Which is better, leg slimming injection or liposuction?

In order to achieve the desired weight loss effect, many people who love beauty will choose to undergo medical cosmetic surgery to improve their body shape. Leg slimming injections and liposuction are two very popular ways to slim down your legs.

In fact, you don't need to worry too much about the choice between leg slimming injection and liposuction, because the suitable people for leg slimming injection and liposuction are not different. Once you figure out which one is suitable for you, you will know whether liposuction or leg slimming injection is better. But many people are not clear about the suitable people for leg slimming injection and liposuction. Let's take you to understand it~

1. Choose according to the appropriate population

Leg-slimming injection: Leg-slimming injection is mainly used to slim down muscular legs. So how do you judge whether you have muscular legs? Beauty lovers can stand on tiptoe. If they can pinch less part, then their legs are dominated by muscles. In this case, if they want to slim down their legs, beauty lovers can consider choosing leg-slimming injection.

Liposuction for leg slimming: Liposuction for leg slimming is suitable for people with a BMI of less than 30, who can pinch 3.5cm thick fat on their legs when standing on tiptoe. If you do not meet this condition, then liposuction for leg slimming is generally not recommended. If you are not a person who is overweight, but simply want to improve the fat accumulation in your legs, then you can have liposuction for leg slimming.

2. Different principles of slimming legs

Leg-slimming injection: The principle of leg-slimming injection is mainly to paralyze and relax the calf muscles by injecting a small dose of botulinum toxin, so that people can feel the changes in the leg curve, thereby achieving the effect of leg slimming.

Liposuction for leg slimming: There are many different promotional names for liposuction for leg slimming, but the current operating techniques are all manual, using a liposuction needle to suck out a certain amount of fat from the legs using negative pressure.

3. Different time to take effect

Leg-slimming injection: Beauty lovers with muscular legs can usually feel the curves of their legs begin to change about two weeks after the injection of the leg-slimming injection. This is because it takes a certain amount of time for the botulinum toxin in the leg-slimming injection to block the transmission of information between nerves and muscles.

Liposuction for leg slimming: Liposuction for leg slimming does not work immediately. Usually, after the surgery, the legs of the beauty lovers will swell. This is a normal situation, which is caused by the temporary lymphatic reflux disorder after the surgery. The swelling usually disappears after one month, and the time for complete swelling to disappear varies from person to person. After the swelling disappears, the beauty lovers can observe the effect of liposuction for leg slimming one month after the surgery.

4. The duration of leg slimming effect is different

Leg-slimming injection: The effect of leg-slimming injection generally lasts for 4-6 months, because the main active ingredient of leg-slimming injection, botulinum toxin, changes in the body's effect. Generally, the best effect is 1-2 months. As time goes by, the body slowly eliminates the botulinum toxin, and the leg-slimming effect will gradually disappear. If you want a longer leg-slimming effect, you should continue to inject leg-slimming injections after 4-6 months.

Liposuction for leg slimming: In theory, liposuction for leg slimming can maintain its effect permanently (because the fat cells of adults are constant, and liposuction for leg slimming sucks out a certain amount of leg fat, so liposuction for leg slimming can maintain its effect without rebound), but in fact, after liposuction for leg slimming, beauty lovers also need to change their lifestyle habits that make them easy to gain weight. A scientific and reasonable fat-reducing and fat-controlling diet and regular exercise can prevent the remaining leg fat from becoming larger and fuller, so that the effect of liposuction for leg slimming can be maintained and the slender lines of the legs can be kept for a long time.

Self-test: Do you have muscular legs or fat legs? When you tighten your calf muscles, if you can pinch a thick piece of flesh, then this means that there is too much fat, and you can choose liposuction surgery to thin your calves. If you can't pinch it, and it feels like a hard lump, then most of the time it is muscular. Muscular and thick legs can choose to inject slimming needles.

Suitable for: People with thick subcutaneous fat in thighs, calves, etc.

Liposuction is a common, safe and effective method for slimming legs. It uses minimally invasive and painless technology to quickly decompose and reduce excess fat in the legs. It is safe, effective, not easy to rebound, and has minimal scars after surgery. Common liposuction sites include the outer, inner, front and back of the thighs, around the knees, the inner, outer and back of the calves, etc. The effect will be more obvious if there is more fat in the thighs. If too much fat is removed from the calves, it may affect the appearance. However, the fat distribution in the thighs and calves is different from that in the abdomen. When we walk and exercise, our muscles need to contract and move. Therefore, if too much or uneven fat is sucked from the thighs and calves, it is very easy to appear uneven, which seriously affects the appearance of the legs. Therefore, liposuction of the thighs, especially the calves, must be just right.

Compared with the traditional liposuction surgery, some patients are too obese. After the fat is suddenly reduced, the skin that was stretched out cannot shrink quickly, resulting in a loose state. However, now with bodytite radiofrequency lipolysis, also known as gold micro-sculpture, the problem of loose skin is well solved. It uses radiofrequency energy to dissolve fat and tighten the skin at the same time, which will make the skin of the calves and thighs firm after liposuction, and the shape of the calves and thighs will be more beautiful, and the leg slimming effect will be better. In addition, people with too little subcutaneous fat tissue are not suitable for leg liposuction, and people with varicose veins and phlebitis in the lower limbs are prohibited from lower limb fat suction. The superficial veins of this group of people are dilated and tortuous, and the skin of the limbs is prone to nutritional changes, such as desquamation, itching, pigmentation, etc., and even eczema and ulcers. The dilated veins are easily damaged during the operation, resulting in adverse consequences, and complications are also prone to occur after the operation.

Suitable for: People with overdeveloped calf muscles

For people with overdeveloped leg muscles, especially calf muscles, leg-slimming injections can achieve a better leg-slimming effect. The principle is that after injecting botulinum toxin, it can block the information transmission between muscles and nerves. The muscles cannot get the command to contract, and they will slowly atrophy, and then gradually make the calf muscles thinner and smaller, thus achieving a certain leg-slimming effect. Leg-slimming injections do not affect normal walking activities. Some patients may feel slight soreness and weakness in the calf in 1-2 weeks, which will soon be relieved. Generally, the leg-slimming injection will be effective one week after the injection, and the best leg-slimming effect can be achieved within two weeks to six months. However, since people walk frequently, if they exercise, the leg muscles will gradually restore their original functions, and the legs will gradually become thicker to the level before the injection. Therefore, it is recommended to inject the second injection within six months to one year after the first injection, and continue to inject 3-5 times to achieve a more ideal effect. In addition, we also remind everyone to minimize excessive exercise such as running and mountain climbing. There are many girls around me who want to slim down their thighs and calves. Here I would like to remind the girls who love beauty that whether it is liposuction or leg slimming injections, it requires very high technical level of the doctor. With a responsible attitude towards yourself, you should choose a professional doctor for treatment to ensure your health and safety and get the best treatment effect.
