The “Saddle-bags”, or outer thighs, are another popular area treated with tumescent liposuction. The fat in this area of the body is often strongly inherited and hormonally influenced. This area is completely resistant to diet and exercise. Treating this area often allows the individual to wear clothes that fit both the waist and thighs. Often prior to liposuction, they have to purchase clothes that fit the thighs but are too large for the waist. When the accumulation of fat is removed in this area, it can change a patients silhouette.
