No one ever wants to hear the term ‘thunder thighs’ in conjunction with their body. Sadly, women are often predisposed to gain weight in their thighs from the time that estrogen begins to flow during puberty. Excess fat in the thighs is also related to an individual’s lipolytic threshold, which has to do with how they process fats.
The first way to attack heavy thighs is always a lower calorie diet and exercise, so in other words, a healthier lifestyle.
However, there is no way to lose fat in a specific body area before others – for instance, you might experience weight loss develop toned arms but still not see slimmer thighs even after consistent exercise. Again, the rule of where a person gains and loses pounds is based on genetic markers.
That being said, sometimes the area is still resistant to diet and training because of those genetic factors at play, so other methods, including liposuction, can be the answer.
Dr. Thomas Su at the Artistic Liposculpting Center in Tampa has helped hundreds of woman with full, circumferential lipo of the thighs all the way down to their knees. Such exact body sculpting on that problematic area in female patients can be an image booster, but they should keep in mind an ideal thigh size that is proportional for their weight and height.
A skilled surgeon like Dr. Su can work with patients one-on-one to discuss not only their wants, but also what the best shape for that woman is.
