Most patients seeking liposuction for lower body obesity desire straight legs with a thigh gap. However, not everyone can achieve a thigh gap through liposuction, especially those with muscular thighs.

During pre-surgery consultations, we explain that results may vary based on muscle and fat mass, body type, and bone structure. Liposuction designed to match the body’s proportions can lead to more satisfactory results.

This patient had muscular thighs. The procedure focused on the inner, outer thighs, and medial knees, with Botox for muscle areas to create a smooth body line.

[Patient Information]

- Age: Late 20s

- Occupation: Office worker

- Height: 154cm

- Weight: 55kg

- BMI: 20

*Results of liposuction may vary for individuals with similar specifications.

The patient, despite being slim, had concentrated thigh fat.

The consultation indicated:

1. Muscular thighs with less fat.

2. Developed inner thigh muscles, risking prominent muscles post-liposuction.

3. Fat on medial knees curved the thighs, shortening the legs.

We proposed:

1. Balanced fat removal from inner, outer thighs, and medial knees.

2. Botox for inner thigh muscles to create a smooth leg line.

Here are comparison photos taken one month post-surgery.

[Before and 1 Month After Surgery]

- Areas: Inner, outer thighs, medial knees, inner thigh Botox

- Liposuction volume: 1,600cc

[100 Days Post-Surgery]

The photos show a transition to straight legs with gaps. By aligning the inner, outer thighs, and medial knees, the legs appear longer.

Bruises from abdominal liposuction migrated down due to gravity but improved over time, with exposure possible after three months. Proper post-surgery care can speed up recovery.
