OVERVIEW PROCEDURES FAQS
Submit an enquiry

What is Thigh Fat?

Fat in the thighs can be located on the front (anterior), back (posterior), inner, or outer thighs. It may sit closer to the skin or deeper around the muscles. Differences in fat distribution are influenced by factors such as body type, genetics, and lifestyle.

What Can Influence Fat in the Thighs?

Genetics, diet, activity levels, sleep, and stress can all play a role in how the body stores fat. For some people, fat may be more noticeable in the thigh area.

Approaches to Managing Thigh Fat

Lifestyle measures such as balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, adequate sleep, and stress management support overall health and body fat management. Some people may find that fat deposits in the thighs remain unchanged despite these efforts.

About Thigh Liposuction

Thigh liposuction is a cosmetic surgery option provided by registered medical practitioners in accredited facilities. A consultation is required to determine whether this option may be appropriate. At your consultation, your practitioner will review your medical history, explain possible risks, recovery, and limitations, and discuss alternatives.

Outcomes differ between individuals, and no result can be guaranteed. All surgical procedures carry risks, which will be explained to you in detail at your consultation.

Thigh Liposuction FAQs

Does walking burn fat on the thighs?
While walking doesn’t directly burn thigh fat, it can help burn excess energy and put you into a calorie deficit, which in turn helps you lose weight across your entire body.
Is thigh liposuction safe?
As with all surgery, risks exist. Potential complications can include infection, swelling, bruising, scarring, and temporary or permanent changes in skin sensation, such as numbness or tingling. There is also a risk of asymmetry, fluid accumulation, or, in rare cases, blood clots or adverse reactions to anaesthesia. These risks will be explained in detail at your consultation.
Am I a suitable candidate for thigh liposuction?
Suitability can only be determined during a consultation with a registered health practitioner.
How much fat can liposuction remove?
In Australia, the rule is that no more than five litres of fat can be removed in one liposuction session.
