Where are the saddlebags, the inner thigh line and the line under the buttocks? Deciding the range for thigh liposuction
Pretty Body and Line Clinic
At Pretty Body and Line Clinic, we set the range for the thigh by looking at the full 360 degrees of the thigh together with the saddlebags, the inner thigh line and the line under the buttocks. This is because the front, inner, back and outer surfaces of the thigh are connected, so suctioning only one surface makes it look out of step with the others.
Where each term refers to
All three are expressions commonly used in liposuction consultations, not medical terms. The saddlebags (승마살) are on the outer thigh, the spot below the buttocks that bulges out to the side. The inner thigh line (샤넬라인) runs from front to back along the inner thigh, and the line under the buttocks (엉밑라인) is the border where the buttocks meet the back of the thigh. The full 360 degrees of the thigh means looking around all of these surfaces together.
Borders we pay particular attention to
The borders above the knee and below the buttocks are where the line can easily appear broken, so at Pretty Body and Line Clinic we pay particular attention to that transition. Where to finish naturally matters as much as where to suction and how much.
What to know during recovery
The thigh is used constantly in walking and sitting in daily life, so wearing the compression garment and your posture during recovery affect the result. The contour keeps changing while the swelling goes down, so the final result is assessed over time.
Who decides the range?
In a consultation at Pretty Body and Line Clinic, the director examines your body shape and fat layer in person and starts by deciding which areas to suction and to what extent. The director who set the range performs the surgery, and the areas and range decided in the consultation are confirmed with you once more before surgery.
