Liposuction is a surgical procedure that may be considered for individuals with localised fat deposits on the lower leg. These areas can sometimes retain fat that is less responsive to dietary changes or physical activity. In some cases, this is due to genetic predisposition or medical conditions such as lipoedema, which may cause disproportionate fat distribution and discomfort in the lower limbs.
Thigh Liposuction: Inner and Outer Thighs
Thigh liposuction can be performed on either the inner or outer areas of the upper legs. Some individuals may experience friction in the inner thigh area, while others may notice fullness on the outer thighs. The procedure involves making small incisions and using a suction device to remove localised fat deposits. This can assist with contouring the area in a way that supports overall body symmetry.
A full consultation is required to assess anatomical suitability, skin elasticity, and any underlying health considerations.

Individual outcomes can vary due to factors such as genetics, diet, age, exercise, lifestyle, weight, and overall health.
Knee Liposuction
The area around the knees can also hold excess fat that may not respond to changes in diet or exercise. Liposuction in this area is often performed in combination with thigh liposuction to promote a more consistent result. The knee area is delicate and requires careful planning and technique to ensure safe removal of tissue while maintaining function and stability.
Liposuction and Lipoedema
Lipoedema is a chronic condition involving the abnormal build-up of fat, usually affecting the legs and sometimes the arms. It is distinct from general weight gain and can lead to discomfort, heaviness, and sensitivity in the affected areas. Many individuals with lipoedema report difficulty reducing this fat through lifestyle changes alone.
In select cases, liposuction may form part of a multidisciplinary approach to help manage symptoms. This should only be considered following a full medical assessment and diagnosis. At Absolute Cosmetic, our team can work collaboratively with other healthcare providers to help explore suitable options for patients who may be living with lipoedema.

What to Expect from Liposuction
At Absolute Cosmetic, patients undergo a comprehensive consultation with our medical team to discuss the procedure, potential risks, and realistic outcomes. Liposuction is performed in Health Department-licensed facilities under strict clinical protocols. Downtime varies depending on the area treated, individual healing capacity, and the volume of fat removed.
It is important to note that liposuction is not a weight-loss solution. Suitability depends on overall health, skin quality, and clear treatment goals.
