I work out daily and have for years, but have always had inner thighs that seem to be resistant to exercise. One has a bit of cellulite, which really bothers me. A really good plastic surgeon nearby is running a special on smart lipo, but I have a friend who became larger in areas that were never a problem with her after she'd gotten regular lipo. Is it worth this risk for me, considering I'm not that bad in the first place? I'm thin/athletic everywhere but here.
