Outer Thigh Fat

What is outer thigh fat?

Outer thigh fat is a term that describes the accumulation of fatty tissues across the outer thigh areas. This area, at the side and front of a person’s leg, can look bulbous and inflamed if excess fat stores build up too much. This can affect a person’s self-confidence why making it difficult to fit comfortably into jeans, leggings or trousers.

What causes outer thigh fat?

Although solutions to get rid of stubborn outer thigh fat include leg exercises or going on a low-calorie diet, it’s hormones and genetics that determine whether fat gets burned or stored in this area.

The physiology of fat storage between men and women differs. While men tend to store excess fat around their waists, women tend to store fat in their thighs and hips, resulting in a ‘pear shape‘ or the formation of ‘thunder thighs.’

This is to meet the demands of pregnancy when fat stored in these areas acts as reserve energy for producing breast milk. When not pregnant, these fat stores, also known as saddlebags, are hard to shift – but there is a non-surgical procedure that can reduce unwanted extra thigh fat: CoolSculpting®.
