Liposuction on the thigh area generally carries certain risks. If proper care is not taken during recovery, infection may occur. Improper surgical techniques could lead to uneven skin surface or bruising on the legs. It's advisable to undergo thigh liposuction at a reputable local facility. After the procedure, adequate rest is essential and physical exercise should be avoided to prevent interference with the healing process.
