I'm 35 Years Old and Have Horrible Saddlebags and Cellulite on my Upper Legs/ Butt Will Smartlipo Help?

jessicaj78
I am in good health, but been heavy since 3rd grade. The cellulite & saddlebags appeared at a VERY young age. I'm considering smart lipo to help smooth my body out. I'm mostly bothered by how far the flanks stick out. I'd prefer a smoother silhouette in leggings and skirts. I never had kids and I don't intend on it. I wear a US size 8 in the waist but generally need a 12 in the hips and I'm 5'5''. I was always terrified about a thigh lift, but smart lipo seems less traumatic. Am I a decent candidate?
