Have you all had a good day~?

Hello! This is Balance Lab, where we share tips for managing your body shape in a healthy way.

As the hot summer passes, it has become the season when those who had postponed their care are once again burning with determination.

First of all, when people hear the word “management,” many think of things related to appearance, such as looks and body shape. In particular, body shape is prone to losing its line if it is not properly managed, so many people seek medical solutions from plastic surgery clinics.

These days, there is a strong trend toward legs that are straight and long while still preserving the line of areas such as the pelvis. So while many people try to manage it themselves first, the thighs are the area where circumference decreases the slowest compared to other parts of the body.

In particular, the inner thighs and saddle bags are the areas where fat settles most easily.

The lower body has fewer beta receptors that help break down fat than the upper body, while alpha-2 receptors, which inhibit fat breakdown, are more abundant. Because of that, fat attaches more easily than in other areas, and once fat deposits settle there, they are hard to get rid of.

So even if you control body fat with every method available, such as diet and exercise, there is often little change in thigh circumference. In fact, rebound weight gain can occur, body fat may accumulate the fastest, and size changes can happen in an instant.

Thigh saddle bag reduction method, can it be done simply?

In fact, most methods that can be applied in daily life for dieting require a long time and consistent expense, such as a protein-focused diet and lower-body-specific exercise. That is why interest is high in plastic surgery solutions that can help reduce fat more simply and quickly.

The methods that can be applied in plastic surgery clinics include regular liposuction, fat extraction injections, fat-dissolving injections, and diet-customized IV therapy, among others. Among these, regular liposuction may involve restrictions in daily life for at least about a month, so many people want a more convenient way to lose weight.

So today, we will introduce thigh mini liposuction, which is a relatively simple process compared with liposuction.

Why does fat build up so easily on the thighs?

As mentioned earlier, the lower body, including the thighs, has fewer receptors that help break down fat than the upper body, and more receptors that inhibit fat breakdown. In short, this is an area where fat attaches easily and is difficult to lose.

Among these areas, the parts that ruin the leg line are the saddle bags and inner thighs.

Is saddle bag reduction possible with thigh mini liposuction?

First, saddle bags refer to the fat that bulges out along the outer thigh line when wearing pants, making it more prominent than the pelvis.

Some people naturally have this area, but there are also cases where it was not like that before and then suddenly became fuller.

The most common reason saddle bags develop is a misaligned pelvis.

If you have a habit of sitting with your legs crossed or maintain poor posture, saddle bags can build up more easily than in other people.

Also, if you sit for long periods, circulation worsens, and fat can build up not only on the outer thighs but also on the inner thighs.

However, because the circumference does not easily decrease quickly no matter what method is used, some people look for a way to reduce it without incisions through thigh mini liposuction.

For a slimmer thigh area

2nd-generation mini liposuction, OutFit Find the golden ratio!

Among saddle bag reduction methods, OutFit is simpler than regular liposuction and can be expected to be relatively more effective than dissolving injections. It can be called 2nd-generation thigh mini liposuction that does not require incisions.

In particular, because the goal is to refine the line by removing as much of the remaining surrounding fat as possible, OutFit directly extracts the volume occupied by excess fat cells that were widely distributed in the skin layer, reducing the number of fat cells. As a result, you can expect reduced size and area, creating a slim and smooth shape from the pelvis to the thigh line.

See for yourself how much has been reduced with mini liposuction

Can any saddle bags be reduced?

To properly reduce saddle bags, it is important to accurately analyze body shape and understand each person’s figure, fat distribution, and thickness, then design the saddle bag reduction method that is needed for me.

Therefore, Balance Lab Plastic Surgery divides thigh mini liposuction into three types: OutFit, OutFit Tight, and OutFit Max. In addition, a customized IV called the “Diet Cocktail,” which can help with fat breakdown, is also available.

All OutFit procedures are performed without a volume limit. However, when fat needs to be removed while also improving skin elasticity, we recommend applying “Tight,” and when a wide area of fat must be removed extensively, we recommend “Max.” All of these procedures are directly performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, and no incision or sleep anesthesia is needed.

It also involves very little restriction in daily life, and it can help your body shape become firm and slim even without wearing compression garments.

The beautiful leg lines of celebrities, no longer something to just look at.

Among the saddle bag reduction methods that are not easily reduced, the customized IV known as the Diet Cocktail is formulated according to the body type identified and analyzed by the obesity specialist and internal medicine specialist director at Balance Lab Plastic Surgery. It helps promote fat breakdown throughout the whole body, not just the saddle bags.

Its main ingredients are carnitine, arginine, and vitamin B5. Because it is composed of key ingredients essential for body fat breakdown, it can be a process that may help fat look more neatly organized, even in cases with cellulite.

If it is mini liposuction, what about scars?

Although we have introduced thigh mini liposuction, OutFit can actually be applied to the whole body, including the face, upper arms, abdomen, and thighs. Because there are no incisions, it has the advantage of reducing concerns about scars.

Even when fat is directly extracted, a specially developed ultra-fine cannula is used. This includes a cannula designed to prevent dents that can disrupt body contours, and a 3D cannula that allows neat fat extraction in all 360 degrees.

In regular liposuction, the suction tube used to remove fat is thick, so pain, swelling, and bruising can be severe. These issues are all caused by the cannula being too thick.

Therefore, Balance Lab designs and performs every procedure with the best interests of the slim results many people want and safety in mind.
