Almost every patient with lipedema has some involvement in their upper and lower legs. Since these are often the highest priority for treatment patients want to know can I treat my thighs 360 in one session? Some patients are suitable for this if they have stage 1 or stage 2 lipedema of the thighs. The medication needed to numb the body for liposuction is called tumescent fluid and the active ingredient is lidocaine. This is a weight-based medication and how much we can give a patient depends not only on their weight, but also on how severe their lipedema is.
Some patients that require high volume liposuction might be better off having their thighs operated on in two stages because they will have greater than 5L removed in a single session. If this is the case, it's better to do two surgeries on the thighs, rather than one.
Also, if a patient has a high likelihood to have loose thigh skin after lipedema surgery I will sometimes recommend two stages instead of one to allow the skin to snap back so it hopefully won't be loose.
