Am I a candidate for lipo in the back of my thigh? (Photo)

Question

I've always had these fat lumps on the back of my thigh since I was a child. I'm fairly thin, but can never seem to get rid of the lumps. It makes me very insecure & it only becomes more noticeable with more weight loss. Am I a good candidate for lipo in the back of my thigh?

An in person examination is always best, but it appears you may be a candidate for liposuction.  This procedure removes stubborn fatty pockets and contours the body.  Your surgeon may recommend J-Plasma as part of your surgery which can help to tighten skin.  See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Dear happyargal,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
