When excess fat accumulates
in the lower body over time,
it can disrupt the overall body contour
and lead to discomfort in daily life—
such as limited mobility
or inner thigh chafing—
which may eventually develop
into a lower body complex.
In such cases, where specific areas of fat
create physical and emotional stress,
thigh liposuction can help reduce volume
and restore a slimmer leg silhouette.
To maintain the results
after thigh liposuction,
it is important to address
the lifestyle factors
that contribute to lower body obesity
and correct habits
that may trigger fat accumulation.
The patient featured today had experienced
weight gain due to unhealthy lifestyle habits,
leading to increased volume in her thighs.
Through thigh liposuction,
she successfully reshaped her legs
into a smoother, more balanced contour.
Let’s review the changes
through the before-and-after comparison below.
[Patient Information]
Age: Early 30s
Occupation: Office worker
Height: 170 cm
Weight: 62 kg
BMI: 21
Even with similar body measurements,
liposuction results may vary by individual.
This patient had gained approximately 6kg
in just 4 months prior to surgery.
As a result, she developed noticeable fat
in the inner thighs and saddlebag area,
which caused visible volume increase
and emotional stress.
According to her body shape analysis,
this patient had the following characteristics:
1.She had a wide pelvis and a long lower body.
2.Her skin elasticity was moderate,
and she had a fat-dominant body type
with a high overall fat volume.
3.Notably, she carried heaviness in the buttocks
due to excess fat in that area.
Based on these findings,
we proposed the following thigh liposuction surgery plan:
1. We planned thigh liposuction
to reduce the increased volume
caused by weight gain,
with the goal of achieving
a more slender and balanced leg shape.
2. To prevent buttock sagging
and improve lower body symmetry,
we also included hip line liposuction
as part of the procedure.
Below is the comparison photo
taken before surgery
and 7 months after thigh liposuction.

Prior to surgery, this patient experienced
a rapid increase in weight.
She underwent thigh liposuction
to reduce thigh volume
and achieve a slimmer leg contour.
Although hip line liposuction
—which could have further addressed
buttock sagging and lower body balance—
was not performed,
the 7-month post-op photos clearly show
that the thigh liposuction alone helped highlight
her pelvic curve, resulting in a more feminine
and smoother leg line.
This patient had undergone a period
of rapid weight gain before the procedure.
While she achieved satisfying results
from the thigh liposuction,
we advised her to maintain the outcome
through consistent exercise
and healthy eating habits
to preserve the slim leg silhouette.
