Liposuction of the thighs:

Liposuction of the outer thighs: "saddlebags" and "riding breeches" are the not very complimentary terms often used to describe the fatty accumulations in the outer or lateral thigh areas. It is actually fairly common to have a quite petite upper body combined with a mismatched and fuller lower body. These fat deposits may seem to have been present "forever", but often become apparent in early adulthood.

This fat is often highly resistant to diet or execise in those who have it. The area can be recontoured by liposuction with great success. If the buttock and hip areas also have deposits, even better results are obtained if the buttock and hip areas are recontured in combination with the outer thighs. Liposuction of these areas often makes a dramatic change in the way clothes fit (jeans, dresses and skirts especially) and patients are routinely very pleased about this change in particular after the procedure. See also saddlebags.

Liposuction of the inner thighs: the inner, or medial, thighs are a fairly common area of excess fat deposits. The excess fat can cause chafing and rubbing together of the thighs, as well as obliterate the normal contour. These fat deposits can be effectively treated with liposuction. Smaller cannulas can be used with tumescent liposuction than was the case before, so uneveness is much less common than in the past.
