I am Seong Hyun-ju, director of Cheongdam OK Clinic,

Many people who are concerned about lower-body obesity

think that only the outward protrusion they can see from the outside

is the problem.

Before/After

However, in actual consultations, the volume on the inner thighs

often serves as the central factor.

When this area is thick, the legs touch each other,

eliminating the gap, and the outer sides appear relatively

wider.

Rather than reducing the outer side first, the inner balance

needs to be adjusted so that the overall proportions are

naturally refined.

Especially when considering movement not only while standing

but also while walking,

the central area needs to be addressed first for the leg line

to appear smooth.

It is not simply about removing a lot; what is treated first

can determine the outcome.

Structural reasons why the inner thighs are the center

The shape of the legs is determined by the bone structure,

muscles, and fat distribution together.

Before/After

The inner side is an area where the skin is relatively thin

and is directly affected by gravity.

If this area is thick, even if the outer side is reduced as much

as possible, a gap will not form.

On the other hand, if the central area is removed excessively,

skin sagging or uneven surfaces may become visible.

Therefore, in liposuction, controlling depth is more important

than width.

If the shallow and deep layers are not distinguished and treated

separately, it is difficult to achieve a smooth line.

Rather than a simple area-based concept, thickness and elasticity

must also be evaluated together to expect stable results.

Factors to check in a liposuction plan

During consultation, both standing and lying positions are observed.

you need to look at the difference between when weight is borne

and when it is not in order to predict changes in actual movement.

In addition, pelvic tilt, knee direction, and calf proportions

must also be considered to ensure overall harmony.

the cause may be pelvic rotation or body-shape issues rather than

lower-body obesity.

In such cases, distribution adjustment is needed rather than

excessive removal.

It is safer to set the liposuction range based on the inner side

and, if needed, complement it from the front or back.

Taking too much out at once can increase swelling and pain.

To maintain results stably

The results after liposuction do not appear immediately.

In the initial stage, swelling and bruising occur, and time is

needed for the tissues to settle.

Generally, the outline gradually becomes visible after 2 to 3 weeks,

and stabilizes around 3 months.

During the recovery period, wearing compression garments and

walking lightly are essential.

Excessive exercise can worsen early swelling.

Above all, the most important point is to check whether the inner

area has been sufficiently addressed.

Only when the central area is balanced can it connect naturally

to the outer and back areas.

Before/After

Thigh design is not a technique for removing as much as possible,

but a process of understanding the structure and following the right order.
