It is possible to get satisfactory results with liposuction in individuals who have tight skin, adequate and active muscle tissue. However, if the sagging is severe on the thighs, liposuction will not be as effective as a thigh lift. Additionally, in situations of severe cellulite and oiliness, liposuction may be performed first, followed by thigh lift, to expand the area of the skin that can be taken into consideration during stretching procedures and to remove more skin. Sagging becomes more visible because of draining the interior portion of the skin, and a more effective outcome may be achieved as a result.
