Do I really NOT have "enough" fat for lipo? I'm 5'6 and 137 lbs with VERY LITTLE muscle. (photos)

Asked By:realself0775 in Atlanta, GA

During a consultation, the Dr at a SB branch told me that I didn't have enough fat for hip, outer thigh or banana roll. I'd always heard the best lipo candidates are those that don't *really need* it? She IS doing waist, lower abs and inner thigh.
