🌟 What Is Leg Aesthetics?

Leg aesthetics refers to a group of cosmetic procedures performed to improve the shape, symmetry, proportion and overall appearance of the legs.

It is used to address:

  • Excess fat

  • Lack of volume

  • O-shaped legs (bow legs)

  • X-shaped legs

  • Calf asymmetry

  • Skin sagging

  • Muscle imbalance

  • Structural irregularities

In short, leg aesthetics provides a more refined, elongated and harmonious leg silhouette.


🧬 Which Procedures Are Included in Leg Aesthetics?

Leg aesthetics is not a single operation but a combination of procedures tailored to the individual’s needs.

🦵 1. Leg Slimming (Liposuction)

Liposuction removes stubborn fat from the inner knee, thighs, calves and hip area.
It is especially effective for fat that does not respond to exercise or diet.

💉 2. Calf Augmentation (Calf Filler)

Some patients naturally have very thin calves.
Hyaluronic acid fillers or special biocompatible fillers can be injected to increase calf volume and create a more balanced leg shape.

🦴 3. Correction of Bow Legs (O-Leg)

A lack of inner-leg volume can create the appearance of bow legs.
Fat transfer or fillers can be added to the inner calf to create a straight, natural leg line.

🔄 4. Vaser Liposuction for Leg Tightening

Vaser technology melts fat while tightening the skin at the same time — perfect for firmer, athletic-looking legs.

🔥 5. Laser or Radiofrequency Skin Tightening

For mild skin laxity, non-surgical tightening procedures improve firmness and skin quality.

🍑 6. Fat Transfer (Using the Patient’s Own Fat)

Fat taken from another area of the body can be injected into the legs to add volume or correct structural imbalances.
This method offers natural and long-lasting results.


👩‍⚕️ Who Is a Good Candidate for Leg Aesthetics?

Leg aesthetics is ideal for those who want to:

  • Improve leg symmetry or proportion

  • Slim thick legs or add volume to thin legs

  • Correct O-shaped or X-shaped leg appearance

  • Reduce knee-area fat

  • Create a more feminine, athletic or balanced silhouette

  • Gain confidence in skirts, dresses or shorts

At Forever Clinica, every procedure is customized because every patient’s leg structure is unique.
