Many patients consider thigh liposuction
to achieve straighter and longer-looking legs.
However, some individuals have
natural skeletal shapes, like X-leg alignment,
that may limit the results
regardless of how much fat is removed.
Because many patients desire a “straight leg” look,
it’s critical to plan thigh liposuction
based not only on fat volume
but also on visual balance and proportion.
Patients with X-legs or O-legs,
or with a muscular lower body,
should consult experienced surgeons
who have handled similar cases.
This ensures the best aesthetic outcome
while minimizing structural limitations.
Effective thigh contouring is not about
removing the maximum fat volume.
It requires a strategy that reflects
your leg shape, fat-to-muscle ratio,
and how the thighs, hips, knees, and calves
visually connect and influence the final line.
Today’s patient had a muscular lower body
with a noticeable X-leg alignment.
Through a combination of thigh liposuction
and hip line liposuction,
she transformed her previously uneven thigh shape
into a smoother, more balanced leg contour.
Let’s take a closer look
at her before and after photos
to see how her silhouette has changed.
[Patient Information]
Age: Early 30s
Occupation: Professional
Height: 155cm
Weight: 54kg
BMI: 22
Results may vary depending on individual conditions,
even with similar body types.
Since childhood, this patient had a muscular lower body,
making it difficult to slim down her thighs with exercise alone.
She visited us after years of consistent effort
with targeted thigh-slimming workouts,
yet she couldn’t achieve the leg shape she wanted
through fitness alone.
Body analysis showed that this patient
had moderate skin elasticity and muscle volume,
with sufficient fat across the entire thighs
for effective liposuction.
Fat was mainly concentrated in the inner thighs,
suggesting the possibility of achieving
a defined thigh gap after the procedure.
However, due to her X-leg alignment
and developed outer thigh muscles,
achieving a perfectly straight leg shape
through liposuction alone
was expected to be difficult.
She also had excess fat in the buttocks,
which created a heavy lower body appearance.
[Surgical Plan]
1.We proposed 360-degree thigh liposuction
to reduce overall lower body volume.
2.Given her X-leg shape
and developed outer thigh muscles,
we focused not on straightening the legs completely,
but on improving the lines
through contour-focused thigh liposuction.
3.To address the heavy appearance of her buttocks,
we also included a hip line liposuction plan.
We explained that some fat would be preserved
beneath the buttocks to prevent sagging
and maintain a lifted shape.
Below are the before and after photos,
taken 5 months after the thigh liposuction procedure.

Treated Areas: Thighs, Hip Line
Fat Removed: 4,400cc
This patient had an X-leg (valgus leg) shape
with developed outer thigh muscles.
Even with thigh liposuction and hip line liposuction,
achieving the “perfectly straight legs” she envisioned
was expected to be challenging.
However, by removing excess fat
from the entire thigh area in a balanced manner,
our goal was to smooth the curved silhouette
and create a more slim and refined leg contour.
At 5 months post-op, the comparison photos
show a visibly smoother thigh line than before.
Previously, her buttock volume
made her legs appear shorter.
By adding hip line liposuction
to reduce heaviness in the glutes,
we not only prevented sagging
but also improved her lower body proportions.
Before surgery, she had a muscular lower body
and struggled to slim her legs through exercise alone.
Though she achieved satisfactory results
through thigh liposuction,
we advised her to maintain her improved contour
by continuing a healthy diet and fitness routine
for long-lasting outcomes.
