I have been stressed about my lower body for a really long time T_T. Even though I exercise consistently, the inner thighs and saddlebag fat somehow remained until the end. In particular, my lower body is more prominent than my upper body, so when I wore pants or leggings, the saddlebag fat protruding on the outer thighs bothered me most. I exercised for a long time and lost a lot of weight while dieting, but even when I lost weight overall, this area did not change as much as I expected. So after deliberating, I got liposuction injections, and enough time has passed now that I can see the before-and-after difference, so I am leaving a review! At first, pain was my biggest concern. Since it was done on my thighs, I felt sore and uncomfortable moving immediately afterward, and had bruising and swelling. It was not to the extent that I could not manage daily life at all, as I had imagined, and it gradually improved over time. At first, there was swelling, so I even wondered, “Huh? Is there no difference?” lol. As the swelling subsided with time, I gradually began to see the contour. The part I am most satisfied with is the saddlebag line! In old photos, the area extending from below my hips to the outer thighs protruded outward, but now it seems to continue more smoothly than before. As my inner thighs have gradually become more defined too, I like that my lower body looks slimmer than before when I wear leggings or shorts. Personally, what I realized after liposuction injections is that rather than looking only at the number on the scale, comparing my body silhouette in photos while wearing the same clothes shows the difference much better. I am still dieting and also exercising and managing my diet. It is not like I received just one procedure, did nothing else, and suddenly my legs became dramatically thinner! However, I am satisfied that the overall lower-body proportions look different as the saddlebag area, which remained especially noticeable even when I lost weight, has become more defined. Looking at the changes after my liposuction injections so far, I especially prefer the change in the saddlebag area rather than the inner thighs. When I place before-and-after photos side by side, even I can see that the outer contour has become smoother than before, so these days I keep looking at my lower-body line when taking photos lol. Of course, body type, fat volume, and the rate at which swelling subsides will differ from person to person, so results will likely vary individually. If, like me, you are deliberating because certain areas such as the inner thighs or saddlebag fat keep remaining despite exercise or dieting, I think it is best to watch the process of the swelling going down sufficiently rather than judging only how it looks immediately after the procedure. I am still maintaining my routine and losing weight, so I am curious how my lower-body line will change after I lose a little more haha. If there are more changes after some time, I will leave another review!
