“Slim lipo on inner thighs and knees - hurt and disappointed”
Slim Lipo: NOT worth it
Cost: $5,500
Pain: Severe
Review of Slim Lipo:Pain: Severe
Slim Lipo satisfaction: Poor
I do not recommend my Slim Lipo provider: Name not provided
Why: Never never use anyone who is not a board-certified plastic surgeon. I thought it was a simple procedure and this person was skilled in this area. He is a maxillofacial surgeon after all.
My mother died 2 yrs ago and I have the same body shape (big thighs and knees). I wanted to wear skirts and a 2-piece bathing suit. I didn't want to end up looking like her. I still feel young and love the beach.
Now I have dark spots and hard knots in my legs. I also have a lot of loose skin which I didn't expect that to improve yet. It has been 2 mos. I didn't expect the knots and extreme swelling. Also gained a few pounds. What??

I've heard that lymphatic massage helps. Here's a related thread that explains a bit more: Massaging laser lipo lumps and bumps

I'm really Sorry about the problems you have had! I had slim lipo done a little while ago and had serious reservations about the surgeon yet went ahead anyway. I think I would have had much better results with the right surgeon and probably less complications. From what little I know I would agree that picking the right surgeon is critical.
