction
Dr Norris will apply dressings or bandages to your incisions after liposuction. A small, thin tube may also be placed under the skin to drain excess blood or fluid. You may also need to wear a compression garment to help control swelling and compress the skin to the new body contours.
Following liposuction of the thighs, you will need to take some time off work to rest. However, most patients can return to all normal activities, except strenuous exercise, within two weeks.
