I have lost 120lbs & have an extended TT scheduled for May 11th. I do not need lipo done but PS offered lipo of flank area. I initially declined because I don't want to take "the easy way out" and I'd rather do the work needed (and save $/recovery time) but also keep my curves. But from what i can tell, I think maybe lipo of flank area may give me more curves? Can anyone offer advice on this? Thinking if I'm going thru this I would prefer to get the most optimal results possible. Pros/cons? Thx!
