Many people describe having disproportionately thick thighs
as being “cursed with a heavy lower body.”
Even with a near-ideal body weight,
thigh fat that doesn’t match the upper body
can make it hard to feel fully satisfied with one’s shape.
That’s why many turn to thigh liposuction
as a way to improve lower body proportion.
However, not everyone who undergoes thigh liposuction
achieves the exact leg shape they imagined.
The thighs are highly influenced by bone structure
and muscle volume, which shape their outer appearance.
If liposuction is done with the sole aim of reducing fat,
it may unintentionally expose muscle contours too strongly,
resulting in an unnatural look.
This makes the thighs one of the trickier areas
that require both skill and balance.
A well-executed procedure should consider
the thigh’s skeletal structure, fat and muscle distribution,
and overall body ratio,
to create harmonious and natural-looking changes.
The patient we’re introducing today
had noticeably thicker thighs compared to her upper body,
and chose thigh liposuction
to target the inner thigh fat
and the saddlebag area on the outer thigh.
We tailored the surgical plan
to suit her body type and goals.
Let’s look at her before-and-after photos
to see the results of her transformation.
[Patient Information]
Age: Mid-20s
Occupation: Preparing for employment
Height: 160cm
Weight: 54kg
BMI: 21
Results may vary,
even among patients with similar body specs.
She had a lower-body-dominant figure,
with a leg shape that appeared short overall
due to excess fat on the inner thighs and saddlebags,
which also affected the way her clothes fit.
This patient was diagnosed with a fat-storing body type,
with a significant amount of excess fat throughout the thighs.
We expected a dramatic size reduction through
comprehensive thigh liposuction.
Fat was especially concentrated around the saddlebags
and inner thighs, making it necessary to reshape
those areas for a smoother leg contour.
There was also noticeable fat below the buttocks,
causing a sagging effect due to the weight.
However, the patient had an X-shaped bone structure,
so even with liposuction, achieving a perfectly straight leg
line (also called the “11-line legs”) was not fully feasible.
Based on this, we proposed the following liposuction plan:
1.Remove excess fat from the inner and outer thighs (saddlebags)
to create a visible thigh gap and slimmer silhouette.
2.Perform hip line liposuction to reduce buttock heaviness,
while leaving a small amount of fat under the buttocks
to maintain lift and prevent sagging.
3.Due to the patient’s X-shaped leg alignment,
we focused on improving the contour rather than exposing
the skeletal shape through over-suctioning.
Below is a 4-month comparison photo
taken before and after thigh liposuction.

This patient had a unique X-shaped leg structure,
which required a cautious approach during thigh liposuction.
Excess suction could have emphasized skeletal irregularities,
so we focused on balancing the contour, not just volume loss.
To reduce stress from lower body obesity,
we reshaped both the inner and outer thighs,
with special attention to avoid sharp curves near the knees
that would accentuate the patient’s bone alignment.
We also performed hip line liposuction to reduce volume
under the buttocks, minimizing heaviness and preventing sagging.
The surgery helped enhance both the silhouette and overall balance.
As shown in the 4-month post-op photos,
the removal of saddlebags made the thigh start point appear higher,
improving not only the look of lower body heaviness
but also giving the legs a more stable, balanced proportion.
From the side, fat under the buttocks had shortened the leg line.
By removing that fat strategically, we created a lifted hip contour,
prevented drooping, and visually elongated the legs.
The patient’s own comparison selfies clearly show
not only an improvement in lower body obesity
but also a more balanced overall proportion.
Thanks to carefully planned thigh liposuction
and hip line liposuction,
we avoided highlighting the X-shaped bone structure,
and instead created a straighter, more symmetrical leg line.
Although the patient had naturally bowed legs
and struggled to reduce lower body fat through dieting,
we tailored a surgery plan that complemented the bone structure
while maximizing fat reduction and contour enhancement.
As a result, the outcome brought high satisfaction,
both aesthetically and structurally.
With consistent diet and exercise for aftercare,
we expect even greater, long-lasting liposuction results.
