I’ve always had thick thighs since I was a kid, so I got cool sculpting done in 2020 in hopes of it making my thighs appear smaller. I think I have paradoxical adipose hyperplasia from it. Please take a look and let me know if this looks like PAH or something else like loose skin from weight loss. I don’t remember my thighs ever having a buldge like this until months after the coolsculpting. I just want my thighs to be smooth and even with no buldges. F, 19, 5’6, 170pounds. recommendations plz!
