I have always been unhappy with my saddle bags since being a teen. It was one of my dreams to get my thighs and my knees shaped.
I have may be 2 dresses in my wardrobe, and no shorts at all, because I just couldn't wear it, though I can't say I am too ugly or way too fat. I actually went down from 156 lbs to 123 and then back up to 136 in 2 years. So I've been constantly working on pursuing good shape and body that I want.
At this point, after I worked so hard on loosing weight and earning money for lipo, I thought I was ready for it. I was dreaming about getting it done for many years and then few more years I was premeditating on getting it done and then I was really thinking for another year when and where I will get it done.
So I've done it and now I am not sure if it was worth it and I will see the results I so much dreamed of.

My right side is bigger than the left one, and I am not happy with the inner line of my thighs. It is straight and there is bulging area right above where my "knees" area was done.
Overall I look slimmer, but I still wouldn't be confident to wear skirts, shorts or dresses....so I don't see the point of everything then.
Will see my doc by the end of the month and will see what she says.

Going through surgical procedure is often not easy (from my personal experience and reading other reviews), especially if you didn't look that bad in the first place and if done wrongly, your appearance can go worse than better.
Today, I can totally say that I am happy, that I had the courage to go through body sculpting with Athenix and Dr. Odunze (she wasn't board certified at that time, which I didn't know was important).
My body shape looks great and natural whether I maintain my weight or gain a little. I had no lumps and the blooish skin color that I had right after the surgery and was so worried about, is now a normal color.
There are few regrets though. I feel like my result could have been better if I was informed better by the stuff of what I needed to do before and about after care. And also some of my scars didn't heal properly, I don't know if that was doctor's fault or just a bad luck.
The bottom line, if I had to do it again, I would totally do it.
