I'm looking to get my ankles, calfs, knee, outer thigh and medial thigh lipoed. I've struggled with this area for a majority of my life and I want to get rid of it once and for all. I'm 24... 5'1...122 pounds. I'm willing to travel out of state, but I am looking for help as far as shuttling to and from a hotel. I also want to finance through the surgical facility itself rather than carecredit or any other credit card.Please share your opinion and don't sugar coat. I need to know what will work best for me! Thanx!

Hi Ttlala... I was reading your post and I'm scheduled to have lipo on my arms and thighs. I wanted to see how you're doing and what your thoughts are now after year has passed. My biggest concerns are saggy skin and more dimpling. Any advice you can give, I would appreciate.

I do go into this knowing results may not lead to expectation but I want smaller legs so bad...and I really am unsure of what procedure is best. Thigh lift? Lipo? A specific lipo? How do I know if I have good skin elasticity in my legs?

Your PS can tell about elasticity of skin. Now, remember both your legs will be in pain and have compression dressings on them..... Go to Sandra43292. Corner input... Good Luck

you do NOT need a thigh lift!!! any doctor who might tell you to get one should have his license revoked!! I had a more drastic version of what you want to do, look at my pics for example..your skin looks to me in really young condition, should be okay if you go to the right doc- I had aqua jet lipo, I'm a week out and have ZERO skin laxity- it'a almost weird to me as I fully prepared myself for the worst- and i did my arms as well!! I'm not a doctor, but I am a sculptor, and I've looked at a lot of naked female bodies because of it..what I would say is you have a lovely natural curve to your upper hips, if they take that down don't let them take it down all the way because then you might end up with one of those post lipo flat line under bottom things happening- not nice- your inner thighs, I can see what you are talking about, but I think you would have the best results if you had them do the entire inside thighs including knees, for aesthetics reasons. I really don't think you need to do your calves or ankles , at all!! just slightly on your outr thighs , and as I said, inner thighs and knees..if you put on weight later you can always go back and do the rest, but right now you have a nice line of the leg (and esp waist, lucky girl) so don't mess with what is not broken! my two cents! :-))happymadelinmunchen:))

Thank You for your input...your honesty is appreciated :) So how did your procedure work out for you? And why did you choose aqua jet lipo?
May 23, 2013
Just to be clear though- you have a really lovely, pretty natural figure!! But I totally understand wanting to look what you feel is you best:-)! Just make sure you go to the right guy, if you have to finance then still spend more (pay later:( ) because it's worth it. You only get one body!! I chose aqua jet because it seemed like the sane natural evolution of lipo- less drugs stay in the body because they suck it all out immediately with the fat, instead of with normal tunescent, and the other technologies I had heard mixed reviews on - having said that, whatever technology they use, really comes down to the art of the surgeon and how good he is. SO CHOOSE VERY WELL!!:-)) Mine worked out perfectly!! take a look at my photos- (Genius Austrian Doctor review etc) only a week out and so happy- they did my eyes and chin as well, and looking superb. even my toughest girlfriends are impressed:-) best of luck with it, and please go to a great board certified guy who does lipo every day !! only way you get good results!!

Your legs look perfect! You have a nice butt and a cute shape! I bet if you went to the gym and really worked them out hard core they would tone up great! Just my opinion. I'm sure you have wanted to do this for a while so I say just don't go crazy with it because you have a good shape already. :) Good luck keep us posted.

Thank You :) And yes I have considered this for quite a few years and finally decided to take the plunge...my saddlebags drive me nuts! Have you had a procedure done?

Not yet I'm going in for my abdomen on June 24th, can't wait! And I see what you're talkin about with the saddlebags but they aren't too bad that's really the only thing I could see you wanting to fix on your body I have pretty big thighs but it's alllll muscle I weight lift all the time and sometimes I hate the thickness of my legs but then I remind myself better muscle than fat lol.

Well it would be nice to be rid of my biggest insecurity and I'd rather do it while I'm young because I can only see it getting worse with age. I'm excited for you! I wish you the best :) Soon our insecurities will be a thing of the past!

ps I tend to agree with yanya- you have a really lovely natural shape and tiny waist! do pilates before you try the hard stuff..it's not an easy path!
