This is where aesthetic medicine provides a simple solution, to slim down thighs without surgery and regain a slimmer and more harmonious leg shape. Whether it is fat bulges or thigh cellulite, there is an effective way to remove thigh fat. Find out how.
The causes: why do thighs get fat?
Fat deposits appearing on the thighs are related to the accumulation of lipids in storage cells, the adipocytes. These fat deposits are caused by an increase in their volume (up to 50), and not by an increase in their number, which is fixed in adulthood.
These storage cells have a long-term storage role, difficult to harness: slimming is often long and difficult because it is hard to burn fat. The body always primarily mobilizes the short-term calorie reserves, the glycogen.
Losing thigh fat becomes all the more difficult as many factors contribute to this localized excess weight, such as hormones, sex, individual heredity, lifestyle...
How do men's thighs become fat?
Men are characterized by an android fat distribution with more adipocytes on the upper parts of the body, hence the belly or adipomastia of the thorax.
The fat on the thighs appears later, altering the dynamism of the silhouette.
How do thighs grow in women?
Women are defined by a gynoid model where the adipocytes are preferentially located in the lower parts of the body such as the buttocks, hips... and thighs.
This increase in thighs can therefore be premature.
Large thighs will then be worsened by the hormonal surges of pregnancy or menopause. They are often associated with excess fat on the pelvis, making the figure heavier,
sometimes even causing difficulties in dressing.
Depending on the case, it may be either classic fat bulges, or lipodystrophy with additional water retention: this is called cellulite, with orange peel skin.
This can evolve in 3 phases:
- Edematous thigh cellulite where water retention prevails.
- Adipose cellulite, where excess fat prevails.
- Fibrous thigh cellulite, where septa becomes fibrous. This fibrous partitioning "traps" the fat in dimples, under pressure, and is therefore sometimes painful.
