Outer Thigh Fat

As we age, we accumulate fat stores across diverse areas of our body. Outer thigh fat is a key problem for men and women, and can prevent us from fitting into our clothes comfortably. We can get rid of stubborn outer thigh fat using clinically proven non-invasive treatments that require no downtime or surgery.

What is outer thigh fat?

Outer thigh fat is a term that describes the accumulation of fatty tissues across the outer thigh areas. This area, at the side and front of a person’s leg, can look bulbous and inflamed if excess fat stores build up too much. This can affect a person’s self-confidence why making it difficult to fit comfortably into jeans, leggings or trousers.

What causes outer thigh fat?

Although solutions to get rid of stubborn outer thigh fat include leg exercises or going on a low-calorie diet, it’s hormones and genetics that determine whether fat gets burned or stored in this area.

The physiology of fat storage between men and women differs. While men tend to store excess fat around their waists, women tend to store fat in their thighs and hips, resulting in a ‘pear shape‘ or the formation of ‘thunder thighs.’

This is to meet the demands of pregnancy when fat stored in these areas acts as reserve energy for producing breast milk. When not pregnant, these fat stores, also known as saddlebags, are hard to shift – but there is a non-surgical procedure that can reduce unwanted extra thigh fat: CoolSculpting®.

How to lose outer thigh fat

CoolSculpting is the only FDA-cleared, non-surgical fat reduction treatment that delivers proven results without surgery, anaesthesia or downtime. This non-invasive, fat freezing (cryolipolysis) treatment is a body contouring method that reduces fat cells in outer thigh fat with results that are long-lasting and noticeable. Read more about minimising your thigh’s circumference in our dedicated ‘CoolSculpting for Thighs‘ blog.

Your practitioner will use the cool, smooth CoolSculpting applicator to target the thigh fat specifically.

Removing outer thigh fat non-surgically

At The Cosmetic Skin Clinic, we specialise in reducing outer thigh fat without the use of invasive liposuction or surgical treatments, which require downtime and can produce negative side effects, Our best treatment for sculpting outer thigh fat is CoolSculpting thanks to its permanent fat reduction results. However, we also offer complementary treatments that can help patients to firm up and tighten the skin across their outer thighs. The result is a slender, leaner look that oozes youth and vitality, without any exercise or downtime needed.

Thermage Outer Thigh Fat Treatment

Thermage CPT is a leading skin tightening and lifting treatment that uses advanced radiofrequency energy to boost collagen production in our skin. When combined with CoolSculpting, it can help reshape and contour the outer thigh area by lifting up sagging skin that may have gathered around the outer thighs upon fat accumulation. This can help patients dramatically enhance the shape of their outer thighs while minimising pockets of fat in this area.

Ultherapy Outer Thigh Fat Treatment

Ultherapy is another one of our leading skin tightening and lifting procedures. It utilises ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. This helps patients to redefine the shape of their outer thighs when blended with a fat freezing treatment like CoolSculpting. The result is a reduced thigh circumference combined with tighter, lifted and firmer skin across the outer thigh zone.
