Why some body types can't get a thigh gap
Why some body types can't get a thigh gap
Some people's thighs touch no matter how much weight they lose. This is not a question of weight.
Pelvic width decides the thigh gap
Whether a thigh gap is possible depends heavily on pelvic width and the angle of the femur. In a body type with a narrow pelvis and an inwardly angled femur, no gap appears even with no inner-thigh fat at all. That is a structural characteristic.
Body types with concentrated inner-thigh fat
There are also cases where the skeleton would allow a gap but a thick inner-thigh fat layer closes it. Here, measuring inner-thigh fat thickness and distribution with ultrasound makes it possible to anticipate whether a gap would appear after liposuction. It is not simply possible or impossible.
The line matters more than the gap
Depending on body type, a thigh gap may or may not be a reasonable goal. What matters is not the gap but how the thigh line reads. NB does not set out to create a gap regardless; the skeleton and fat distribution are analysed to design the line that is most natural for you.
