More people are turning to liposuction
for body contouring and shape management,
regardless of age.
With the growing popularity of
full-body liposuction in Korea,
many patients dream of achieving
a slimmer and sculpted silhouette.
However, as the procedure becomes more common,
a careful and well-informed approach is essential.
Choosing liposuction based on the misconception
that “removing more fat means a slimmer body”
can lead to serious complications—
from health risks to uneven contours,
sagging skin, and wrinkles.
That’s why patients considering high-volume liposuction
must undergo a thorough health check
and carefully consult with an experienced surgeon
to ensure the procedure is both safe
and based on a customized surgical plan.

Even with similar body stats,
results from liposuction surgery
may vary depending on the individual.
This case of thigh liposuction in Korea
features a patient who gained about 10kg
within a year and sought to remove excess fat
from her arms, abdomen, and thighs
for a slimmer overall silhouette.
She visited Lesarts Plastic Surgery
with the goal of full-body liposuction
to reshape her figure through fat removal.
Before the consultation,
the patient asked whether full-body liposuction—
including arms, abdomen, and thighs—
could be done in a single day.
However, when large areas like the abdomen and thighs
are involved, same-day surgery can be risky.
We explained that liposuction volume,
blood test results, and health screening
must be thoroughly reviewed to ensure safety
and proper surgical planning.
Although the patient had gained 10kg,
she originally had a very slim body type.
Even with her recent weight gain,
her total fat volume wasn’t excessive.
Still, attempting full-body liposuction in one day
would have resulted in significant fat removal,
so we planned a staged approach.
First, we performed arm and abdominal liposuction
to contour the upper body.
After confirming safe recovery and no health issues,
we proceeded with a second-stage thigh liposuction
to balance her overall proportions
and complete the upper-lower body transformation.
One month after upper body liposuction in Korea,
we assessed the patient’s thighs to plan the next step
toward achieving a balanced upper and lower body.
Her skin elasticity was moderate,
and her muscle mass in the thighs was relatively low.
Despite gaining 10kg before surgery,
she had no excess fat in the back of her thighs
or under the buttocks,
and there was already a natural thigh gap.
Rather than reducing thigh volume drastically,
we designed the procedure to refine the silhouette,
focusing on a slimmer and smoother leg line
with contour-oriented thigh liposuction.
In addition, we noticed a visible hip dip,
which caused unevenness when viewed from the front.
To address this, we proposed hip fat transfer
to fill the indentation near the hip bone
and create a more even, curvy lower body.
You can now see the changes in her lower body shape
through comparison photos taken
one month after her thigh liposuction surgery.
Thigh liposuction in Korea helped this patient
smoothly refine the uneven fat pockets
that had been scattered across her thighs,
resulting in a more straight, clean leg line
compared to before surgery.
Although she had visible hip dips at the pelvis,
the patient chose not to undergo fat transfer,
so we used liposuction alone
to soften and balance the hip curve as much as possible.
By removing fat from the saddle area on the outer thighs,
we corrected the previously uneven leg contours
and shaped them into a smoother, straighter silhouette.
As shown in the comparison photos,
the liposuction was carefully adjusted
to improve lower body balance
and to subtly reduce the appearance of hip dips.
She now has the smooth, straight-leg shape
she originally hoped to achieve.
In the selfies provided by the patient
from various angles before and after surgery,
you can clearly see how thigh liposuction in Korea
reshaped the previously uneven leg lines—
which were hard to fix with diet alone—
into a longer and slimmer silhouette.
At the time of her follow-up visit,
she was still in the early recovery stage,
so we advised her to wear compression garments,
maintain proper skin hydration,
and continue receiving radiofrequency aftercare
provided by Lesarts Plastic Surgery.
Once the remaining swelling subsides,
even more refined and sculpted leg lines
are expected in her final results.
