Lower Body Liposuction: Sculpt Your Hips, Thighs, and Knees for a More Balanced Shape

For many, stubborn fat in the lower body can be difficult to eliminate, even with regular exercise and a healthy diet. This can affect body proportions and confidence. Lower body liposuction provides a safe, effective solution to target and remove fat, reshaping your silhouette.

In this guide, we’ll cover the most common treatment areas, how the procedure works, and what results to expect at Rattinan Clinic.

Fat can accumulate around the outer hips, creating wider curves or uneven contours that disrupt your desired body shape. Hip liposuction removes this excess fat, smoothing the curve from your waist to your thighs.

For those with hip dips (natural indentations between the hip bone and thigh), hip dip liposuction may be paired with fat grafting (adding fat) to fill in those hollow areas and create rounder, more feminine hips.

Benefits

• Smooths and balances hip contours
• Corrects asymmetry or uneven hip lines
• Enhances hourglass figure or improves body proportions

The thighs are one of the most common areas treated with liposuction because fat in this region is often resistant to exercise.

Depending on your goals, we may focus on one or several thigh zones:

1. Inner Thigh Liposuction
Removes fat between the thighs to reduce friction, create space, or achieve a thigh gap. This helps slim down the legs and make them appear longer and leaner.

2. Outer Thigh Liposuction (Saddlebags)
Targets the saddlebags—fat that bulges on the outer thighs, affecting the flow from the hips down the legs. Removing fat here creates smoother, slimmer hips and thighs.

3. Full Thigh Sculpting
For more balanced results, we may sculpt multiple zones: inner thighs, outer thighs, front, and back of the thighs. This creates a harmonious leg shape.

Fat deposits around the knees can make your legs look bulky or disrupt the natural lines from your thighs to your calves. Knee liposuction refines these areas, especially the inner and above-the-knee areas, giving the legs a sleeker and more elongated look.

Benefits

• Enhances leg definition
• Complements thigh or calf liposuction
• Subtle yet effective reshaping

The banana roll is a small fold of fat just below the buttocks where they meet the upper thighs. This area can be tough to slim down, even with targeted exercises.
Banana roll liposuction removes this fat, lifting the appearance of the buttocks and enhancing the thigh-to-buttock transition for a cleaner, more youthful shape.

Benefits

• Enhances buttock contour
• Improves definition between the butt and thighs
• Can be paired with buttock augmentation for fuller shaping

Some people have thick calves due to genetics or fat accumulation. Even with a lean body, bulky calves can make the legs look unbalanced.
Calf liposuction carefully removes excess fat around the lower legs, helping them appear slimmer and more defined. Since the calf area is muscle-dense, this procedure requires expert precision to maintain natural muscle lines.

Benefits

• Slimmer, more elegant calves
• Better definition between the calves and ankles
• Enhances the overall leg line

One common concern about thigh liposuction is scarring. Here’s the good news: at Rattinan Clinic, we use small incisions placed in discrete areas like the groin crease, behind the knees, or along natural skin folds.

With proper care and follow-up treatments (like scar gels or laser therapy), these scars fade significantly over time and become barely noticeable.

While tight hamstrings usually result from muscle stiffness or strain, liposuction around the back of the thighs can help sculpt the area, reducing bulk and improving the shape of the hamstring zone.

However, muscle tightness itself should be addressed with stretching or physical therapy, not liposuction.
