About Thigh & Hip Liposuction
The thighs and hips play a major role in patient’s silhouette and overall body contour. Both men and women can develop frustrating stores of fat in this area of the body that frequently refuses to respond to diet and exercise. Liposuction is an excellent way to address this stubborn fat once and for all!
Liposuction is an FDA-approved fat elimination procedure. The surgery is minimally invasive and is performed using only a few incisions, a slim cannula, and tumescent fluid.
Dr. Seare’s liposuction surgeries are highly customized to guarantee he achieves the proper amount of fat elimination required to deliver each patient’s preferred contours. If you are tired of hiding your hips, want sleeker, slimmer thighs, or want to achieve today’s highly sought-after thigh gap, liposuction will accomplish your results and allow you to get back to work within a few days!

Liposuction Methods
Dr. Seare has over 30 years’ experience providing world-class results with liposuction and body contouring. He has spent time perfecting the most advanced liposuction techniques, including MicroLipo, VASER liposuction, SmartLipo.
Dr. Seare himself is a pioneer who has expanded the capabilities of the MicroLipo procedure. His patented MicroLipo cannula design achieves ideal sculpting outcomes while exerting minimal strain on the body.
Each liposuction method offers its own features and benefits that help Dr. Seare accomplish the look his patient is searching for. Liposuction methods Dr. Seare performs include:
Tumescent Liposuction
Tumescent Liposuction, which has become synonymous with just liposuction incorporates tumescent fluid to assist in fat breakdown and improve patient comfort during the procedure. Tumescent fluid is a custom solution of saline, epinephrine, and lidocaine. This fluid will be injected into the treatment area and given time to take effect before any incisions are made. Lidocaine in the tumescent fluid will act as a local anesthetic. The fat cells will swell during this time, making them easier to dislodge from the body. Once the tumescent fluid has taken effect, tiny, strategically-placed incisions will be made. A slim cannula will be used to gently break down and extract unwanted fat from the hips and thighs.
Tumescent fluid has the added benefit of constricting blood vessels, thereby reducing post-procedure bruising and swelling.
Awake Anesthesia
Qualifying patients have the option of receiving thigh and hip liposuction under Awake Anesthesia. Awake Anesthesia keeps patients completely comfortable during their liposuction with local anesthesia and sedation. This comfort option is free of the risks associated with general anesthesia and reduces the cost of the treatment, while keeping patients safe and pain-free. Dr. Seare will be happy to answer any questions patients have about Awake Anesthesia during their private consultation.
Tumescent fluid is an integral part in most other liposuction surgical methods.
MicroLipo
MicroLipo is a liposuction method designed to target and remove lipodystrophy fat, or the exercise-resistant fat that can be fibrous and difficult to remove. Dr. Seare designed an improved version of the MicroLiposuction cannula that enables him to remove fat more gently, evenly, and comprehensively than ever before!
His MicroLipo patented cannula has a rotating spatula tip to guarantee even the smallest, most stubborn fat deposit doesn’t stand a chance.
Dr. Seare uses MicroLipo to perform “Around-the-World” liposuction and reduce up to 90% of fat from the circumference of the thighs. This method even enables him to achieve 25 to 35% skin tightening! While laser or ultrasound technologies are excellent ways to improve fat elimination and achieve skin tightening, Dr. Seare’s Around-the-World liposuction is a highly effective, minimally invasive procedure. This liposuction method gets rid of fat and tightens skin, without the need to expose tissues to laser or ultrasound energy.
Around-the-World liposuction is also highly recommended for the arms or torso.
VASER Liposuction
VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance.
VASER liposuction applies targeted ultrasound waves to break down fat more effectively and gently. In order to perform VASER liposuction, Dr. Seare uses a VASER cannula. The cannula will emit ultrasound energy that agitates bubbles in the tumescent fluid.
Stubborn fat deposits in the area will be easier to break away and suction from the body. The ultrasound energy will also tighten surrounding tissues, resulting in smoother, slimmer contours.
VASER additionally enables Dr. Seare to perform Hi-Def Lipo. Hi-Def Lipo will refine the appearance of the muscles themselves to improve tone and shape. Fat transfer can be incorporated to achieve the preferred contour of the hip and thigh.
SmartLipo
SmartLipo is laser-assisted liposuction. SmartLipo is performed using a slim cannula that contains a tiny laser microfiber. Dr. Seare will use the laser energy to melt fat before it is gently extracted from the body. The thermal energy has the added benefit of tightening the skin of the treated area. SmartLipo is a highly effective way to slim and sculpt the thighs and hips to your preferred look.
