Along with inner thighs, outer thigh is also one of the most common area of fat accumulation. Thighs can become bulky either due to genetic predisposition, after puberty or after pregnancy. In most of the cases, diet and exercise often fail to eliminate this fat deposition.

Fatty thighs can be a cause of embarrassment for many women as they convey an image of maturity and inactive lifestyle. Moreover it also gives a disproportionate look to the body. These women opt for outer thigh liposuction to visibly correct their thighs and create a long slender look.

Liposculpture of thighs is very rewarding and shows vast degree of improvement in shape. The long and slender thighs look younger and healthy. But liposuction of outer thighs should not be performed alone. It should be combined with the liposuction of inferior lateral buttock and the upper posterior thigh for optimal cosmetic results.
