Slimming results for thighs depend on the specifics

It all depends on the specifics: 1. Excess skin following lipo could benefit from compression,working out and in extreme cases a lift. 2. Dents and lumps: Much harder to treat.

The time since your lipo is an important factor,6-12 months is generaly needed to get the final result. Good Luck!
