Thighs
Thigh fat is not the same on every side
When we talk about thigh fat we tend to lump everything together, but the outer thigh (the saddlebags) is not the same as the inner or front thigh. This page focuses on the inner and front thigh and the area just above the knee.
The inner thigh has one particular feature: the skin is thinner and tends to lose firmness sooner. So when reducing volume, special care must be taken with skin quality so the result is balanced and laxity does not appear. It is also where the thighs rub when walking, which can cause irritation in summer.
Genetics and hormones largely determine where we store fat, and in many women the thighs are a preferred storage area that barely changes with diet. It is less common in men, but it does happen.
Before treating, we rule out other causes of volume in the legs. If we notice a symmetrical increase in volume that is tender to the touch, bruises easily and spares the feet, it may be lipoedema, which is not ordinary stubborn fat and needs a specific medical assessment. We also distinguish fluid retention and circulation problems.
This treatment is for you if…
- Your thighs rub together when you walk or your inner thighs get irritated in summer.
- You have volume on your inner thigh or above the knee that will not shift with exercise.
- You want your trousers to fit better without changing size.
- You prefer a gradual, non-surgical treatment.
If your main concern is the side of your hips, the saddlebags page is a better fit; if it is orange-peel skin, see the cellulite page.
Areas
Where we work on the thigh
Front thigh and above the knee
Fat at the front of the thigh and the ‘padding’ above the knee, which makes the leg look less slender.
Outer thigh: saddlebags
If you also have volume at the side of the hips, we include it in the same plan with its own approach.

Associated cellulite
When there is orange-peel skin in the same area, we combine techniques to improve the texture too.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about thigh fat removal
Can inner thigh fat be removed without surgery?
Yes, when it is stubborn localised fat. With techniques such as lipolytic laser or mesotherapy, volume is reduced gradually, and with radiofrequency we look after skin firmness, which is more delicate in this area.
What is the difference between thigh fat and saddlebags?
Saddlebags are the fat on the outer thigh, at the side of the hip. The thigh fat we treat here is on the inner and front thigh and above the knee. Each area has a different skin type and needs a different approach.
What if it is actually lipoedema?
Lipoedema is a disorder of the fatty tissue that causes bulky, symmetrical, painful legs that bruise easily. It is not treated as cosmetic stubborn fat, so if we suspect it may apply to you, we will recommend a specific medical assessment.
How many sessions do I need?
It depends on the amount of fat, the quality of your skin and the techniques combined. During your consultation we give you an approximate number of sessions.
Will my skin become loose when the fat is reduced?
That is the main risk on the inner thigh, which is why we include firming treatments in the protocol. If there is already significant laxity, we explain honestly what can be achieved.
Does it hurt?
These are non-surgical, well-tolerated techniques. You may feel warmth, mild discomfort or tenderness in the area for a few days.
How much does thigh fat removal cost in Torremolinos?
It depends on your case, the areas and the number of sessions. At your free consultation we give you a fixed, no-obligation quote.
