Thank you for all the fabulous advice doctors, I am getting SmartLipo done on my hips, inner/outer thighs and I am also getting a "bunny roll" done. I'm going on a cruise a few weeks after the procedure, so i hope to look somewhat decent by then. Also, from those pictures of the girl above, she does NOT look like she needs lipo, she has an amazing body as far as i am concerned!
