Key takeaways
Thigh VASER liposuction plus fat transfer breast augmentation case: thick thighs that didn't change despite regular exercise and getting down to 45 kg. After an assessment with Dr. Yen-Hao Chiu, fat was harvested from the thighs and transferred to the breasts. Some of the transferred fat was absorbed, leaving a final size better suited to her petite frame. She gained 3 kg a month after surgery, but the treated areas didn't noticeably fill back in.

I'm Shih-Yu. I've never been a chubby girl, but for some reason my thighs never slimmed down. Especially in school, when girls had to wear uniform skirts that showed our legs, the boys in class would joke about them. It didn't bother me too much, but sometimes it still hurt, and I had no confidence in my thighs.
Scrolling Instagram, I always envied influencers' figures. My favorite is petite like me, but her legs look super slim, and I'd imagine what it would feel like to finally get rid of my thick thighs...
Exercising daily to lose weight, but my thick thighs wouldn't budge
I tried running and a home exercise bike, working out every day to lose weight. My weight dropped to 45 kg at one point, but my legs were just as thick. Maybe my thighs are naturally hard to slim and store fat easily, which is why I wanted VASER liposuction to finally fix the thick thighs that had bothered me for so long.
I'm very much a doer; when I want something, I go for it. It took me just two weeks to decide on VASER liposuction. I also work in aesthetic medicine and have seen many clients' cases, and VASER has lots of advantages over other liposuction methods: besides removing more fat with a higher fat survival rate, it even tightens the skin afterward.
My first general anesthesia, and one way to calm my nerves
I was really looking forward to VASER liposuction, finally getting rid of my thigh fat, and wasn't nervous at all until the night before. Then I got nervous and worried, since liposuction is major surgery and it was my first time under general anesthesia. I worried the surgery might start before the anesthesia took effect, and since I hadn't brought a friend or family member, being alone made my mind race. Dr. Yen-Hao Chiu, who performed my VASER liposuction, and the nurses saw how nervous I was and kept encouraging me and cheering me on. I'm especially grateful to Dr. Chiu for explaining the procedure in detail, which let me go through it smoothly and calmly.
It has to be noticed at a glance! The breasts were my first choice for fat transfer
I chose my breasts for the fat transfer. They weren't big, and if I'm transferring fat, of course I want it somewhere people notice at a glance; my breasts are the part that shows me off best. It's been about three months since my VASER fat transfer to the breasts, and for fat transfer I'd rate it 9, because the difference is real. My breasts are quite different from before, and friends and family all think they're clearly bigger and have only positive things to say.
Fat transfer looks natural, but it has the downside that some of the fat is lost. I lost some during recovery, and my breasts did get a little smaller, but I actually prefer the current size. I'm petite, and right after the transfer they were too big and looked a bit out of proportion. After recovery they look better than ever.
Daily life wasn't very inconvenient; I just had to avoid pressing on my breasts. During recovery I used nipple covers instead of a bra, and I avoided alcohol and spicy or irritating food, which all help healing.
Will the weight come back after VASER liposuction?
Many people wonder whether you can regain weight after VASER liposuction. A month after surgery I stopped watching what I ate and gained 3 kg. The good news is that, because of the liposuction, my thighs didn't go back to how they were even though I'd put on weight. The areas without liposuction did change, of course... No wonder people trying to lose weight end up choosing liposuction; it really is a fast and effective way to get rid of fat.
Three changes VASER liposuction brought
After VASER liposuction, I noticed three clear changes. First, I'm more confident in my clothes. I used to have nothing to show, so I never wore anything very sexy. Since the fat transfer to my breasts, my style is completely different; I can pull off much sexier outfits and walk with more confidence.
Second, I really do get more attention. When I wear low-cut tops to clubs, guys often approach me, and with a better figure I feel more confident talking to them.
Third, I'm in a much better mood. Before, when I undressed to shower and looked in the mirror, I didn't like my figure or breast shape and even avoided seeing myself naked. Since VASER liposuction and fat transfer to the breasts, I'm more confident in my body and much happier!
Five-star aftercare: why I chose NAISS CLINIC
I chose NAISS CLINIC for my VASER liposuction and fat transfer to the breasts. Besides being on the clinic's staff myself, the main reason is the excellent service. I've seen many clients come in for surgery, and the consultants and nurses explain everything warmly and patiently and calm clients' anxiety, so they stay at ease throughout.
NAISS CLINIC also has plastic surgeons on site, so you don't have to worry about not finding a doctor if something comes up, and you can come back regularly for follow-ups. It's certified by VASER's manufacturer, so I had no worries about the quality of the surgery. Aftercare includes scar-fading treatments such as scar injections, pigment-fading laser and light-based repair therapy to reduce swelling and shorten recovery. The consultant told me that for follow-ups I only need to show up; dedicated staff handle the rest of the aftercare, which really put my mind at ease!
