Liposuction Saddlebags

A woman's hips are an overt sign of her fertility and sexuality. Ask your friends, and they'll probably agree that the hips should be part of that classic hourglass figure that women constantly seek. However, there's a big kink in that goal. Most women are genetically programmed to store fat in their hips and outer thighs. The result is an unsightly break in your body's natural contour. They're often called saddlebags or riding breeches, and none of these names are very charming at all.

There's nothing to be ashamed of. The fat in the hips and thighs are highly resistant to diet and exercise. Even women with small frames can have a large lower body that is simply too full to be proportionate. Though it's an unfortunate situation, it's not beyond fixing.

Since the area is mainly meant for fat storage, a liposuction operation to remove your saddlebags can completely alter your waistline. You could have a smooth hourglass figure without those bulges if you combine a hip and outer thigh liposuction together.

Large volumes of fat can be removed from these areas with minimal scarring. The surgeon only has to make a few incisions that will not permanently scar. He or she then inserts a probe (called the cannula) into the layers of fat beneath the skin. The fat is then sucked out with vacuum and permanently removed.

That's because the fat in your hips and thighs doesn't grow back. Once you've got the right curves, your new body shape will not revert.

After a successful saddlebag liposuction, you'll be able to fit into jeans, dresses, and skirts in a way you've never imagine before. Your entire body will feel more complete and you'll have a big boost in confidence.

The recovery phase isn't that bad either. You'll need to wear a compression garment much like pantyhose for a few weeks, but you could be back to work in a matter of days. A liposuction operation in the hips and thighs may take longer than most other liposuction areas simply because high volumes of fat in different locations require multiple incisions and extra time.

Though liposuction for saddlebags is a quick solution, it may not be the best choice for you. Always consult your doctor beforehand, and be sure to discuss your options with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
