Abdominal and Thigh Fat: Causes and Treatment Options

Unwanted fat in the abdomen and thighs is a common problem in both women and men. Fat accumulated in these areas can cause discomfort in terms of appearance and affect a person’s self-confidence. Fortunately, there are various methods available to reduce or completely eliminate this fat.

Why does fat accumulate in the abdomen and thighs?

The main cause of fat in the abdomen and thighs is usually related to sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet and aging. With age, muscle mass decreases and metabolism slows down. This leads to easy accumulation of fat in the absence of sufficient exercise.

What is Visceral Fat?

Visceral fat is the deep fatty tissue that surrounds the organs inside the abdomen. Even if the abdomen looks flat on the outside, it can be found as a deep layer inside the body. This type of fat is considered more harmful than subcutaneous adipose tissue.

Treatment Methods and Surgical Options

Liposuction (Fat Removal)

Liposuction is a surgical method that removes fat deposits in targeted areas of the body through cannulas and vacuum. It provides highly effective results in areas such as the abdomen, hips, waist and inner and outer thighs.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Abdominoplasty provides a flatter and more fit appearance by tightening the abdominal muscles as well as removing excess fat and sagging skin in the abdominal area. It is usually performed together with liposuction.

Mini Tummy Tuck (Mini Abdominoplasty)

The mini abdominoplasty procedure targets the lower abdomen and removes excess fat tissue and sagging skin in this area. It is a preferred method with a faster healing process.

Thigh Lift

Thigh lift surgery removes sagging skin and excess fat on the thighs, making the area look firmer and smoother. It is effective in sagging after sudden weight loss.

Micro-Liposuction

Micro-liposuction is a procedure performed using much thinner cannulas than traditional methods. It is an ideal solution especially for small and stubborn fat deposits.

CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is an innovative non-surgical method that destroys fat cells by freezing them. It is ideal for people who do not want surgery and gives successful results in reducing fat in the abdomen-thigh area.

Body Lift

Body lift surgery is a comprehensive surgical method that removes excess fat and sagging skin around the mid-body. It is especially applied in sagging after severe weight loss and provides a significant improvement.
