Six entry points are made in total—one on each outer thigh near the pelvis, one in the middle of each outer thigh about a foot further down the leg, between the knee and pelvis, and then one underneath each buttock just above the back of the upper thigh. These access points are carefully placed to optimize the effectiveness of liposuction on the outer thighs while minimizing visibility.

Patients who have pinchable fat on their outer thighs are perfect candidates for AirSculpt's next-level liposuction for thighs. Those without pinchable, excess fat and only loose or excess skin would be better suited for a lift. Alternatively, AirSculpt provides an in-house skin tightening procedure using Renuvion® technology. This minimally invasive solution is an ideal alternative to invasive lifts that still provides dramatic tightening.

The saddlebag is considered to be outer thigh fat anywhere between the pelvis and knee. These problem areas respond exceptionally well to targeted liposuction for thighs.

Yes, if a patient wants a thigh gap, we can seamlessly sculpt one.

Yes, you can wear tight clothing after AirSculpt. 

AirSculpt does treat conditions like lipedema and lymphedema if there is excess fat in the subcutaneous layer that needs to be removed. The procedure allows for as much lymphatic drainage as possible while giving patients more balanced proportions and instant relief from pain-inducing fat accumulation.

While AirSculpt always leaves the treated area's skin tighter than before, this is not a thigh lift or skin tightening procedure. AirSculpt focuses primarily on removing stubborn fat; we do leave the skin tighter in the process, but that is not the main focus. Patients often see smoother contours after liposuction of the outer thighs, even though skin tightening is a secondary benefit rather than the main goal.

Patients not only can walk but are instructed to walk for at least 45 minutes after any procedure to help encourage healing.

Patients should wait two to three weeks before resuming strenuous exercise like serious running. 

Patients are advised to take walks and other forms of light movement as soon as a day after AirSculpt, but should wait at least two weeks before resuming strenuous activity.
