Thigh Liposuction
A surgery that creates slim thighs,
removing fat evenly from the outer and inner thighs, above the knees, and the back of the thighs.
Thigh Liposuction
Localized obesity of the thighs is one of the typical features of lower-body obesity, which is surprisingly common among Korean women. When fat accumulates in the thighs, it usually builds up evenly over the whole thigh, so it is important to treat the entire thigh in a balanced way when removing it. Wearing a compression garment for about 3 months after the procedure also helps create slimmer thighs.

Thigh Liposuction Q&A
-
How soon after thigh liposuction can I exercise?Light walks and everyday activities are possible about 1 week after surgery. However, it is best to avoid vigorous exercise and strenuous activity for at least 3 weeks. It is important to consult the medical staff and resume exercise at a pace that suits your recovery.
-
Will there be bruising or swelling on the thighs after surgery?Bruising and swelling are common after surgery, and their extent varies from person to person. Most bruising disappears within 2 weeks, and swelling gradually subsides over 3–4 weeks. Wearing a compression garment as directed by the medical staff during this period helps reduce swelling.
-
Can the skin sag after thigh liposuction?If skin elasticity is insufficient after fat removal, slight sagging can occur. To prevent this, the medical staff plan the surgery with skin elasticity in mind and may recommend an additional lifting procedure if needed.
