July 5, 2012
I am twenty years old and have always hated my body, as an athlete it is frustrating to carry extra bits of fat on my hips and in between my thighs when I work so hard to eat right and exercise both in and out of practice. I finally decided to have this procedure, and even if it isn't exactly what I want I can't deal feeling the way I feel forever. My procedure for my trouble spots is set for 9:00 am on Thursday August 2. I am terrified but I think this is a worthwhile investment. Removal of this fat might allow me to accomplish more as a runner and team player than ever before, considering less weight=higher potential for me to jump higher and run faster. This procedure is not a fix all but a boost to continue taking care of myself!

Great review?

It won't let me post without saying something here. I am an out of state client and they were very helpful in getting everything set up based on my photos.

A lot of people think that lipo is for fat women but it's actually called lipo sculpting because it's just that. I understand where you are coming from. I'm a very skinny person with no visible HUGE fat pockets anywhere but I want a smaller waist, smaller thighs... so I'm getting this done AND I'm getting some fat grafted to my butt.

Can't wait! how are you doing?

Well....my doctor does do calf sculpting! I am going in 9/25 to see if there is anything he can do for me. From my lips to gods ears......wish me luck!!

How long after lipo until you could lift? My kids are 25, 28 and 44 lbs.

Hi! I'm 21 years old as well ! In having liposuction of my lower abdomen next week my area looks like the same amount as yours, I was wondering on how your bruising and swelling went? What technique did you have done? And how long did you wear your garment!

Wow...I wrote a long note, but apparently it did not post. There is absolutely no need for you to have liposuction. Any body image issues you may have are just that...your body issues. From an objective standpoint, you have a great figure that the vast majority of women wish they could have. You are only 20...if you are unhappy with your body now, you will be miserable as you age, because things inevidably shift and sag. Please do not subject yourself to the liposuction. See a counselor to work on your body image...or ask your good friends for their honest opinions.

And shame on your doctor for agreeing to perform the surgery.

Vallii: My biggest issue is that I am asymmetrical for my hips, which always causes my jeans to fit funny. I haven't had a chance to read yours yet, but I will definitely go take a look now!

Kw37165: Good luck to you in September. When I transitioned from being a sprinter to endurance training, my calves bulked up so it's primarily muscle that makes them so large. However, I'm sure if they do knee lipo, they also can do calf reduction.

I have the same trouble spots....I'm active just can't loose in the thigh area specifically . 3 kids in 4 years I am taking the plunge late septembwer. I also have large calves....have you heard of anyone doing a calf reduction?
