Outer Thigh Liposuction in London
Outer thigh liposuction in London targets the lateral fat deposits — commonly called "saddlebags" — that sit between the hips and upper thigh. Reshaping this area dramatically improves the silhouette in trousers and dresses and creates a more balanced leg-to-hip ratio.

Outer thigh liposuction in London — sculpting the saddlebags
Lateral thigh fat is one of the most genetically determined deposits in the body and is notoriously resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction removes it directly, restoring a smooth line from hip to knee.
How the procedure is performed
Tumescent local anaesthetic is infiltrated through small incisions placed in the gluteal crease and lateral hip. PAL cannulas then remove fat in feathered passes for a smooth, symmetrical contour.
Recovery and aftercare
A high-waisted compression garment is worn for approximately six weeks. Light activity resumes within days, with the final contour refining over three to six months as swelling fully resolves.

Frequently asked
Common questions
Does outer thigh liposuction treat saddlebags?
Yes — outer thigh liposuction is the standard approach for saddlebag fat, smoothing the transition from hip to thigh.
Is one session enough?
In most cases a single session achieves the planned contour. A small refinement can occasionally be performed after six months.
How long do outer thigh results last?
The removed fat cells do not return, so results are long lasting when weight remains stable.
