Even with strict diet and exercise routines,
many people struggle with stubborn fat
in certain areas like the abdomen, arms, and thighs.
Recently, more people across various age groups
have been turning to liposuction
for faster and more noticeable fat reduction
in their problem areas.
However, it’s important to remember that
just because many others choose surgery
doesn’t mean it’s right for everyone.
Understanding the procedure thoroughly
and undergoing preoperative medical tests
are essential for safe and successful results.
Before considering fat removal surgery,
you must check for any pre-existing conditions
and provide your doctor with accurate information
about your current health.
Be sure to inform your surgeon of any issues such as:
diabetes, anemia, hypertension, allergies,
hormonal disorders, past illnesses, or surgeries.
After a structured pre-surgery evaluation,
your doctor can determine if the procedure is right for you.
This step ensures safer surgery and
more satisfying body contouring results.

liposuction results can vary by individual.
Thigh liposuction in Korea was chosen
by this patient to improve uneven leg contours
that developed due to recent weight gain.
Her skin elasticity and muscle tone
were both within a normal range,
and she had sufficient fat volume for removal,
which indicated a likely visible improvement
after thigh liposuction.
However, because she had an X-leg alignment,
it was expected that a perfect straight gap
between the thighs might not be fully achievable
even after the procedure.
She also had a mild case of anemia,
so pre-surgery condition management and
iron supplementation were recommended
as part of her preparation.
Thigh liposuction was performed
to reduce the overall volume of the thighs,
but special attention was given to the patient’s
X-leg structure (knock knees).
Rather than removing all the fat aggressively,
a portion of the inner thigh fat was preserved
to maintain a natural-looking leg line
without exaggerating the bone alignment.
If bone structure is ignored and too much fat
is removed, the X-leg shape may appear worse,
and legs can look shorter as a result.
Since the patient had mild anemia,
her blood pressure and lab results were checked
in advance before surgery.
Due to slightly low levels, she was advised
to take iron supplements regularly.
After the procedure, iron injections were also
provided to ensure both aesthetic results
and stable overall health.
By reviewing photos taken one month after surgery,
you can clearly compare the results.
Thigh liposuction in Korea
helped reduce stubborn fat
concentrated in the thighs,
while carefully preserving the natural look
of the patient’s X-leg shape (knock knees).
The result is a slim thigh gap
and a more balanced, straight leg line,
closely matching the desired outcome.
Especially on the day of thigh liposuction surgery,
the photo the patient sent after returning home
clearly shows the change to a smooth, straight leg line
without uneven curves.
By removing fat from both inner and outer thighs,
while preserving small amounts
at key points to prevent an exaggerated X-leg shape,
the surgery achieved a more balanced and
naturally straight leg silhouette.
In this patient’s case, as mentioned earlier,
she had mild anemia prior to surgery.
Through preoperative tests, it was confirmed that
surgery could proceed, but to maintain stable levels
and prevent fatigue, she received iron supplements
and iron injections before and after the procedure.
Fortunately, her condition remained stable on the day of discharge,
and during her follow-up appointments,
she showed no health complications and was
recovering well postoperatively.
In liposuction surgery,
fat is not simply suctioned out—
a solution to dissolve fat is injected,
and during the procedure, body fluid and blood
may also be discharged to some extent.
Because the surgery is performed after prolonged fasting,
patients may experience dizziness and fatigue,
often leading to a temporary drop in iron levels.
However, this drop caused by liposuction
typically returns to normal over time,
so it’s important to eat nutritious foods
that support your recovery after surgery
and help restore your overall condition.
