A 30-year-old lady from Shenzhen visited HANFEI Plastic Surgery Hospital for thigh liposuction,

annoyed by the stubborn fat on her inner thighs and upper outer thighs that affected her workout gear fit. As a full-time fitness coach, she wore high-waisted compression leggings daily to lead classes—but the excess fat made the leggings bunch at the inner thighs, and the “saddle bag” bulge on her outer thighs disrupted her form during squats and lunges. She didn’t want overly thin legs; instead, she hoped for a smooth, toned contour that would let her move freely and feel confident demonstrating exercises.
After a detailed assessment, I found her inner thigh fat layer was about 1.9cm thick, and the upper outer thighs had a localized fat deposit that created the “saddle bag” shape. We used a minimally invasive liposuction technique with 2.5mm micro-incisions—hidden in the groin crease and upper outer thigh fold to avoid visible scars. We focused on layered fat extraction to preserve the subcutaneous fat layer, which keeps the skin elastic and prevents sagging during high-intensity workouts. The surgery took around 1 hour and 40 minutes, and she was able to resume light cardio (like walking and cycling) the next day, though she avoided heavy strength training for a week.
By the end of the first month, the swelling had fully subsided, and her thighs looked sleek and symmetrical. The inner thigh bunching was gone, and the “saddle bag” bulge disappeared, making squats and lunges more comfortable. She sent me a photo of herself leading a leg-day class in gray compression leggings, saying, “I finally feel confident in my workout gear! My clients keep asking if I changed my training plan—no one suspects liposuction.” She added that her leggings now fit like a second skin, and she no longer has to adjust them mid-class.
