What can be done after thigh lipo, for loose, sagging thick skin?

May 18, 2014
Asked By:SuKo in Sacramento, CA

I had lipo on my thighs 2 yrs ago. I have super muscular thighs but there was a lot of fat on them, after an extended period of non-activity. My results were not good. I have loose, thick skin on the top of my thighs, that drops when I stand, giving appearance of fat, undefined legs. My legs are so much worse. I cant wear shorts or bathing suits now, and my once defined, but fat-containing thighs look like I've never worked out. Very depressing. The folds even show under skinny jeans.
