Today, many women are increasingly focused on slimming the lower body,
regardless of the season—even in the colder months.
Starting in their early 20s, women become more interested in leg-revealing fashion,
and by their mid-to-late 20s, frequent social events often require wearing skirts.
As interest in fashion and body proportions grows,
so does interest in lower body contouring and leg shaping.
A truly slim lower body means having a balanced silhouette
between the upper and lower body—
not just thin thighs and calves,
but a proportional and well-contoured lower body.
To achieve the best results with liposuction,
a detailed 1:1 consultation with a specialist
is absolutely essential before the procedure.
The patient is 158cm tall and weighs 48kg,
with a BMI of 19.
She often felt stressed about her thick thighs,
which affected how her clothes fit.
In particular, she struggled with inner thigh chafing while walking,
and tried to resolve it through diet and cardio workouts.
Although she successfully lost weight
six months prior to liposuction,
the stubborn inner thigh fat remained unchanged.
She visited us to ask if lower body liposuction
could help create a smoother, slimmer leg line.
During the consultation, the patient was found to have X-shaped leg alignment,
with protruding inner knee bones,
making it difficult to achieve a perfectly straight leg line
through lower body liposuction.
However, since she had a high fat ratio in the lower body,
we explained that liposuction around the inner knees
could still help improve overall balance and contour.
The patient’s skin elasticity was slightly reduced,
and her right leg showed more muscle development,
suggesting that some asymmetry might remain after surgery.
She also had a pre-existing deep under-butt fold,
which we explained would be difficult to improve with liposuction alone.
To prevent buttock sagging,
we recommended preserving a moderate amount of fat
beneath the buttocks during surgery
while refining the leg line.
We emphasized the need for longer-than-average use of compression garments
to help the under-butt crease settle smoothly,
and also advised daily moisturizing
to prevent hyperpigmentation or scarring
caused by prolonged pressure.
Ultimately, the patient underwent
lower body fat liposuction + calf Botox,
with 2,800cc of fat removed for a more streamlined leg line.

Lower body fat is one of the most difficult areas to reduce
with cardio or diet alone,
which is why lower body liposuction is a highly satisfying option
for many patients.
However, to achieve a successful result,
the procedure must be tailored to the patient’s body shape and condition.
In this case, the patient had X-shaped legs and uneven muscle development,
leading to noticeable asymmetry.
She also had reduced skin elasticity and under-butt creases,
which made a completely smooth leg line more difficult to achieve.
Still, the patient had a sufficient fat volume in the lower body,
and we determined that liposuction targeting the buttock balance
and overall body proportion would be effective.
After removing fat from the inner thighs and inner knees,
the patient achieved a noticeable thigh gap
and an overall more contoured lower body silhouette.
As the skin’s elasticity improves over time,
her leg line is expected to look longer and more refined.
While liposuction alone can effectively improve your body contour,
achieving a truly balanced and harmonious silhouette
requires more than simply removing large amounts of fat.
To get the best results,
it’s important to plan liposuction that is
customized to your body type and proportions,
rather than aiming for excessive fat removal.
This is a key factor that should never be overlooked.
