Office workers who sit for long hours
and students who study at desks for extended periods
often accumulate fat in the thighs and buttocks
due to poor posture.
In contrast, service workers who stand for long hours
are prone to swelling from remaining in one position,
and this swelling can eventually harden into fat deposits.
Such different causes can lead to lower body obesity,
where fat accumulates disproportionately in the lower body
compared to the upper body.
Even people with a relatively low overall body weight
can experience this type of lower body fat distribution.
The patient was 163 cm tall,
weighed 55.4 kg,
and had a BMI of 20.9.
Her main concerns were the inner thighs and saddlebag area.
As a teacher who stands all day,
she often experienced swelling,
leading to lower body obesity
with fat concentrated in the thighs.
She wanted a straight leg line
to make her legs appear longer,
and to smooth out the bulging saddlebag area.
When there is excess fat in the inner thighs,
the skin can rub together,
causing chafing and pain.
In severe cases,
pigmentation can occur due to skin friction,
which is why many women
choose to undergo thigh liposuction for correction.

In the patient’s case,
during inner thigh liposuction,
we recommended also targeting the inner knee area
(commonly referred to as the Chanel Line)
where there was a noticeable amount of fat accumulation.
When there is excess fat in the inner knee area,
it creates a bulge in the middle of the leg,
interrupting the straight line from the thighs to the calves.
This visual interruption
can make the legs appear shorter than they actually are.
Through inner knee (Chanel Line) liposuction,
along with inner thigh fat removal,
the mid-leg bulge is corrected,
creating a smooth, straight leg line down to the calves.

For the outer thighs,
significant improvement can be difficult due to muscle mass.
However, since there was a large amount of fat,
a visible liposuction effect was expected.
Additionally,
to meet the patient’s desire for a maximum straight leg line,
we explained that after thigh liposuction,
the calves might appear relatively larger.
Thus, we recommended calf Botox treatment after surgery
to enhance the overall leg line balance.
The patient did not prefer an overly thin leg look,
so we performed liposuction to achieve the slimmest possible line,
while maintaining a feminine, curved silhouette.
Although the patient did not proceed with the additional
Chanel Line liposuction and calf Botox we had recommended,
reshaping the saddlebag area and inner thighs alone
successfully created a longer-looking leg effect.
At our clinic,
we always prioritize understanding the patient’s individual goals,
carefully considering their body shape, proportions, and desired lines.
We are committed to continuous refinement and effort,
to deliver surgical results that satisfy both the patient and our team.
