AVAN TOKYO’s Approach to Creating Elegant and Balanced Legs
One of the most common requests during thigh liposuction consultations is:
“I want a thigh gap.”
However, at AVAN TOKYO, we believe that a beautiful thigh contour is about much more than simply creating space between the legs.
Our goal is to create a smooth, straight line from the upper inner thigh down toward the knee.

Why Thigh Liposuction Is Highly Individual
Among all liposuction procedures, thigh liposuction is one of the most dependent on individual anatomy.
The final result is influenced not only by body fat but also by:
● Adductor muscle size
● Skeletal structure
● Skin elasticity
● Fat distribution
For this reason, two patients can have the same amount of fat removed and still achieve very different outcomes.

Why the Upper Inner Thigh Matters
The upper inner thigh plays a major role in the overall appearance of the legs.
When excess volume remains near the groin area, the legs may appear:
● Shorter
● Wider
● Less defined
In contrast, when a straight contour is created from the upper thigh downward, the legs often appear:
● Longer
● Slimmer
● More elegant
● Better proportioned

Case Study
This patient underwent:
● Circumferential thigh liposuction
● Buttock contouring liposuction
● Knee liposuction
● Calf liposuction
as part of a more comprehensive body contouring procedure.

Results at 3 Months
At only 3 months after surgery, a straighter thigh contour is already becoming visible.
Notable improvements include:
● Reduced fullness of the upper inner thighs
● Improved thigh gap
● Better lower-body proportions
● A more refined leg silhouette

Liposuction Alone Is Not Always Enough
The shape of the thighs is not determined solely by fat.
Patients with:
● Enlarged adductor muscles
● Significant skin laxity
● Previous weight fluctuations
may require additional treatments to optimize their results.
In some cases, skin-tightening procedures may be beneficial.

The AVAN TOKYO Philosophy
Our goal is not simply to remove fat.
We focus on creating:
● A straight upper-thigh line
● A natural thigh gap
● Balanced body proportions
● Longer-looking legs
Every treatment plan is customized according to each patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals.
