Leg Aesthetic

What is leg esthetics?

Nowadays, leg beauty gain importance among the females and males. Lipoidosis in the upper leg region, the non-proportional distribution of fats, curvatures in lower leg region and insufficiencies in the muscle development or thickening related with weight gain are among the factors impairing the leg esthetics.

What are the common causes of the irregularities in leg structures?

The most commonly factor impairing the leg esthetics is the excessive lipoidosis. Enlargement in hip, fullness in inner legs, thickenings in leg and wrists related with lipoidosis are seen. On the other hand, shape distortions may be developed in legs due to the congenital causes or traffic accidents or traumas.

How the shape distortions occurred due to the lipoidosis in legs can be eliminated?

The shape distortions occurred due to the lipoidosis in legs can be eliminated by means of the liposuction operation. With liposuction procedure, particularly fats located in the hips and in the inner legs are removed, thickened wrists are thinned, and calves can be made more esthetical.

How is the angulation in lower legs corrected?

If there is an angulation outward in lower legs and they seem more separate from each other, this can be corrected through the procedures done in inner legs. A volume can be formed in the inner arts of the legs through fat fillings or hyaluronic acid fillings. If the opening between legs is too wide that cannot be corrected via filling, implants are preferred. These are particularly implants which can persist lifelong, which are used to form a regular contour in inner legs which have biocompatibility.

How are the leg esthetics performed?

Filling in legs can be made under the local anesthesia by narcotizing several regions in the clinical conditions. If the implant insertion is planned, it is necessary to perform the procedure under the spinal anesthesia or general anesthesia.
