Thigh liposuction - Thin body (BMI 19), why are only the thighs a concern?
Hello, this is Dr. Pyongrim Choi
from Lesarts Plastic Surgery.
Even with a low body weight,
some areas may appear
more prominent than others.
In women,
it is common to have
a slim overall body shape,
but relatively
larger-looking
thigh contours.
The case introduced today
also involves
a BMI 19 slim patient.
She visited the clinic
to improve
her proportionally developed thighs.
The patient specifically
wanted a visible
thigh gap when standing.
She also hoped
to refine
the protruding front thigh line.
Rather than simply
removing a large amount of fat,
the goal was different.
The focus was
to create a natural
thigh gap without irregularities.
At the same time,
we aimed to smooth
the anterior thigh contour.
This case emphasized
a refined and natural
thigh line design.
[Patient Case]
Female, mid-20s
158 cm / 48 kg / BMI 19
Procedure area:
full thigh liposuction
Preoperative condition assessment for thigh liposuction
When evaluating the thighs,
the overall line is determined
by three key regions.
The anterior thigh,
medial thigh,
and lateral thigh.
In slim body types,
when thighs appear thicker,
there are common characteristics.
Limited thigh gap
due to inner thigh thickness,
is frequently observed.
Prominent anterior thigh volume
can make the thighs
appear wider from the front.
The lateral line
may not be pronounced,
but the silhouette looks heavy.
[Surgical approach]
Securing the ideal
inner thigh line
is a primary goal.
Rather than creating
a straight, artificial line,
natural curvature is preserved.
The contour is refined
along the muscle line,
from the upper thigh to the knee.
Reducing anterior thigh volume
in a gradual
and balanced manner.
To address
the forward protrusion,
fat over the muscle is refined evenly.
This enhances
the side profile
and overall contour.
The lateral thigh line
is preserved
for natural lower body balance.

Liposuction is not simply
about removing fat,
but requires an aesthetic approach.
It enhances strengths
while correcting
the limitations of body contour.

In this case as well,
without excessive removal,
refining the inner and anterior thigh volume
was enough to achieve
a clearly visible
body contour change.
If you are unsure
which line suits
your body best,
we recommend consulting
with a specialist
for accurate guidance.
In thigh liposuction,
what matters is not
how much is removed,
but how naturally
the contour is refined
and balanced.
