In Which Areas Can Leg Thinning Surgery Be Performed?

The leg structure has tremendous effects on the appearance of women. It is much easier for women who have a perfect leg in shape to look beautifully attractive. Preferred dresses, shoes or accessories always offer a flawless appearance. The fact that legs are so important in physical structure causes a lot of demand for leg thinning surgery. People who have just started their research on leg thinning surgeries have not yet realised that different regions should be mentioned. In leg thinning surgery, it is extremely important which part of the leg will be treated. Specialist doctors can perform operations on three different regions: upper leg, knee area and lower leg. The process will proceed differently for each region.

Thinning Surgery in the Upper Leg

The structure of the leg is usually examined by dividing it into 3 different regions. The first of these regions is the upper leg. The upper leg region is one of the most preferred regions in leg thinning surgery. The general structure of the body causes this. Under normal conditions, the upper leg is always thicker and this situation brings some negativities.

The thickness of the upper leg is directly proportional to the hip structure. Women with wide hips and full hips cannot have a very thin leg structure. This situation changes the course of the surgery during leg thinning surgery performed by specialist doctors. There will always be a level of thinning appropriate to the general body structure.

One of the biggest problems encountered in the upper leg area is cellulite. Cellulite on the back and side of the leg is caused by tissue loss in the area. Patients express that they want to get rid of their cellulite in leg thinning surgery. In addition to the removal of fat by doctors, it is possible to get rid of cellulite by applying stretching procedures.

Slimming Surgery in the Knee Area

The knee area is the most complex area of the leg. There is a very low amount of fat in the area where the kneecap is located. Under normal conditions, there is no heavy fat mass outside the skin layer covering the knee. However, the side and back parts of the knee are areas where fat can accumulate abundantly. In case of excessive weight gain, fat accumulation occurs in these areas of the leg, resulting in an undesirable appearance.

The remedy for people who experience accumulations around the knee will be leg thinning surgery . During the removal of fat in the knee area, it is necessary to act very carefully. Otherwise, deterioration in the structure of the knee may occur. Although the cartilage tissue is not interfered with, removing fat from the area at once can cause difficulties for patients.

Lower Leg Thinning Surgery

The lower leg is one of the most problematic areas in our country. When the lower leg area, which is always left out in the preferred skirts or dresses, is not at the desired thinness, a pleasant appearance does not occur. Moreover, the fact that the ankle area is not thin creates extra problems for women. Even women who do not have very thick legs cannot achieve an aesthetic appearance due to the thick wrists.

The leg thinning surgery usually starts from the wrist area and continues until the knee area. The fat tissues in this area are completely cleaned and the patients are provided with a much thinner lower leg structure. Although women who transition to a thinner ankle structure may feel insecure in their walks in the first period, they will return to normal after a while.

How is it decided in which region the surgery will be in?

Decisions about which regions the surgeries will cover are not left to the patient. The patient’s opinion is always listened to and discussions are held on this issue. After the opinions of specialist physicians and patients, it is decided which regions the surgery will cover. Technology is extremely useful at this stage.

Patients are first photographed from the neck. Afterwards, these photographs are transferred to the computer environment and the post-operative leg shapes are revealed here. It will be clearly seen how the requested thinning will affect the legs. After the realised studies, it will be clearly determined which regions will be intervened during leg thinning surgery .

Can the whole leg be operated on the same day?

Esthetic surgeries are always considered simple and risk-free by people. However, the fact that patients undergo these surgeries voluntarily does not make the surgery easy. Mistakes made because of the intervention in areas that are always very important for the body can have great consequences.

The leg is undoubtedly a region that can cause great problems for the body. Mistakes made due to the veins passing through the leg negatively affect blood and lymph circulation. Circulatory problems are not only caused by faulty leg thinning surgery . Intervention in each part of the leg during the operation will also cause these problems. It is not correct to intervene in each region in a single session. It is deemed necessary to intervene in the upper, middle and lower legs in separate sessions.

Is There a Scar After Leg Thinning Surgery?

Women’s leg thinning surgery preferences are always made with aesthetic concerns. Participation in these operations will be in question in order to achieve a much more beautiful looking leg. If there is a scar on the leg after the operation, this situation causes great aesthetic damage. However, in the surgeries performed, scars remain invisible to the eye. Especially in women whose skin colour is not very light, the scars are not visible in any way.
